Whoops.

Race cars don't have parking brakes, it was in gear and the angle got too great, which turned the motor over once, and then momentum took over. Stupid of them for not using actual wheel chocks.

Or hell, I don't know. Strap it down? I'm sure there is a procedure for strapping the car down for transit.

Also, it shows that the guys aren't total hack artists and have some legit skills. The finished product is bitchin'

Take either of those cars off a jump with a 10-foot drop and smack the dirt at a 45-degree angle like the various Raptor drivers did and tell me how they hold up.

vv Exactly. The only problems with the Raptor are located between the steering wheel and headrest.

Well if the Raptor drivers knew how to drive as well as the M3 and LeSabre drivers do they'd probably be fine.

Someone posted this in one of the other threads, don't think it's been posted here. Stuffing a Celica GT suspension and drivetrain into a classic Mini, with just the right amount of cocking about.

The level of fabrication in this series is absolutely mindblowing. No easy-mode tube frames; the dude is a wizard with sheetmetal, and the project is approaching Kevbarlas levels of fabrication and metal replacement, percentage-wise if not by mass.

Given the amount of time and effort put in it seems a waste to use what these days is a pretty old, obsolete engine/drivetrain package (unless there was a compelling reason I missed?)

I'm sure it's not too expensive at this point and/or he already had the drivetrain available.

He lays out his reasons in this Q&A session:

Long story short:
- He wanted to make the ultimate project Mini
- He got the Mini cheap, locally (though didn't know it was as bad as it was)
- His GT-Four got written off so he already had the drive train

They kinda hit on it at the end - they filmed that at the same time as Roadkill #29. They're pros at looking good presentable not like serial killers while working on two shows until ungodly hours.

Also, they did something with that Camaro that you don't see often on the cable-channel car shows they call out. Any other show would've replaced the clutch and not mentioned it at all. They brought up a very real fact that if your car has some miles on it and you've been hot rodding it at all during that time, the stock clutch isn't going to like an additional 150hp and drag radials.

It may not be the unhinged awesomeness that is Roadkill, but I'd rather have Hot Rod Garage and Roadkill alternating every two weeks, than Roadkill alone every four.

Well they kinda do, throttle and hitting the brakes affecting the spin of the wheels actually provides a bit of control. Not a lot but it's there.
