Awww damn it new mission on the cards!!!!!!

So instead of owning a GP to go along side Max the Grand Prix how about this along side Spike



Ive been sat on google for an hour now and cant one for sale ANYWHERE IN EUROPE!!!!!!!

It seems 200 Monte Carlo MINI editions made available to European buyers......I've never actually seen one in the UK so presume only LHD versions were sold?

MINI Releases Monte Carlo Edition in Europe:
"MINI will build 200 units of the Monte-Carlo and will be available only in Europe. Each one wears its number on the front wings/fenders and on the steering wheel. As a special finishing touch, MINI got Rauno Aaltonen, the Finnish pilot that drove the Mini Coopers to victory in the 1960s, to sign each edition."

Yeah very

Havent seen one for sale in the UK for ooooerrrrr nearly 3 years, and there's only 18 accounted for

Still trying to find a BMW Monte-Carlo for sale ANYWHEREEEEEEEEEE!!!

I know there was one for sale in the south of the UK at the moment/recent past. A guy from that website I told you about pointed me in the right direction, but the woman selling hasn't got back to me yet, I think the guy passed on my details.

Also, talking of brochures, I managed to seek out a Cooper brochure that I was looking for about a month ago, although it is for all models of the year, not just the Cooper. I wanted the Cooper one but couldn't get back on ebay in time to bid for it.

I also managed to get a Monte Carlo one I think it was.

These 2 are perfect in my opinion. Nicely lowered to the point where they are still useful as a daily, and with a great wheel choice. The Rota's on that 2nd Mini suit it to a tee. Some people in the scene need to know that the right wheel choice can make or break a cars overall look. See a lot of cars that IMO are ruined through the wrong wheel choices
