I'm renting the TC Kline MINI

Today I rented the pepper white R56 TC Kline Mini in Santa Barbara. The car is slammed on 18's and drives and handles great. It has full custom TC Kline coilvers with camber plates and sway bars. I really do love the R56 even though I wanted to hate it. Once my R53 get out of the shop and I sell all the parts I'm going to trade it in for a Sterling Silver R56. My goal will be to have 230whp and 270wtq.

Here is the link of where I rented the Mini or you can see it in MC2 magazine

Didn't the Vantage rate last in Evo's car of the year issue? They liked the Mini better!
