MissQueen In reply to CoupeKid [2007-04-07 17:56:26 +0000 UTC]

Yes indeed. I really want one of them. but I want one of the older version you know, instead the newer ones. I had a dream once that in the summer my and my friends where fixing up an old mini cooper. It was a nice dream

crhino In reply to CoupeKid [2007-04-08 00:21:27 +0000 UTC]

Yep, cool. I loved my one's, loads of fun driving them. The only downside to them was long motorway drives, with those small wheels. All that steering, just to keep them in a straight line, lol.

WhitePaws1 [2007-04-06 22:01:05 +0000 UTC]

Excellent mate, love it haha, im a real sucker for minis, ive wanted one for a good while, but alas... i still don't have one. My step dad used to have a cooper back when he lived in the UK, loved it to bits!

I drove a new cooper a few weeks ago, the go alright... i didn't like the auto gearbox at all though, yet to try one in manual xP...

I love the angle you've taken this at, and you've captured it at a really great time, because the lighting to me looks perfect! Great work

Great shot! I love minis. My first car was a Mini 1000 which lasted about a year before I crashed it into a lamp post! Poor car. I then bought another Mini 1000 which I completely stripped down to the bear metal, resprayed BRG and rebuilt. I replaced the gearbox and cylinder head as they were shot and did some mild tuning. Took me all summer to do it but it was great fun and a real learning experience for me. I think it was on the road for less than 6 months before I rolled it and totalled it. Shame. But they were happy days!

CoupeKid In reply to nitsch [2007-04-06 19:01:09 +0000 UTC]

Yep! Same here, I have a Mini 1100 Traveller! a great little car it was.
I put some big rally spotlights on it a square number plate (trust me, it was the 'in' thing back then) and some tein tone flail airhorns (ridiculously loud!) that sadly was the extent of my tuning. It did go very well though, it had ninety on the clock and with three other mates in it, I took it clear off the clock (obviously I was on a private road...ahem )

Thats a really bummer about rolling yours, have you ever considered getting another one, I certainly have, claw back some teenage memories! hehe!

nitsch In reply to CoupeKid [2007-04-07 21:06:55 +0000 UTC]

Hehe! I remember doing that too, if I remember correctly the speedo only read to 90mph right? Good times!

I'd love to get another Mini, I've always wanted a mini pickup to do up. One day maybe.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CoupeKid In reply to nitsch [2007-04-07 21:13:40 +0000 UTC]

yep, you got it. 90 on the clock, but the Clubman with the square front, didnt have the big round central speedo, it had a normal style cluster behind the steering wheel.

I really do fancy an old mini. I have always loved the pickups as well. Funnily enough, my cousin, who used to run a limo firm (he had Jaguars, Bentlys, Rolls etc etc) used to always drive a mini pick up, he loved it, and prefered it to all the big flash cars he had! Great days!

What do you think of the new Minis?

yep, they were indeed, I took a look at this as a photo possibility from a few angles, and some how it would have worked, this was the best angle I could get.

Cheers!
