Maybe this is heresy on the Fit forum but...

My buddy has a 1979 Mini Cooper and is in love with small cars. He is all psyched because apparently, you can put a refundable $50 deposit on a Smart car and be one of the first to test drive one. You can then get your money back if you don't want it. Here's their site...

smart USA - open your mind to the car that challenges the status quo


I for one won't do it--it'd be like cheating on my Fit. Then I'd have to buy her flowers and a cold air intake to make up with her... ... hey that cold air intake sounds like a good idea... Hmmm

I just thought someone might be interested.

 

IT drives like crap!! The short wheelbase makes the ride quality equivalent to a Lotus Elise!! The only good thing about it, is that it takes about $20 to fill up.

 

if you do an engine swap with a motocycle engine , it will beat a lambo and probably alot of other cars..


google-video it.. smart vs lambo you should be able to find it

 

This is awesome!!

But again, the ride quality is HORRIBLE!!!

 

Just like I've always said. You can hot rod anything.

 

What's next? A Citroen 2CV with a Hemi? Wait, did I say that out loud, oh no....

 

Ergh, ah, hmm.... Citroen 2CV motors are "hemis" trust me, I have pulled a few and seen enough of them apart!

Most people don't really know what a "hemi" engine means.

Anyways, since I came from Audi/VWs, here's a clip of a VW Polo with a GSX-R engine from the netherlands, also has a Mini Cooper with a ZZR1100. both converted to RWD:

Both cars were built and designed for drifting. Here are photo galleries of the build:

• The Polo
• The Mini

 

Including Chrysler, as the current "Hemi" is not even a true Hemi.

Sue for false advertising? Dunno.....

Thanks for posting the video, the Dutch do some interesting things from time to time.
