check this out, i spotted it when i was visiting my dad in Sharm el shaekh, Egypt, a while ago, even the egyptians like modifying minis, this one has a 1275, fake side exhausts, two blue foglights, air-conditioning (vital out there), a sunroof, the badge at the back said its a clubman, i dont think so, got some cool bootlatch thing! the lights at the back are different, and the front indicators are as well, i couldnt believe it when i saw it, managed to stall the quad bike i was riding when i saw it as well, lol

Haha great. It's always fun seeing foreign mini's, I guess its a necessity to modify them when you're somewhere like that, I doubt spares are easy to come by! I like the random upside down rear bumper..

The boot hinges are actually a very good idea, means you don't have to lean over the boot lid to get anything in!

Tis comical with the badge and exhausts.

Lol, yeah we did that! It was basically a convoy of about 30 people of all ages, most of whom had never been on a quad bike before and had never driven before (too young) which they then let out on the open, very busy dual carrigeway At one point, we were going up the hard shoulder on the wrong side! Then theyd stop us to drink this weird bedouin tea stuff which made me hallucinate abit

Brilliant fun though, wish we could do it here...

I went to Cairo for a day trip from Cyprus a few years back, I found it totally bizzare that one minute you're in the city, turn a corner and it's just sand.

Cool place though, well, what I saw of it!

Yea but instead of leaning OVER the boot, you have to lean UNDER the boot! Unless your really short id rather have to lean over! lol
