Cobra mounting a Ginetta.
Can anyone identify the car in the background?
Kinda looks like a Ferrari LM but rear end looks too stubby.

Edit....likely a Ginetta G12!!!!

I'm sure I'm missing the point but my 2014 F30 328i has the same 240 HP. I never would sell it but if that buyer would have given me $17.5 million for it, I'd be okay and he/she would have saved $500,000 and gotten two extra doors and a back seat.

So visited the Mini today....she is really coming along. The engine is running like a top, suspension is done. All the work is pretty much done except for installing the interior. Should be ready for road in a few weeks. The pictures don't do the car justice, the attention to detail is outstanding. When It's all done I'll do a photo timeline and some finished product in daylight. Note the LED's on the dash, they are connected to the door switch as are the entry lights and other interior lighting. Lisa is very happy.

Murf, I assume that is you in the background of the first pic holding your large beer….

The vid says the engine made 23hp. And I thought my ‘68 Bug with 53hp was low. I can’t remember what you said yours made, sygazelle. Was it 40hp? 45hp? We were flying back then.

Good memory. Yes, my '61 was a whopping 40 hp, up from 36 hp from the '60 model. We '61 owners thought we were pretty darn special with the extra 4 hp. We were living proof that you can have a blast without a lot of horsepower.

Later in life, I got some real horsepower. I have to say I liked that too!
