It's rather nice, only problem is the bonnent needs realigned, I think the guy took it off to fit the stage 1 kit. Also the fog lights don't work but I'm sure that'll be something cheap to sort.
It's a bit slower than my old one, I don't know whether thats because its got the LCB manifold/cone filter type of stage 1 or whether it's because its running a little lean.
nice one mate. is it a 998cc? i wouldn't mind a mini at all, great little cars, lots of character and a great laugh to drive.
Very smart :) I like that. Old style number plates too? What year is it.
Wow, i smell an "Italian Job" replica!
Beauty of car, much better than the new BMW inspired sheds :P
It's 1985, so technically the plates aren't legal but the police don't seem to take any notice of it.
It was a 998cc City E originally, but its been done up like a Cooper for the shows, apparently its been in the mags a few times too but I still havent checked that out yet but he said insure itfor 2k.. It's not as much fun as my old one, thats mostly because it has a normal sized steering wheel though :)
Nice one mate, proud mini cooper owner myself, just cant get enough of the little blighters, so much fun to drive.
swap the steering wheel over then :)
That looks awesome!
I have never driven a mini yet, but would love to take one for a spin!
Nice one mate!
Love the MG Metro seats too - theyre qualiteee i got mine from the scrappy for peanuts :D
Butuz
I *sometimes* miss my Mini :)
clubman estate with a 1340 lump in it :)
an absolute scream up to 50 in the twisties :)
I would love a clubby estate, although a pickup would be better :)Quote:

Will you be taking it to any of the shows this year?
Alas not, It died circa 1999 ( kerb and subframe had an arguement, kerb won :( )
I would love a 1340 :D
I'm gonna get a 13" steering wheel for this one - the 12" was a bit small for me, I really need to sort out a cooper freeflow manifold for it too. I cant believe how good disc brakes are lol!
And yeah I'll be at some of the shoes this year :)
Shoes? Shows lol.
Thanks for all the nice comments, it almost makes me forget the big hole in my pocket :)
