Not excluding non Coopers because as we all know they are all cool ;-)

Here's a pic of the coolest of the bunch just to inspire you

[dickhertz]

after many thousands of miles in 1 I have to vote 8) despite the prehistoric engineering

[No.1]

:good: Thumbs up all the way for the mini.

Great design, and a nice small car. Wouldn't mind having a go in one of them one day, but i think i might be a bit too tall to drive one on a daily basis :P

And it doesn't get much better than winning the Monte Carlo Rally 8)

[ARMAN]

Cool for sure, classic car with great cute looks and hemming mashine engine :P

[|Nuno|]

Definitely cool, almost sub zero.

Cannot really imagine driving mini, as I see your pic its SO tiny! :shock: Its in a really good condition as I see on the pic, no rust or anything like it :)

[Chaos in 1983!]

funky little car, has tons and tons of history...everytime I see one it makes me smile...that alone makes it subzero.

Well put a new door on it in the summer, got rid of some rust on the rear end, resprayed it and the boot, oh and repaired what turned out to be a rather large rust hole by the offside rear quarter paneland some other jobs :lol: Oh and got a new skin for the other door they all seem to rust quite badly :bah: Still some on the A panel and scuttle panel. Sadly weather/ work got in the way :bah: Rust is a pretty much a constant battle.

[ARMAN]

Nice to see/hear you keep taking care of it to keep it running and looking good :P http://www.jabbasworld.net/images/smiles/icon_good.gif

cool

A couple years ago over the summer I had a job working at a garage/gas station pumping gas. One sunday I was alone pumping gas and my boss just recently got the mini that was in the lot running again. Roaming around his desk I found the keys and kept trying to start it every hour or so.. I finally got it started and took it for a quick trip down the street!

The guy that I worked for is an amazing mechanic.. would work on everything... his garage was always littered with cars ranging from new Mercedes' to E30 M3s to classic Alfa Remeos..

The fact that I once risked my job just to drive one, I vote subzero ;)

[TT]

Misses something to access subzero level, but definitely cool!

[nthfinity]

this car has definate racing pedigree, and was fast in the day...

but that cannot recover this car from what the designers thought of when they imagined a car falling from the highest point on the ugly tree, and hitting each branch on the way down.

i would say this is close to being on the "wouldn't be cought dead in" arena... mabey tomarrow id think uncool instead. its only saving grace is its go-cart characteristics :P

[Anonymous]

no taste some people, how can you be mean to that face??

And yeh the bonnet doesn't fit properly :lol: and needs a respray, probably just replace it again, only came from a scrappy.

[chest3r]

Cool !! But not much....

It's an epic car, it looks nice, but it has too much fans around the world :P

[stmoritzer]

subzero!

[zondaland]

Cool, the Cooper alone would have been subzero. Just go and watch the original Italian Job.

[cooperluke]

orry, I'm the one, I don't think it is cool.

[antonioledesma]

[ZfrkS62]

[enzoferrari]

[sonic22]

[KJM 212K]

no power steering, heavy (for me) clutch, cramped, fragile.... but agile, tossable, fun and lovable. I WANT ONE!!!!

[Evo8]

The Real Mini is a legend. I agree, it's one of the three pillars that define subzero.
