Sweet ride.

I love that exhaust
\

Love the blue rings




nd the horn should beeep
"Cars Man"
or "Fireball ...yo"

This would complete the package.
By far Very Nice MINI someone will get.

Wow. I would venture a guess that the planned run of a 100 FBR Minis won't materialize.

They like them, hence the dealerships are selling them.

I thought someone bought "Shockwave" from South Bay MINI about a month ago.

You mean trying to sell them. They've set at the South Bay Mini. Now they are on eBay. I hope they find a buyer, even if it's not to my taste.

Wow. I think that's the first time I've seen a car and literally said "holy sh**" out loud. That green one is freakin hot.

Give me a break. Most people wouldn't be caught dead in something that tacky. That paint is just way over the top. It almost looks like an advertisement for something very loud and stidently stupid.

I went to the link and South Bay Lotus in Hermosa Beach is the seller, not South Bay MINI in Torrance. Wonder whether the two dealerships are related? Interesting vehicle...not my style, but I admire the attention to detail.

Pretty cool car, but not my style. I dare say it's a bit overpriced as well.

Both Shockwave and Neo look great in person. Two more FBT cars are being launched on Nov 25th.

Those two cars, look like riced out hondas, and I dont like em. The wing is so ugly, and looks like a park bench. The decals are very gaudy. The ehxaust looks deformed, Unique, youll never see anotherone like it, but Id never drive it.

I hope someone disagrees with me, and buys it for a hefty price and benefits tims charaties.

With all those graphics and big wing that must add 50hp. I am not a fan of the RICE look.
