Has anyone out there thought about doing a dvd of a complete Mini strip down and rebuild either from scratch or a restoration?

I know Mini films did the engine and z cars onversion one but cant think of any others.

Would be a great Christmas or birthday present for any Mini fan!

Waiting for a reply now...

I'm hopeful for this, digging around his site shows a picture of him sat with three:

Fingers crossed! I loved his A 4x4 Is Born series.

[sven_2k4]

I've had a reply......sounds promising!

Steve Thanks for your email.

More than thought about it - proposed a series to Discovery as a tribute to it.

But, see my note below.

All the best,

WRECK RESCUE - the hit TV series will be available on DVD from 1st December2008 - check out www.wreck-rescue.com The two disc DVD features all five stories plus over 40 minutes ofpreviously unseen clips. 1959 Mk1 Frog Eye Sprite, 1972 Mk 1 Capri, 1959Elva 100 race car, AEC Matador 4x4 truck and an early 1980's Toyota LandCruiser.

I have received loads of emails from fans of my Is Born shows asking what'snext. Sadly, Discovery Real Time have said that its audience isn't after my kind of workshop series any more, so there are no new projects on thehorizon. Really sorry. I would love to do more.

If that bothers you, a few suggestions. You can contact Discovery Real Time via the viewer feedback part of itswebsite: http://www.discovery.../contact-us/uk/ and let themknow what you want to watch.

Or, you could post a message at one of Discovery's forums athttp://community.discoverychannel.co.uk/eve/forums You could also leave a message at the fan page that someone has just startedon Facebook under my name.

Nothing to do with me but I hope it helps. If you would like to receive my newsletter (and you haven't alreadyregistered) you can sign up at www.markevans.co.uk/mark-evans-newsletter.php

Hi Mark, Just wondering if i2i or yourself have thought of doing a Mini is born orRe-born....... bearing in mind the amount of people rebuilding from scratchor restoring is on the rise there must be a call for it? Love the shows.

Many Thanks Steve

Had a reply too:

I think recognition is due for Mark taking the time to reply to us all personally!

Think I'll follow his advice and post in this places, as contrary to what Discovery think I DO want to watch those kind of shows.

Hi Ash

Would love to and proposed a mini project to Discovery.

But failed to convince them - see my note below.

All the best,

MARK

Suprised Discovery think there's no call for those programs anymore. Obviously being on a car related forum I'm biased but those are the main programs on there I watch.

The Frog Eye the girl did was nice she had a real squeaky voice though

[sven_2k4]

Has any more been done with the Mini 50 DVD mentioned earlier?!?!

Also has anyone got the paul banham mini sprite video/dvd.... converting your mini into a frogeye sprite...... saw it years ago would like to see it again.....
