Does anyone remember Chop Suey the mini van?

 

Was a fairly big hitter for a while on the mini scene. What ever happened to it?

 

[Artful Dodger]

man thats cool

[Chris1992]

i think it got repainted with hotrod flames, might have been a different one though... so epic

[Tamworthbay]

Wasn't there a shortened one around done like the mystery machine? Last time I can remember it for definate was Stanford 2012. Don't know if its the same one or not.

yeah thats one i was thinking about, looks sooooo sweet! is it the same one though? cant help noticing that the first one has been deseemed but the second one hasnt 

[Archived2]

Its the same one.

The second picture shows the door isn't closed completely. It had suicide doors.

 

I think I prefer the earlier incarnation without the flames and TV? in the bonnet.

 

I remember this went into a ditch at one point too.

_{Interesting car and very retro :)}

[welshdan]

I remember it in its original guise, but not with the flames...was awesome!

[miniman267]

That's horrible

[Stiggytoo]

That's horrible

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks it looks TERRIBLE.

[Archived2]

I think most modded minis are marmite. I love it. Can eat it by the spoonful lol

 

But I really dont like the flames and bonnet stacks etc. The second incarnation really isnt my cup o tea
