    Many of you may realize that installing a Honda Civic engine in a classic Mini is a well-know swap.

    I didn't think it was possible to make a CRX HF slower, but apparently I am wrong.

    Now THAT's funny.

    I guess the Honda was too darned reliable for him.

    I consider it brilliant satire... (the level of animosity in the Mini world to VTEC swaps is very high) .... the builder just did it "just because". ;-)

    I understand the car is now deceased...
