Hi guys. I'm Jim from Athens, Georgia, USA. I've been researching Minis, and found your site. Y'all have a lot of great information on Minis, and it seems as though y'all know how to have a good time. I've been researching the Hyabusa Mini conversion and have read several good threads on the subject. I don't have a Mini yet, buy I do have several P'sOS in the garage. Here's my current junk:
1966 Shelby GT350R clone
1968 Camaro RS/SS convertible
1969 Z/28 clone
1970 Challenger T/A
1972 455HO Trans AM
As you can see I like small block Trans Am cars. The Mini will be my first foray in the world of the "micro" block. I envy you guys that live across the pond and have Minis coming out your ears!

Jim

Hello and Welcome to the site! You have some really nice cars there which are slightly more powerful than a few standard Minis put together!

Thanks for the welcome guys! The old pony cars are great rides. I can't wait to get into a Mini build. I have to make up my mind between a Vtec build and the Hyabusa. I just learned yesterday that a shop nearby builds Vtec Minis. It looks like a field trip is going to be on my agenda. Has anyone ever built a Hugger Orange Mini? :-



by the way, the orange car is not mine. My junk is yellow:

Got any more pics of the white car!? Looks fantastic! Haybusa Minis are the best in my opinion. V-Tecs are still good though. Just check this out! !!!V-Tec Beating Ferrari!!!This was at Knockhill racing cicuit in good old Scotland!
