And let us not forget the (in)famous Twini Mini, an Austin Mini Cooper with an extra engine crammed into the boot. 178 combined horsepower: "About the same weight-to-horsepower ratio as the Ferrari Berlinetta". Evidently, no attempt was made to mechanically link the two engines' drivetrains, each instead powering its own set of wheels. One day on the test track, driver John Cooper was quite nearly killed when one end of the car locked up and sent him skidding. http://www.mibv.com/Mini/Misc/TwiniMini/ Jeffrey Earl 1983 diesel Westfalia "Vanasazi" http://www.vanthology.com/ "OK, I'll leave it at that since I've already gone on for far too long about something I don't know a whole lot about ..." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
