Bizzerkley.

'05 JCW everything. Now with front brake cooling ducts from John Cooper Motorsports, imported at great cost from the UK! Imagine black flared duct openings where the fog lights are now. As seen on the Newfie Targa car.

Note: Under heavy braking while turning (trail braking) the MINI will lift the inside rear wheel just like a Bunny. Under acceleration while turning (slow in, fast out) it looks more like this:



WOOOO!

Hi Rossii !
Yes, I bought Hamanns car for a very good deal. I'm lucky that I didn't have to do anything interms of mods, except for Cams and I plan to install Turbo in the future. Hamann is from NORCAL though... It was a pain to him selling his MINI to me, but he bought a Twin Turbo 993 the next day. Hope to see you around.

Oh I thought he was from Socal. Regardless that is a SWEET car
Maybe you should come out on one of the 'Nikki Runs'.
