This is mine, it's a bit bland compared to some of yours, but I love it.
His name is Basil, after John Cleese's character from Fawlty Towers. Since my name is Manuel, the car is british, and Basil owned Manuel it seemd logical to me .

Basil is a '91 cooper with a stage 1 kit, koni sport shocks, and a few tiny bits and bobs.

(we had an accident with 6 fence posts and a 40ft drop last october) so while thats been done, she has gained green tint glass all round, new angel eye headlights, boy they are bright!, new seats, and just new everything including the cooper S engine to go with her curent cooper S brakes!!! and lots of new shiny bits!!! Cant wait!

Not actually driving yet as I am only 16 so have to make do with a moped, although I will hopefully be buying a 1992 Mini Mayfair 998 off of my unlce, needs ALOT of work, will upload some pictures when I next go see it... It has O.S.F. damage, which has not, luckily, shifted the subframe or anything so just going to fit carbon fibre flip front. Has A 1275 unit in it at the minute which is blown from the other mini around my uncles, so will be swapping it back to the original 998 unit once it has bee painted and 'tarted' up! Also may be taking out the back seats for space for some speakers and ofcourse a RC40 exhaust for optimum exhaust flow without loosing the back pressure needed for the engine.
All in all it is a possible project, so wish me luck people!

I've got a Mini 25. An exact replica of my first car that i foolishly sold 12 years ago. It's at the local garage at the moment having an MOT retest (failed last week on a wheel bearing). It's in pretty good condition, has had new front wings and valance, some of the missing trim has been purchased, and it's going for a full respray next week. The previous owner had it sprayed, and it is a monumentally dreadful job. Will post some pics when it's all done.

I have owned her since Sept '02 and she's changed quite a bit in that time! An engine make-over is next on the to-do list...
