Okay, so I'm not an anything purist. This is really HOT! I wish I had one.

Doesn't Uncle John have that plate?

That's a wild custom. The rear spoiler is in the wrong place.

Can you actually still classify that as a Mini? Doesn't seem like very much stock still left.

I'm not sure anybody said it was, but that was my reaction, too.

Our local "Jeffracer" has that plate with a frame (mounted upside down) that says "if you can read this please flip me over".

I would not have gone so far on the flares, but a really nice looking Mini anyways. Nice work.

That's not worse in my eyes. It's a race car after all.

Worse??? That's probably the KAD 16v Twincam setup under the hood running twin DCOE Webers. If you can afford the engine you can afford the yearly gearbox replacement.
