Now if it was a V12 then Lizzie might have had that to fit in her miggy to give it some more power.   ;D ;D

Just imagine if it was just the right size to fit the back of a miggy estate.  nice stretch of M1 test track.  Button on the dash for the actuaters to open the rear door, quick run through the sequece and whoosh.

You might just have to calculate the max speed and the strength plus aerodynamics of the mig 1st though.   8-) 8-) :y

If it's making 10,000+ shaft horses, then your MIG won't be looking like a MIG by the time you've done the necessary mods to keep that lot in check.

Alternatively you can buy a ready built bike for a mere $185,000
