My Mini
 

EDITED

How Cute :)

mini's rule.. I spent many miles with a mini and its one of the most fun cars you can drive especially on backroads :twisted:

Hehe, this IS a Mini :D the new one is sure nice and fun to drive, but the real Mini is only this one :D

Congrats :D

Nice!
^^ Yeah the new mini aint exactly 'mini' in any friggin way imaginable! My mates got one, its as big as my friggin focus!!! But then u get inside and there's no room!! Its like the reverse of the tardis!

Sweet little mini, nice ride man, its really special to own a car like an old mini,
but you can tune them, I once saw a green one, with huge exhaust pipes, like the Lambo Murcy, the sound from such a little car.... WOW
It almost looked like a racing Mini, lowered and etc,...

Yeah, they do sound good when tuned up, the racing mini miglias are pretty rapid! They barely brake for the corners, just flat everywhere!! lol

nice classic u got there.the mini is indeed one of the few cars u can build up speed in and keep that speed in pretty much all the corners,lol

i love minis old and new
my dream is to have both one day
nice mini

Sweet car!
I love the old Mini's, shame they are pretty expensive here!

sweey mini!
o havent seen pics b4
and hows the clutch doing?no probs?

Awesome car dude! Ive always wanted an original Mini but there arent so many around here so they can get kind of pricey. One day though, I will have one. Looks like its in fantastic condition too. Sweet little ride you got there. :D

Sweet ride mate. I love the old Minis. Are you planning on doing any performance mods?

I think there's an episode of RIDES in speed channel about customizing cars. One section of it shows 2 HUGE black guys squeezing into a mini.

That's almost like Krusty and his clown crew (forgot how many) coming out from the mini in one simpsons episode.


Anyways....that's what ur car reminds me AL123. Great car, with a long history.

Lovely , that is a car to have

Great car... :D

Mini's are awesome. Great fun. The orginal go-cart ;)

Learned to drive in one :)

It managed to get back from derby to my home in dorset (about 200 miles) No probs as of yet but i better not speak too soon i'm going back to uni on sunday!! :)

Anyway thanks for everyones nice comments

Great car!

The original Mini was for both my mum and dad their first car and for years we had several as a second car for my mum. They're such fun! :D

Nice car! I bet the angel eyes will scare little kids at night...

BMW angel eyes nice

Omg you do rally with this ?

Love the angel eyes.

No i wouldn't want to hurt my baby!! :D i'm trying to get it in pretty much perfect condition, if i ever was going to do any sort of motorsport i would buy an old race/ rally car as they are worth significantly less to most people once they have been raced/ abused mine only has 35,000 miles on the clock and i want to keep it in good condition for the long motorway journeys between uni and home :D

nice car, it has a certain charisma that the new one lacks.

Spot on you clearly understand what Minis are really about Thanks :D 8)

wheels dont fit too small? maybe 2in bigger? or not plastic?

They fit trust me or it wouldn't drive or steer!!! :lol: :P
Don't really understand what your asking the wheels are standard 12 inch size, if you fit 13 inch ones to my car you have to reprofile the arches and as for 14 inch they are even more difficult to fit. BTW the earlier minis had 10 inch wheels!!

Though alloys are next on my list i'm gonna keep them the same size for ease of fitment

hehe. I used to love Minis. I still like them, but I don't love them anymore. Yours is very clean indeed. Nice job with the tasteful mods!

U gotta whack some minnilights on there, they arnt to expensive either i dont think.
Cant you put the cooper arches on it and wit the bigger rims that way?

I'm gonna get some minilite alloys probably this summer they're about £300 including tyres so not to bad. The problem is with bigger wheel/ tyre combos are that they tend to rub on hard lock meaning you need to take material off or just remember not to turn to full lock :lol: Also 13+ inch wheels tend to screw up the handling if not set up properly and you should really uprate the suspension to cope with the extra weight. At this point its all getting a bit expensive and time consuming so i decided to stay with the same size wheels and maybe lower the car to improve the looks. Though i don't want to make the ride any harsher than it is currently!! :lol:

Yeah, not exactly a 'refined' ride as they are!! lol, especially when uve got 4 up!
