Well Done Allan, this has to be one of the quickest builds I have seen on here, I guess it made a bit easier with it being a pure racer but never the less that really was a quick turn around......

Cant wait to see more vids.

[ZAMinibusa]

yeah even i have to say that this was a very fast build compared to most of the others i have read on this forum

[AllanMcD]

Its now ready to race

Wow you've been busy! great work. Looks simple but effective the way a race mini should.
Nice 1! Get some more vids and pics of it up definatly!

[PhotoguyUSA]

[AllanMcD]

Well Done on completing it.

Patriotic to the end with the Saltire sitting proud on the roof. Problem for us English if we did it with the St Georges Cross we would get called Chav, although I think with it on a mini it is about the only car we could get away with it ( I personally wouldnt but then thats just my opinion).

I digress, well done and look forward to more vid's. How about a load more photos of the car to give others inspiration?

[snooopy]

yeah can we have some more pics of this beast!!!!!!

I have just uploaded a couple of videos from Kames this weekend.
One Wet , One Dry
The Car is very fast and it goes where I point it Very Happy I was geting quicker every time I went out learning a new track and a new car took a few runs to get the hang of.
I have never had rear wheel drive before exept a trany van Shocked or motorbike.

In The Wet

In The Dry

[HickeyCM]

how much did you spend in the end??
as i am thinking of turning my mini into a similar beast (hopefully)!!
thanks Conor

[AllanMcD]

I spent around £14000.
I got a set of 8" x 13" wheels they are a bit big so I had to lob the arches off


Heres the first atempt to put them back on.
I wont be using the tyres in the pic but a similar size.
