Suppose you can keep an eye on the engine while driving, I would love to see that engine in my rear view while giving it some, just be careful she doesn't spit oil at you lol

Definition of a sleeper in my eyes doesn't need to be a rat bag piece of crap car with rust all over it. Simply a car that's completely standard on the outside and has a mega engine build among other things.
You see, I don't class my car entirely as a sleeper. It has the RL7's and a Mongoose tailpipe sticking out the end.

Looks the part mate, definitely a sleeper in my book.
Love this car, you just need some black plug leads though, the blue ones look a little odd,
Regards andy

There's different levels of "sleeper".
Absolute sheds running a crazy lump on steel/standard wheels.
A very tidy car, say a Passat decked on some smart wheels, but running a 2.7 bi-turbo.
Then things like the Mini on here, or the gold Bonus, they look slightly out of the ordinary, some may even take a second look, but it's too late as they've gone round the curvature of the Earth by then

I will do, it is a 1967 Morris BMC cooper with a Nissan motor, nothing huge, makes just over 100bhp at the wheels which i guess isn't expected in a 45 year old mini?
I love your tank set up is that on a carbon/replacement boot floor?
Looks lovely.
