[Fleischmann]

[BADMIHAI]

Why oh why don't I like the Mini anymore? I guess I should drive first. :mrgreen:

[fabro_s]

Love the minis, the color is great, congrats for your little car..

[mindgam3]

Yeah nice lil runner you got there. It looks in absolute mint condition! top job ;)

[68-998]

Looks much nicer than mine. Especially the engine bay!

Have you taken it out to a track or motorkhana/autocross or anything yet?

[Skyliner]

not yet.... not really any where you can do that in Denmark. Everything thats a litlle bit of fun and have something to do with cars is illegal :(
The only racing i do in my mini is the daily drive :wink:

It's a Mini Cooper 1300, with Special exaust and air filter, small engine tweaks, kevlar brake pads, quickshift, BEcker radio with CD, Sparco bucket seats, wood dashboard.. etc etc

It as 12x6 deep dish rims and Gr5 Wheel arches.

And it is a FUN to drive!!

Unfortunately... Its not mine anymore... sold it few months ago and looking forward into a Cooper Mk1, of 1960's

And, JABBA, as you can see, we could have a classics section overhere!! :)

[cooperluke]

4 minis on JW now



5, at least, I guess!

:D

[BADMIHAI]

5, at least, I guess!


Since you don't own a Mini anymore, the official number is still four. :mrgreen:

[schnell318]

I love the Mini in green with the white stripes and it appears to be in good shape to Take care of it :D

[Skyliner]

there is still five.... I have an extra! I took some spare parts from (engine and discs)

Next mod is gonna be 5x12 wheels, but most important they are offset different, so they can fill out the archers. Perhaps i'm gonna fit a set of Cobra Classic seat, there isn't really any support in the standard....

[Skyliner]

forgot to mention... Its quite a neat example you have there... How old is it? (looks like is late 80')

Is there any problems with rust in Portugal?

[Evo]

what happend to that mini.. :shock:

[s4racer]

That's a pretty clean mini. nice.

[68-998]

My mini is starting to look like crap!
Oh well, I like driving it more than I like looking at it.

I stuck a 10,000 RPM tacho in it the other day. Its great cos I can't get it over 5,000 RPM without it sounding like its about to explode!

How cool are mini's?

[T-Bird]

those are some nice mini's I wish I could find one around here but they are scarse I've heard they go really cheap second hand.

My (Ex) Mini is one of the latest carburattor Coopers. It's from 1992, and it hasn't any rust. Here in Portugal don't rains a lot, so the Minis shouldn't rust. But a Mini is always a Mini!

Hey Skyliner that is a lovely Mini. I had a 1380 years ago. Great fun!

[mindgam3]

i wouldn't put 12's on it. They may look good but they ruin the mini's famous handling....
