12 Second MiniVan

Somebody showed me the 12 second MiniVan today - it made me smile. Basically, this guy shows up at a show with his 'woody' or wood-panelled minivan, drops off his wife and kids, gets a laugh from the other contenders then continues to do an amazing 1/4 mile time and beat a Z28 to boot. Check out the video

If you want to see more of this minivan, have a look at Paul E Smith's Turbovan website for the complete story. He's got all sorts of items listed - 1/4 mile times, parts, costs etc. Pretty neat huh?
