Where's the fuel tank? If it's just got the Mini one then just turning the engine over would pretty much empty it!

I like that, alot.

Just noticed that around the rear, it's got bars holding the car up, so I presume that engine is too much for a mini body to hold, well, the engine weighs 11 tonnes, so not surprised..

And just read all the writing, it's going to be at Goodwood FoS this weekend, and so am I, so i'll try and get some good pictures of it.. Smile

Do you think, without those stands, the minilites will buckle under that pressure?
