Defo a nice looking mini and looks like its sitting right on the track photos you have there

[iTomKart]

Looks awesome!! I'd love it if mine ever got featured, doubt it will ever happen though!

 

Fire Stephen at minimag an email with pictures, your mini's beautiful and if there's a story to go with it there's no reason it shouldn't feature imo!  

 

Nice job!! I have a folder on my laptop that is named "Mini cooper inspiration pics" there you can find a lot of pics on your car.. Keep it up!

 

Glad it's inspiring you, means a lot that you've saved pictures of it

 

Nice! Also nice to see somebody else in the Hull Uni engineering department! What year are you currently in ?

I moved from Hull to Nottingham uni in september, I did the foundation year and now I'm in first year at Nottingham. How are you finding it?

Introducing... Miss April ;)

 

So happy to feature in the Mini Mag calendar, what an end to a great year of Minis with the summer shows, the feature and now this! Hopefully there'll be lots more to come in 2014, including big changes to Lenny. Here's to version 2.0 and many more happy mini years

Once I've gone through this set of brake discs, it will be on to some special 7.9's and a set of 10's rest assured!

So the new year's coming and Lenny's got around a bit over the internet and I think people have kind of seen it now. This calls for a revamp!

 

I'm just thinking out loud here and throwing ideas around to see what people think, but I'm thinking of going for the track ******* look.

 

I've realised that because of the photoshoots and stuff I was scared to really hack about in it in case it got chipped and worn out, so now that's all been done I want to get out there and enjoy it without worrying about shiny stuff staying shiny. BUT I'm not sure I have the heart to do it to my first car! 

 

It will mean it looks kind of tatty with cable ties and unfinished carbon, holes in places there shouldn't be, rubber grip tape all over the interior and things not really matching, but will mean I can enjoy it without always having my mind on it staying perfect

 

What do you think? Should I keep it shiny as it took so much effort to get it that way, or mix it up and bring something new for 2014

 

Need your help, I'm fully torn!

[a_woolhouse]

It'd be nice to keep it as it is, but like you say where's the fun in that? new year new chapter for the lenny story, lovely car by the way saw it when it was featured 

[jb93]

Do what you want pal, it's your car. I'm sure it'll look sweet no matter what path you choose

[mattiek]

Get Lenny a brother or sister and build a full track car!

[megamini_jb]

^ +1

I'd keep Lenny as he is and get another to play with

[iTomKart]

In an ideal work I'd buy him a friend to play with, but money is pretty much not existent at the moment, being a student and all that! That's why I'm thinking about mods to do that are pretty much free of charge, I need to tinker with him somehow

The other option is to sell up in spring and by a rear wheel drive car to hoon around in and destroy, and get up to three times the power for half the money...

Dam these emotional attachments!

[iTomKart]

So Lenny's been SORN'd, let's get version 2.0 underway!

Updates muchly required.
