The Mini at the top of this page is "stanced".


Yes, but WHY?!

What makes a mini stanced? Not just an example?

Personally, I'd say the pick-up is stanced... that's my opinion. This is because it is low, sleek and pretty cute looking.

not stanced.

Are you mad?!

That's about as low as a mini can go, and be driven .

And it's beautiful, so stop complaining. If you want a 'dub' looking car, go over to the dub forums.


Like it was said in this thread previously, just because a car is low does not make it stanced. Go back and look at the flush and hellaflush picture, that pickup is neither of those. Personally, I hate it when tires/wheels stick outside the arches without flairs covering them.


mate go to the vdub forums,
this car is beautiful, stop complaining


I wasn't complaining, and I used to be into vw's... I don't see how that has anything to do with what is here though.

Low and sleek have nothing to do with it. Low and perfect wheel / tire setup to the body of the car have everything to do with that. I am not saying that the pickup isn't nice, I am just saying it isn't stanced.

Meh, i respect your opinion, but I think the wheels are perfect on the pick-up... that's how I (emphasis on the 'I') like it.

the grill is to make room for the vtec yo!

It's a funny lookin' 1964 Mini! Typical yanks, don't know what they're lookin at.

1. It's not a 64
2. It's not a Cooper. It may have been, but it sure as hell isn't now.
3. It's :X
4. It's a waste of $80,000

You have to remember only 10,000 minis were ship the the U.S. from 1960 to 1967. Otheriwse they had to be imported either from Canada or Japan and most of the time, there were no records or very incacurate paperwork and the DMV would tag the date incorrectly. So it's very likely it at one time was a 64.

I'm not sure what your "Typical Yanks" comment is supposed to imply, because there are just as many uneducated people throughout the world about Minis. I'm sure your not an expert on American cars as i'm no export about foreign cars not sold here.

After all the bitching, i'm beginning to hate the 'stanced' thing!


Totally agree, this is getting a bit silly now!

Are people not allowed to have their own tastes and opinions now?
