New addition to the family.

nev_payne · 11-July-05, 04:38 PM

J-Dogg hates them, but still I'm proud to own the car I have. My brother is now the latest addition to the mini owners in the family...he recently bought a Mini 850 (yes, thats 850 CC... a 0.8l engine) for little more than Ã‚Â£450 ($900). With 3 minis all in relativly good condition (save for my bro's minor rust problems

), its just dad left to get the mini van, which is currently being searched for.

So with a total of about 150BHP between us, things are looking good

....and yes..my brother is 6ft 4" and is only 16

...he too fits in a mini

. Enjoy the pics.

Wow......a few more and you could do a remake of "The Italian Job" ...

nev_payne · 11-July-05, 04:59 PM

Well, we have the italian flag colours near enough, but yeh we need a white and a blue really....still, a convoy of 3 minis is always a great site to see. When we do get them all driving out and about, I'll get a video of us

Cool my cousin who was stationed in England actually worked on the side redoing Minis. One of his has a VTech in it. Lemme find a pic

teh_spazz · 11-July-05, 05:14 PM

Compact and less BS. Looks good.

Spectrum · 11-July-05, 05:15 PM

LS1 swap...

Mini's are cool. I could never drive one in America though. So many big ass SUV's and trucks, I'm already scared I'll end up on a grill of an Expedition in my Protege.

Spectrum - I'll find you a picture of what you mean

As far as I can tell, this is true to size....its quite unbelievable though

Dex · 11-July-05, 05:36 PM

Sweeet i love minis! I have to say Nev, they do look very impressive and smart lined up together

One of my mates has 1989 Mini-Mayfair with a 1300cc engine, bucket seats, racing harnesses, custom fibre-glass front end, custom front grill, gold alloy wheels and a custom black paintjob.

Ill get a pic for you Nev, its a great little car with plenty of work done to it

Your brothers not driving on the road is he....?

SpikeShot · 11-July-05, 06:10 PM

Man being how tall you are you are nuts! Glad you like them and all, but dam!

Digital-World · 11-July-05, 06:19 PM

We have something like these cars around here...
You pay like 6 bucks for 3 laps....
And usually race against 10 year old kids....
The throw you out for driving recklessly though. sucks....

Are a frickin midget or something????

I could wear that for one of my shoes...........

HoJo · 11-July-05, 09:46 PM

It doesn't surprise me that your brother fits in a mini. You can fit a lot into one of those things. I once saw 18 clowns get out of a car like that. And another good thing is if you run out of gas you can rub the wheels on the carpet and they will go quite a ways. J/K I know gas costs quite a bit more over there so mileage is a bigger concern than it is here, not to mention the parking situation in some cities.

j-dogg · 11-July-05, 10:00 PM

And still all three of those Minis barely equals one Ford Probe GT, and bests my LX by a whopping 10 hp!!!

Nice pickup though, I don't hate Minis, they are badass cars, I just hate yours

Jonny English · 16-July-05, 02:32 AM

Geez Nev, did your mum stretch you both on a rack or something?

Don't worry, he aint banned yet.
