You guys have seen the purple one before....
These two MINIs were used to tow the StreetGlow Solaras, one of which had the fastest time of the day. Can you say quarter mile in 6.996 seconds...ALL MOTOR.
Me and the purple MINI that you all have seen before....

Purple MINI interior....

Blue OPTX MINI.....

Custom fiberglass dash in the blue MINI....

What that blue MINI was packin' in the back!


These cars got TONS of attention!

Love those 17" R90's also!

At the Fontana Grand-Am Cup race, the lone MCS racer was also very popular with the fans. Face it world, MINIs ROCK!

That's one, no I mean two, mean paint jobs. In another thread here on MCO, that purple car caught a lot of flak from MINI owners. I think it rocks!

I like it, too. It was really neat up close...but actually it's not a paint job. I think it's a really big decal that takes up the whole car. At least that is what it felt like.

I like the painted wheel arches as well.

I think it should be a factory option.

0_MINI,

I believe those are Konig Imagine wheels and not R90's. They look chrome, not alloy. An easy mistake seeing as how you're distracted.

See ya,
