i bet that any american cant state that any of their cars stayed in production for over 40 years and were mainly unchanged really in all of that time, they are just jealous that they cant make a decent car.....at least the mini could go around corners which most american cars cant!!

Several years ago while i was on holiday in Florida i saw several cars with such enormous wheels on they looked more like monster trucks rather than cars and both examples were a beige/brown colour more akin to something you try to avoid stepping in.

Yet they also drive around in some serious bits of kit that look understated but when you look under the "hood" etc its a different kettle of fish. I suppose its a Barry Boys paradise over there with so much to select with regards to mods but keeping it tasteful is something else entirely.

Hey not all of us like those stupid monster tires. What that guy did to that Impaia is an insult to a Classic. The Mini lost because it broke down and they squeesed a 400lb slug into the back. I don't think the weight capacity could handle the 800lbs of stupidiy that was in that car. It's a really nice Mini though. One of the few episodes I've watched. Plus this show has a specific market it appeals too, you can tell by the cars. Anything with the Hip HopThug look seems to always win which is why I stopped watching it.

Bound to have had an id swap as it needs to be 25 years old to get into the US.

Actually some Mini were sold in the U.S. and many more in Canada. You'll see a lot of them from Canada, even mine was. However the registration for them are very vague so dates get changed all the time and most owners here, unless they belong to a club, don't know what they have.
