That angry rabbit at the end looked and sounded rather like a Devil Bunny to me. The Evil That Fluffs is among us!

In the video the tube reinforced sill concept is an interesting way to provide rigidity and not take up space in the passenger compartment.

I have a St165 and a Mini and I'd have to admit, it has never crossed my mind to cross them in the gene pool. The first Binky video was great. The Rack and the Grinder caddy are awesome! Very nice work.

We were probably drunk.
I really can't remember how it all started but that's normally a good guess for projects like this.
After conceiving of the idea, my mate Nik was told by numerous people that 'It can't be done.' And that's the worst thing you can say to him - it only hardened his resolve. So before embarking on the project, we decided that it's so insane, we should film it. So we have.
We're taking the full engine, gearbox and running gear from a ST185 Toyota Celica GT4 and transplanting it into the Mini. There are obviously one or two little problems to overcome, but that'll be part of the fun.
There will be a few surprises on the engine side a bit later on, but for now we're concentrating on getting the Mini to a state where the transplant can start.
I have no idea how frequent the updates will be, we both work full time and it's a weekend thing only so it may take some time, but we're hoping to produce one of the fastest Mini's on the planet. We're doing it for fun and hopefully the car will be ready to show early next year.
If you fancy taking a look at our progress, have a look at this: Project Binky - Mental Mini
