is it just me or is simon cowell and total and utter complete t w a t

 

I wouldn't get more  than 2 seconds in if I tried

 

not particularly offended by the idea of electric minis though, overall weight might be an issue but then that's hardly new is it when people are putting silly big engines in them lol

The colour scheme, alloy wheels and 'Turbo' were apparently inspired by the James Bond Lotus.

is that the one that had the trick of dumping oil all over the road (i thought it was white though?)

 

Q didn't even need to do any work for that one it was factory standard IIRC

You are being too nice although my words would get me a reprimand.

He likes a lotus and buys a mini... yip similar aerodynamics mate...

As for the turbo sticker...

If painting brake calipers gives you 5bhp more this sticker must be at least 6bhp extra.....

It is mini shaped and the body could probably go back to dripping millers finest oils so on that side it is alright..

Not so sure about the electric bit....

Like buying a chocolate bar and wanting a sausage roll..

I love the interior but would be 100% better with a 1380 engine not something that runs on duracells or the equivalent!
