Look closely at what some fool has put under the bonnet of a CRX.

Surely this is a fake!?!

Cheers,

I remember in the seventies when I still lived in Malta, people there used to fit Mini engines in every Jap front wheel drive car that carks it as parts for them were very expensive and hard to get anmd on the other hand Mini engines were so cheap (second hand UK imports). I remember a friend had a Honda N600 fitted with an 850 and just up the street from where I lived in Birkirkara a guy had a 1950 Fiat 500C Topolino with a 998cc which looked so Cool on 10 inch wheels. Pity I could not afford a camera those days ! But then again I never even dremt I would be getting involved with Minis at later age in a different country. But they will live in my memories of my old Home country and the smart and silly mods they used to do there. Viva Malta ! I will be there in Malta on Holiday again in July next year and I will; have a look around for these not so silly things and will also have a Cam with me this time.
