Couldnt drive it though....


The car is obviously driven, it's even on coilovers, no switches to raise it up to get in his driveway. It's a compromise between looking that good, and being able to drive everywhere.
We make compromises with our car, even buying them instead of a modern we take the thrill of driving them and the community that comes with them instead of safety and space.

mate would rather drive a beetle than a bini anyday, atleast you would get respected for driving one


I wouldnt , does the fact that ZCars but a VTEC in one taunt you in any way?


No but a subaru wrx engine or a porsche engine in the back does mate :(

It is driven on a flat bit of road, with no loose gravel otherwise it be screwed,

Mini are safe its just the other drivers...

But most classic minis can get over white markings on the road

Simply don't see the attraction at all... but then again, I'm also a MkII Escort fan, so my opinions vary :(

Just to state, I am not a BMW Mini hater, i love a standard john cooper works in red with a black roof, looks really nice IMO.

However all of the cars in mab01uk's post look terrible!!

Sorry, just an opinion!!

No problem!.........each to their own. :(

The wide variety of cars from standard to modded has always been one of the attractions of the Mini and MINI scenes for me.
