The Ultimate MINI Fantasy Car

List your fantasy MINI.

I would like a MINI S designed by Fireball Tim, modified by Randy Webb that eats SUVs and pees 95 octane gas.

I thought you were talking about this sort of fantasy:

NSFW?

I would say the same as you. Something that is so hyped up that the dealer wont even look at it. Let alone touch it! I want a roaring exhaust and screaming intake.

I have to say it would be this:

It's not a MINI, but it is my fantasy car.

Good answer. I would add something on top of that that most here would definately flame me for. I would like mine "pimped" by South Coast Customs or a like shop. I'm talking chrome 19's, lambo doors, and an even more rediculous audio/video setup. Flame on.

So a combination of the Alpine Show MINI with a Gas Turbine engine and is AWD would be a good start.

I'm half way there I think. Just need the lambo doors, trade my 19's in for chrome, and ad some more monitors. Hmmm...Maybe one day when I get bored and find some money on the ground.

I just want a smaller MINI. I think that would be perfect, a 200whp, 2200lb miniature MINI.

Let's see... I'll take the retractable paint guns, Klingon cloaking device, rear facing lazer, anti-gravity levitation generator, Bose anti-noise technology wired to external speakers (to drown out the crap music in the next lane). I think that is all I want.

Quicker off the line. Otherwise, it's already perfect.

Just went for a drive and thought of some more important features. It would need to be fitted with an arsenal of James Bond style weapons to appease my road rage. Not so violent though, more like Nerf darts and missles, tennis *****, suction cup arrows, stink bombs, smoke bombs, and maybe paint ***** for the real jerks. I've always wanted a Bond-style car, but who hasnt?

I'd like to have a Chip Foose-designed and built MINI....I'd love to see what he would do with one, and what kind of powerplant he'd shoehorn into it.

Its small, but sometimes I wish the rear window would roll down

Dude, there's a fellow here at the Dragon from St. Louis (who we fondly call GBling) running on 20-inch chromes.

Isn't that the one with the M3 engine up front?

I was thinking something simmilar, but I would put the engine North South behind the driver and navagator seats. Think of a MINI version of the Renault R5 turbo!

Or the Paul Huffaker Mini from the SCCA run offs. Another RWD Mini!
