Nothing like my classic look > pickup is going to be ;) > > The Muffin Man Yeeeuck!! That is truly hideous. I am not a purist, but how anyone can think that is a tasteful modification is beyond me! Now, anyone remember the Chevy engined pickup done by GT Developments? Now that was nice! Chevy V8 in the back, Hewland transaxle, double wishbone suspension.... mmmmm.  SignatureRgds Steve steve@dsnclassics.co.uk www.dsnclassics.co.uk P.S. Just for a laugh...... my spell checker just interpreted 'transaxle' as 'transsexual' !!! Wasn't it supposed to be a hillclimber but came way down the pack as it was impossible to avoid the trees with it?

That's the one. I think it was stuffed big time in the end. The way I understand it GTD (who produced lovely GT40 replicas) decided to have a little fun with a 'spare engine and box' one day.

My point was that a rear wheel drive pickup with a V8 engine in the back goes like stink and goes round corners like a fish on roller-skates. Much like a Beetle with a Porsche engine in it. Odd that we only have Mini vs. Beetle drag races and not Mini vs. Beetle track days or rally's....... ;) The Muffin Man >> MiniChicago wrote:12/2/03 12:44 PM >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >like a Beetle with a Porsche engine in it.

The Beetle was actually banned from the Mobilgas Rally in Australia becuase it was too good ;-) > The Beetle was actually banned from the Mobilgas Rally in Australia > becuase it was too good ;-) I borrowed a 1302 Beetle for a week and was glad to give it back. It was loathesome! Now this is from someone who will drive anything for the fun of it. But a Beetle..... never again! SignatureRgds Steve steve@dsnclassics.co.uk www.dsnclassics.co.uk Ah, but this was actually mid engined, not rear engined. Like a Ferrari or, for that matter, a Ford GT40!
