Ok... I'll ask the burning questions...

1. Is the car still street licensed/legal? Doesn't look like it shouldn't be, but one has to ask...

2. Do you have any dyno numbers for it?

3. I can't find a model year in the ad description (not that it matters much).

4. What was done to the transmission?

Thanks and good luck! Looks like a neat car.

no worries, im glad you asked, i forgot some things. Is is street legal as long as you dont need to pass emissions, I live in Sandovol county where they do not require me to, there for i can drive it on the streets.

You can post the link now..

You posted it here, gave it a shot and it didn't sell. Now the link can be added. What we don't want is folks just posting links to ebay stuff without giving the MINI community a shot at it first.

I can't afford it as I'm an old fart on a lowly (i.e. non TV evangelist) minister's salary. But I cannot even begin to imagine why it didn't sell instantly on NAM. These kind of things are why I wish God had made me a little bit richer. Oh well ... someone is going to be happy!

Just out of curiosity, does the buyer get to keep the Mini Mania paint job on it, or are you going to paint over that?

OK! OK! So it's no longer under warranty. Still ... somebody out there in NAMdom must want this thing. The car is free, you just have to pay for the mods!

P.S. I get nothing for bumping this. I just love this car and want to see somebody who really loves MINI's get it.

Surprised the bidding on eBay didn't get into a respectable zone for this car. If I didn't already have a track car, I'd be all over this one.

I'm sorry you didn't seen more action on it. I tried bidding it up some in the early goings, just to get it up more towards where it belonged. As you might be able to tell from my signature, I'm not really in the line of work where I can afford either the time or the money to buy it. But I do enjoy dreaming ... which is why I've been interested in seeing how it was going to go. May God bless you as you seek just the right buyer for your baby.

Revray, you never what may happen, especially when those things called miracles occur. Maybe I'll see you on the track driving this car. If so, I'll be looking at your tailpipes, no doubt!

RevRay. Please play the lotto.(Where such a miracle is needed) You deserve to own this car! I think you would be the perfect owner. Just my 2 cents.

no leaks as of now...and there are no windows with the carbon fiber doors, however there are windows in the original doors that come with it, and if the new owner really wants to be able to drive it on the street as well, the doors can prob. be an easy ad on.
