I just wanted to show off my pictures, and make everyone aware of the other "little" cars. Micro cars, as they are called, are very popular these days, especially with the new Mini coming out. If your interested in learning about these little cars, head on over to: Microcars Yahoo Group

The pictures below are of MY Mini Copper '02, and My unrestored 1959 Vespa 400. The Vespa's for sale, so, let me know if ya like it. THanks!

wow the vespa is cool

i was looking for a 1963ish mini. my dad had one and learned to drive in one. so i wanted to get one and surprise him and make it a project.

but everywhere i see them and call them, the 1963 minis are like 11K

i was thinking of spending a few hundred bucks for one ...

 

Danny,

Are those SFS hoses the colored silicone ones we've seen advertised? If so how do you like them? How was the install? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, the blue color SFS hoses (I have blue magnecor spark wires, and random blue hoses, so, went with the theme). The top two hoses we easier then the bottom hose (reach under the grill, notice the plate?). The clamp's were very hard to force off, but eventually they gave. You MUST buy extra clamps, as the one's on there were ment to be permanent. It's a nice look, and are def worth it. Hope this helps!
