    Take a totalled Toyota Celica GT-4 (turbocharged, all-wheel-drive) and squeeze pretty much all of it underneath an original Mini without making it look like a monster. Lots of fabrication and awesomeness ensues.

    Their fabrication skills alone make it worth the watch. Tis very cool show.

    Ha, Agreed. It's so cool to see how much work goes into such little things. Like the brake lines and how they do brackets and such.
    Plus I like British humor.

    Yep, agreed. Sometimes I learn pretty simple and cool tricks they do in their build.

    Toronto (the Air Canada Centre) was unreal! That was the longest and loudest standing ovation I've heard at any concert. It easily lasted six minutes, and moved Waters to tears:

    Anyone ever bought Hazet or Stahlwille tools? How do you like 'em?

    Never heard of Hazet

    Both are German brand tools. There are few more but curious to know how good are they?

    This thing was a bitch to get out. Anyway, one it was out I found out there is a crack in the block where it bolts up to the bell housing right at the starter, so basically this was all a large waste of time and energy. So what I'm saying is, if anyone has recently overheated or snapped some timing chains on an M62NV, I got some heads for you
