after speaking to jeff ruggles last night at the ace cafe, i am a bit miffed at how my car is still standard???!!! i am not the biggest fan of bodykits or foreign engines and am slightly old school in my taste.

is this standard??!!!


or this?


or how about a custom painted boot? (yes i did paint it!)







this is what i class as standard.

this was back when i first built her.

otehr opinions please!

Well it didn't roll off the production line looking like that, so no it's not standard.

Shes a beast i can tell you that, cheers for the ride at BLuewater run by the way, didnt get to thank you, we got in miniworld

so only chavved up body kitted and foreign engined minis that have cost thousands are entitled to be in teh magazine, but a back to basics home built mini isnt the in thing??!

hence why i dont get miniworld! half of the ones they feature are OTT and often a bit too chavvy for my liking, where as i think mini mag has a nice mix of not OTT tuned mini's and standard mini's, new and old, track, weekend fun and daily.

I wouldn't say it was standard. It just has more of a sleeper look to it.

And unless ol' Ruggles has defected, he works for Mini Mag.

pretty much how it used to be. quiet and unassuming then blows other things away, or at least gives them a run for its money! not lairy and in your face!

How on earth is that still standard?!!

Removable bonnet
No front bumper
Wavy grille
Alloy wheels
Wheel arches
Change of carb
Air filter
Bullet Mirrors
Union jack boot lid
Centre exit exhaust
Blade fuse box
Mk2 Rear lights

And I'm sure there's more that could be added to that list.

As said above, if it's not as it left the factory then it's not standard

hmmmm...spot the gaping error? i seem to have got my wires crossed

aaanyway, back to the relative safety of the original point, no, i wouldnt call that standard.

[duncancallum]

[sweetser]

[sazal]
