that and no mini has ever gone through 1 small puddle and kept going, let alone 1/2 way through the Thames and took the jump

Pretty funny but.

Educational too.
Lotsa drivers, now, would have totaled the vehicle and not be able to continue.

This Valiant Charger has done the US Drag Week for a lot of years. (it gets shipped back and forth like a yo-yo)

5 tracks over 5 days with around a 1,000 or more miles between 'em and it has to be street driven. John, has run 7.4's before in the 190's, but on Saturday night in Perth, it ran a 201 MPH top end. The car was driven carefully off the line due to wheel spin. Worth a look.

There was one at local servo few weeks ago, at idle the whole servo roof was shaking like Shit... NFI was size donk was in it, but the twin 3in pipes ending at the diff and biggest rubber I've seen on a Torry in many a year were a good sign.

Story goes it was done back in a time when people used them for speedway cars, Its a survivor currently running around North of Sydney apparently ..
Id have it in a heart beat, V8 Auto Air etc, No wheezy stressed little oil burners or electric this's n thats to go kaput, A few drawbacks maybe but Bucket loads of style .. Should have a sticker on it " Old car with Altitude "

Edit found another pic : Not a fan of the spare tire set up but hey ..
