Hi, I'm Alex From France

my name is Alexandre and I am 29 years old. I leave in france near Auxerre (Yonne). I'm registered here because by I was looking for radical preparations on Mini, I fell on your forum and realization of zcars !
And just I wanted to say is that it excite me to see all these mini car with big big capacity of acceleration. Some preparation are very very incredible(450HP!!!!!!)
I have nearly had a Mini as first car, but the one that I was to see was absolutely made rusty and I still did not have knowledge essentials to restore it.
So i bought a Peugeot 205 lacoste and further to that there I had 7 of it, :
205 Lacoste 60hp (my first car)
205 CTI 1.6 115hp
205 GTI 1.6 115hp
205 Dturbo 78hp
205 Xld 60hp
205 GTI 1.9 130hp
205 Rallye 1988
and I have just two now(no accident with any of her, just sold or kept):
a 205 Rallye 1988 full-stock that I restored entirely, and a 205 Xld, which is devoted to circuit(i have a lot of pictures if you want) and that I am taking back up and who is soon going to accept a motor of 605 TCT(2.0 turbo, 150HP), boost in about 200HP dependable, because i want it well when my wife will drive with !!!!!(i love my wife! ) .
You have to know that I am handicapped of the left hand because of an accident of motorbike in 2003 with a Honda 600 hornet, but now I have honda CBR 1000 RR 2008 full black and full stock (in France it means 106hp... )too. And this motorbike serves me only for quiet walk(?) with my wife, (what a pity you will say to me for a sportsbike!), because their figure more now that with my 600 Hornet.
but me and my girlfriend wich have the same passion of the Mini, we want to build a mini with vtec engine or bike engine, just dedicate to circuit. That's why too, I look at your assemblages to define the expense and see if it is possible to adapt them for a behaviour to the left ride hand.
thank you and sorry if my english is not very well, my english lessons date of for a long time...
Alex

From having read other people's threads on the mini forum, if you are in Europe and have to order parts it all gets a bit more expensive, so do factor that in when asessing the costs. I'm sure you and your girlfriend (and/ or wife!) will have lots of fun doing the project
