Anyone see it last night,

I loved the fact that the copper team thought they were gonna win just because they were using a 5.1ltr V8 in a Carlton estate, then didnt even finish the course.

But......

From the commentary I gathered that they had used the drive shaft from the Carlton and mated it to the V8.

Why were they suprised that it snapped????

The black mini that they used as the front end looked alright.

Should have chucked it on ebay.

i missed the begining bit wot was the reason for making the mini sooo big? did it have something to do with the massive engine they dropped in it?
