Thank you, to be honest in a straight line drives just like a normal mini, gets a bit twitchy around corners, but saying that, i need to set up the suspension,
also because it is a lot lighter than a normal mini it is really quick of the mark

Congrats on winning there, goes to show you don't need every bit of bling going to make an impression. Can't wait to see it in person.

This build as taken 2 1/2 years, in that time i have made new friends, i've even lost a few, i've learnt loads about the car and about myself and now at the end of it all, i can safely say never again.......................

well till the next one at least.............

yesterday proved all that effort was well worth it ............... keep your eye open for a feature in Mini Magazine, oh and the for sale section
