Given that its got the crappy Chrysler engine in it.....forecourt attendant might be a better option  ;D


Strange I thought Minis all came with the A series?

yep, the real ones did ;D


sadly  ;D


Why didn't they use the K?

To long with the over head cam(s)


Makes sense :y

Did you get fitted with concrete wellies at birth to keep you rooted in a previous generation?

You are an ex time lord, are you not?

If so, I claim my five pounds sterling.....   ;D


No - this is a Mini - commonly found with A series and driving in Turins sewers


Erm.. Martin.. Those are BMW Minis ;D

Was going to say - BMW did a great job, then. Very close to the original.. hang on! Why did the original Mini have a scoop on the bonnet for the intercooler?  :D

How about this.. A series block, BMW K1 motorcycle head, fuel injection and throttle bodies, in an original Mini shell.

A nice idea. I've heard about those conversions. What's wrong with the BMW block that normally goes with the head, though? :-/

Not driven the most recent facelift one, but previous one wasn't that great for handling. Bloody awful seat as well - 20mins is about my limit in them

Handles fantastic barring the Tyres, and the seats are superb, been out since 9 this morning, with a couple of coffee breaks all's well in the back :)
Glad it works for you :y, but then you are quite strange :P
