- Hartge Union jack wheels
- Jcw springs
- Bilstein B6

Great looking Mini!
Hi Fred,

It's a very good looking car. Good for you! Are the police on Reunion um, "flexible" to allow a nice Mini to be driven properly?

If it's not too noisy and smocky (for the gasolines car) there is some tolerance but, the biggest problem, it's if you have an accidend with a mod car, the insurances are less compréensives!!!

Thank you Ben

You're right, there are plenty of small mountain roads, with many bumps and corners; if you want, every days are rallyes's specials !!!!
