Back in the day I ran a supercharged Mini, the engine was a racy 1400 with low compression, the supercharger was a Shorroks, I put twin radiators on it and doubled up on the diaphragm spring in the clutch to stop the slip, I built the gearbox with the highest ratio final drive available and put 13" wheels on it with 185/70 tyres, even with the high gearing on 25lb boost and a coldish engine it would spin the wheels on a dry road in 4th gear. I got fed up with the constant final drive pinion failures in the end and sold the engine without the supercharger to Patric Watts was at Woolwich College in South London with me and who had a hot mini at the time, he went on to be compete in the British Touring Car Championship, happy days..

Seeing you pick up the back of the mini reminded me of a story that was on the news many years ago when minis first came out at that time almost all cars were rear wheel drive . The story goes someone was driving a new mini in town and had to stop at some traffic lights seeing this a gang of young chaps cumming out of a pub thought it would be fun to lift the back of the mini off the ground assuming it to be a rear wheel drive and the wheels would just spin and the car would not move . in fact the mini just drove off and it was only later then they pulled in to a garage to get some petrol that they found several bloody fingers still attached to the rear bumper I have not idea if this is correct or not but could well be.
