Going uphill on a bike, and have a mini coming downhill in "reverse". As it passes you see where the driver is sat.

There was one in Brighouse. Could have caused chaos on the school run.

I guess this could be considered for this thread but I’ve become utterly fascinated by this guy who has taken a 1966 Mustang and wants to put a Coyote engine and suspension in it which involves making new frame rails and widening the body 3”!
He has a business rebuilding written off cars and seems like just a kid, but then just about everyone under thirty five looks like that to me now.
Cant wait to see if he manages to make it all work.

A girlfriend had an Suzuki X-90 in the 1990's, it was slow, it had no space, even for two, it was no fun because it was pointlessly high and it was damn ugly, not cute or weird, just plain ugly. Can't remember when I last one. A really stupid car.

YouTube has got to be the best place to spot these. Sure you can put a V12 in an old 190 but why?

Same applies here, a supercharged V8 in an old Roller. To save you watching all the episodes first time out it destroyed the transmission:

That Mercedes has had a very nice conversion done, used to call them "sleepers".

It's relatively easy to bung an engine in, the effort comes into making it look factory fit and that looks very well done imho.
