Those are pretty darn cool.

I guess these are for the enthusiasts who "have everything." You could alternatively make some pretty significant mods to your MINI for 2500 quid.

Check out what my son found! Again, if money were no object. I don't think I could turn it into a desk. Having a color matched pair would be way too much fun!

Great looking car but very short on details? Depending on options and rust could be a great price

It's be nice if the poster provided a bit more data...not even sure what year it was manufactured. I wonder if he's used it in competition? It has the big engine with some serious performance mods. It would sure be a lot of fun!

We'll have to keep a sharp eye out for this baby at Winona in June. I'll bet he shows if he hasn't sold it yet. I suppose if it sells the new buyer might bring it there too!

Agree that the color would be perfect for a certain Holy Cross garage.

Hello Everyone,
Spring is almost here! The 2009 schedule for the local SCCA racing is out. [URL="http://www.sccagrr.com/calendar/index.htm"] They set up race tracks with traffic cones on parking lots in various places and time your runs. I did it several times last year and it's a blast. The Mini's are made for it. Give it a try. See ya there!

Hey gang, I'm killing time in the Motorwerks MINI lounge whilst SHADOWFAX is getting a check-up and fresh oil, coolant, and brake fluid for the upcoming motoring season.

I figured I'd stick one last comment in here prior to sending this thread into dormancy tomorrow morning, when wintertime becomes past tense.

It will be fun to see who posts the very last winter note. I might just stay up long enough to be the winner.
