you need a 1.4 Astra Mk2 3door

No rev limiter, really silly revs avaialable on a carb, and very aerodynamic!

Awesome looking mini. And it's obvious Fox has never driven one. They aren't about power. This mini would make mincemeat of his mondeo round a racetrack.

Any more pics of it?

[Fox]

I dont think 5lab was talking about a 600brake AMG tuned beast... just a regular big fat merc

He said a Merc with 3 times the power of a 200bhp VXT.

How many 'regular big fat mercs' have 600bhp?

[Konan555]

FWIW the uber huge barge tank that is the S65 AMG weighs over 2 tonnes but does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and thats with an automatic box! Even the normal 500bhp S55 is 4.6 seconds.

IMHO Power to weight = almost everything..

Erm - you're mixing 0-60 times and peak power/weight up now.

its been eyed up. may take a robin - figured the single fornt wheel would protect the sump, and its 66% wheel drive - better than 50%

How come its ok for people to slate Mondeo's but I can't laugh at 63bhp? 700kg, wow thats like 125bhp in a car weighing 1400kg.

have you ever been in a mini?

see how it feels bumbling along down a road at 50mph>

mondeo's are rubbish family cars, nobodys likes them, they have no street credit, and who cares?

Of course I have, where do you think all my hatred comes from?

Nah, actually they are very good cars, they just happen to be made by Ford, and have a lousy image.

I also have to say this because my Dad has one

[unrealrocks]

Heh, its a cool car - sounds nicer outside than inside ... when I'm back will have to get some sound samples, that thing sounds mental at 7000rpm

Only issue its got is you have to push the choke in with your foot due to the harnesses

[Howard]

I was gonna say... Neither of us could reach the choke

[AlexB]

Mine doesnt even have a choke - i'm too cheap to pay for the cable!

[rob3]

Alright for some, mine wont start without the choke, not a chance in ****. Otherwise i would do

[Moby-Dick]

I remeber the clothes peg on the choke to keep it out for the first few miles
