Thing is though, it doesnt include the hundreds of ours of altering the car to allow it to be changed, all a bit of a bizzarre record really.

Still cool in a weird nerdy kind of way though.

Indeed, its a bizarre twist on "changing a car engine" when its not really a car in the conventional sense in that it couldnt actually be driven very far without the engine either falling out on its own or overheating etc.

Still kind of cool anyway though.

That shell has definately aged better than their moustaches too, lol

We posted this on our Facebook wall.

Have you read the Youtube comments?

The amount of people out there who have no grasp of mechanics it seems. So many people suggesting it's fake and there's second engine in the boot powering it. Other people saying it would overheat even at that distance and exhaust would be needed etc...
