Being a lowly design student I have a lot of time on my hands over the summer. I also happen to have an old shell in fairly good condition except someone dropped some pipe on the roof and smashed it in. So being the design genius that I am I've decided to build a sort of Jag D type GT thing, so far ive knocked up a quick photoshop design and wondered what you thought...

ah cool, i drive through mickleton when i just go for a random drive! im in badsey not evesham itself, so i think im a little bit closer to mickleton than evesham itself! know a few people who used to live there, you lived there for a while? ah sound, il give you a PM if i come up with any questions! one i got, did you live in halls for the first year? they were on about all the trips they do when i went to the open day, still waiting for the open day for the manufacturing, and they all sound so good!

dont know if im going to take my mini for the first year, as if i get the halls i want to get in i cant take it as there is nowhere to park prob bring it up one weekend though! or we'll have to go for a treck around the hills at broadway and snowshill!

plenty of parking round there and let me tell you nothing is cooler than having an awesome mini in halls carpark Change in plan on the project front searching for a garage in swansea, if i find a good one im starting early, if you have any suggestions for additions, changes to the design put em up ill make this a kind of group forum car

[chadders15]

you have to do that

[The_Mistro]

how is this going? have you managed to find a garage yet?

I think it would look better if it was a roadster like the old jag.
me living in cornwall the only time i have seen something similar is at riviera run the past few years there has been a white roadster mini.

it has a red blue and green stripe on it and i cant for the life of me find a picture of it.

I have yet to find it on this forum but im sure some1 knows where it lives

Ofc with the winter we have had in the UK you would have to be very brave to have a roadster and drive it around

your right there, im currently drawing up proper plans and gathering all the bits so i can blitz this out in a week or so lol. also may have to wait because ive gone blown my money on a Chevy camaro z28 Also experimenting with ways to do the screen, heated perspex or polycarbonate seems the best route so far
