This post reminds me that this thread started quite a while ago, and with 300-odd posts, there's been about 60 Minis posted. About half of them are in the remarkable class, so 30. Over 1 million new Minis have been sold, so the really cool ones represent 0.00003 or 0.003%. Of them, about half are shaved or blacked out. I'd therefore argue that stripped Minis are a pretty rate breed, rather than "everyone seems to be getting them."

OK, I went through all 300+ posts and here's my *definitive* list (in order of being posted, but no other particular order):

1. MISFITOY Sid's masterpiece, with the ultimate in attention to detail, which has spawned more PS cars than are countable.
2. BahamaBart a bit fruity for my liking, but full of lovely innovations
3. Alpha Motoring one of only 2 PW cars with real class, and love those 18s
4. Coen de K First it was the Cabrio--darn that's nice and now his new R56
5. Lohen Mini One (it's justa Cooper)
6. Tuls The King is dead, long live the King
7. UKSUV Mix CF with chrome and it looks pretty good...
8. Gnatster can you say custom?
9. John Monk's The Beast the other PW class act
10. Dopamine I mean mean (in a sea of all black Minis, it stands out)
11. Kelli's Mini there aren't too many red minis that look good, but this one is great
12. shooler's OBSSSD the only EB/EB car that really stands out, all the others look like pansies
13. Samtrak this car defined a whole generation
14. Konky has Euro in his blood, and oil, and brake fluid...
15. Rally MC rules, defined
16. Kalbone defines the term "slammed on 18s" and then just keep looking...
17. Longboard He actually has some chrome, but he also has 300 HP!
18. BTT the other really sweet Cabrio
19. and my dose of Lithium, as it just looks bad ***, custom and driven

So there's nearly 20.
Feel free to name the rest that belong in that class!

I think the best part of this thread is that it shows that it really doesnt take much to make a MINI look amazing and unique. A few small things on the exterior can really set these cars apart, and take them to the next level

This was actually the MINI that inspired me to buy one. Until today, I have not seen any MINI (online or offline) that is as nice as this one. If you want a definition of a MINI go-kart, this is it!!

Rally, do you know what the Flik model was a knock off of? it's sort of a PIAA look, but....
