I once put a 1300cc engine in a mini van - went like stink but the tyres didn't last long.
Lowered the steering wheel column, extended the gearbox, flared the wheel arches, twin webers, the lot.
Good times.

The sending off his galvanised West Ham,how often does that happen.
Mike Dean has now awarded 102 red cards in the Premier League.
He likes being the centre of attention does Mr Dean.
Thought VAR was there to correct obvious errors. VAR checks bookings to make sure they aren't reds for sure so not entirely convinced you are correct. If you are then it's even more ****** up than I imagined !

Reminds me of the Mexico( cruelly nicknamed “rustico”) 1.6 I had back in the day all yellow m,hand grenade bonnet clips and a souped up engine which went sh1t of a stick . Handled like a railway carriage but still great fun
