Really got to stop looking at Gti's on ebay, they're becoming more tempting by the day...

The VAG 2.0 TSI has to be up there as one of the best engines ever produced.

Its the 25th Anniversary thats tempting me, insurance is cheaper on that than a vmax full works kit for the Min, hmm... :)

Do I make a set of banded steels for the winter or save and design some splits next year? Hmm... (can you tell i'm trying to avoid uni work lol)

-
Midas Mk1
Im thinking of designing d1 style splits,6" wide, but that'd mean wider arches, sort of going against my orignal concept.
Dayglo orange 5.5" steels with chrome hubcaps however might go with the dayglo grille im doing? but will ultra heavy.... im rubbish at decisions lol

Ended up getting distracted and starting drawing some up on solidworks, instead of the motorbike wheels I was supposed to be doing.... lol :D

I resisted the german car influence. Coming back from the ring last year, I thought the mini has got to go..and buy a golf and make that into a track car.. but now after this year, I thought the mini went well, and im happy with her :D

I thrashed the Mini last weekend, and with only the 80 or so horses its got, it's still pretty nippy. It's sort of gone from my daily, to mine and my Dads toy, and I could really do with a decent daily that will last, that reflex silver one looks awesome, shame its not nearer aha :)

80 horses in a mini, is enough to get you into trouble lol.

SamMason
Question is; Was it a good night? If it was, then why the complaining? Tee-Hee :P

Trying to decide what engine to build over the winter - confusing times!

Do what I'm doing, Twin Cam BMW head conversion! Then you can tell me what mistakes you've made and stop me doing the same :) Teamwork!

Insurance is reasonable on the 25th Gti too, hmm...
I really fancy twin 40's on a 7port though, the deciding factor really is if my current cam is too tame for it, decisions decisions aha :)

Cheers Bud, I love how in different light conditions it changes so much, think others must have liked it too, was so shocked getting the trophy :)

Spent half an hour polishing my roof, trying to remove a stain, turned out to be a clouds reflection - Fail! :/

Awesome. Subscribed a while ago. The Aston grey inspiration came from your car :P

Cheers! yeah mine changes from blue to grey depending on the light, metallic grey Minis are rare, and imo very interesting, yukon grey/ smoke /tweed look nice, but are pretty common atm :)
