Has anyone seen this MINI before

I am bored at work waiting for tables to leave and was just bouncing around and came across this MINI. It's a bit on the wild end. Anyone have anythoughts on it.

I think the overall car is pretty bad but a few things I like. The eyelids are kinda cool as well as the grill. Now I'm not saying I'm gonna run out and do these mods but for a pure show mine I think they work.

Yes, that is a fellow MINIac who has been a member of Atlanta MINIs for a long time. It took a long time for him to finalize the "General Lee" MINI. He lives in Dalton, GA but I personally haven't seen him in a couple of years. He even had the orange painted the exact color of the original General Lee car!

Although I admire the amount of work that must've gone into this car all I can say is I'm glad Sir Alec isn't around to see it. YIKES

Is it a Fireball MINI?

Think I seen it at South Bay

I thought General Lee was red like the old E30 M3 not gold orangish.

I'm afraid that there is no polite way to express one's opinion on what has been wrought upon that MINI...

It's just #$*% UGLY!

That's my take on it.

After Looking closely at the photo again, maybe there is a second "General Lee" out there? The fellow I'm talking about has an Ocarci (sp?) kit on his MINI and this pic looks like a different aftermarket kit.

So, those that don't like it......there are possibly TWO of them out there? LOL

I love the color, but I also graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and that color is pretty close to our beloved Burnt Orange. For me, I would have the entire car be sparkly burnt orange with a white longhorn on top. And maybe white longhorns on the back of the side mirrors and possibly another UT sticker somewhere on the boot. Oh, and I would have the horn redone, like a fellow UT alum did, so that it would play "The Eyes of Texas" instead of a regular beep. If you're going to be obnoxious, why not go all the way, right? I like the sparkles

Wow, such hatred for candy apple orange metalflake? I guess in California we have more tolerance for the extreme customizations. Can't say I'm particularly fond of it, but it is amusing.

I don't know.. I wouldn't do that to my car but it is cool to see people go really crazy with modifying the body work I keep wavering between hey that's kind of cool(A General Lee MINI, rock) to what the ****** did he do(A General Lee MINI, ack!)?! Look at that front grille tho, I bet he has no problems keeping those radiators cool

Good or bad, either way respect to the amount of work that went into it.

It's a well done custom, but nothing I'd be caught dead driving. Next, my Charger SRT8 with union jack roof

I like those white letter tires. Those look sweet but other than that I am not impressed
