I've just been comparing some picks I've just taken with those of 10 years ago and apart from the paint being nowhere near as shiny as it once was(its nowhere near as rotten as it was)it's almost unrecognisable to being the same mini

Yes if you want to clean them properly. Once you have all contaminates off (Tar and metal deposits), get a good quality wheel wax on them. Makes cleaning so much easier in the future.

On my 1 series I can fit my hands between the spokes to clean the inside of the rim. Just got to watch the razor sharp dust shields. Ouch!

That's was the brief. I did intend on using PC components originally but i though the sound of the psu fan, the heatsink fan and additional cooling fans would make too much noise.
The laptop in the jukebox now was only 6 months old when i built it and is perfect for the job. Runs fast and is silent

I'd post a witty reply to your comment, but I'd imagine it would be efficiently dealt with!

personally I say A series.But it depends what you want from the car. If you want power and speed then maybe vtec, if you want classic mini shenanigans then A series.

I watched it on the plane back from China. Nothing special in my mind but it was definitely better than the other option, twilight.
