turbo Busa powered 1966 mini Cooper

240 hp at 1500 pounds. Must be really fun! In comparison, the porsche Spyder from the factory weighed about 1250pounds and had 110 hp. A kit car with a tricked out engine will get about 230 hp, so this Cooper has nearly the power to weight of a racing Porsche Spyder. Pretty damn amazing

What the hell?

Why is this biker wearing skates?

Hank Young customs, choppers, and hot rods

The customized modified 2002 Hayabusa is built by Hank Young, it's been fitted with two small HID headlamps, a Bonneville land speed-style front fender, an extended, tubular swingarm, and a spoked rear wheel.

How cool is the front!?! Visually impacting, and has to be a good aerodynamic aid too.
