I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube lately and really like the cars that Larry Chen features on the Hoonigan Autofocus channel. This 1977 Austin Mini is extra special because it’s the classic hot rod formula of putting a big engine in a tiny car. Owned and built by Dario Gaiga, the car is so tiny, it’s insane. Dario has to rest his arms on his knees to drive it. He and someone else drove the car with its 600 hp methanol drinking supercharged V8 for 18 hours from Canada to LS Fest West at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
