A bit like conjoined twins.

Wouldn't have it any other way though.

Wouldn't be a Mini without all the quirks, plus they sound so cool.

Adam, if you're talking about the Kent engine, i'd reconsider the 'heap of crap' thing.

The crossflow is one of the most popular and tuneable engines ever constructed.

Years ago, a friend of mine had an HT Racing built, all steel 1700 Kent on 48s. It made just shy of 200 horsepower at nearly 10,000 rpm and sounded like a motorbike engine.

Such a compact and light power unit too.

Pah! That's nowt... You should see what 286 bhp and 301 lb ft does to a FWD CVH gear box.

I've got a bag of swarf you could kill a man with.

Harriers are worth insane money now.

I think you can actually buy a Harrier jump jet for marginally less than an Escort Harrier.
