Cars weigh a lot, even with no engine! It's hard enough moving mine about with no pannels on it too

you can do a mini, Without the engine it would be very achievable.

that is a hell of alot of weight I doubt it would be 'very achievable',think how much you can bench press or the maximum amount of weights you can lift a reckon it would be about a 100-120kg now imagine lifting 5 times that with ease

Nobody said bench press a mini You dont have to lift the whole thing clear off the floor to roll it.

unless you are picking the entire car up off the floor turning it over and then placing it on its roof, you are not lifting 500Kg, rolling over the car will use the wheels as a pivit point and so rolling it over will require much less force than lifting the entire thing. Think of a wheelbourgh, you can move them around with a lot of weight in them, but i doubt that you could lift the enitire thing of the floor

I'm sure I saw in a lads mag I bought recently (something like Loaded I think) an article about how to balance a mini on your head
