Wow, a lot of nice Mini's on here. I'll have mine paid off in about a month, maybe sooner. I bought a set of 13's before I was able to really appreciate the 10 inch wheels. Mamba's are my favorite. I love the Rally look, the Roof rack just says Roadtrip all over it.
I have my early one which I am trying to get rid of the shell... It is full original main floor and I replaced the boot floor
I have the mk2 wagon that I am hoping to transform into a replica of a pickup out of repro pup panels. Working on finishing the floor to put in it currently.
I have my mk4 van, which I am going to steal it's load floor from to put in the previous car.. and put the estate load floor into the van so it has more sensible storage of things like the spare tire.
And finally I have my newest one which is likely not got long to live as I repair it's floor and then remove it the bulkhead and the front and put it on the van... it only cost $275ish so not a big loss, there are lots of mk4 shells out there.
Haha, thank you. Apparently several other people had the same idea, as three separate variations were already taken before I managed to come up with this one.
Just joined, but I've had my mini for a little over a year now. It's still a work in progress and is taken apart now, but below is a picture of it at our last autocross at WGI...
How do you like the 048Rs? I thought about getting them since I drive my car somewhat regularly and take it to the track a few times a year. That would be a good compromise to a 2nd set of wheels with slicks.

I really like these tires. They offer more than enough grip for street use but are also excellent for competition use. I would say these tires would probably last for a decent length of time given what they are if they didn't see that much track time and street abuse. This would be a good substitute for a wheel swap, and I believe GB Carparts stock them here in the states (Florida). For me, they won't last long as there are 3 people autocrossing my mini and two that drive it frequently on the street.
The caption on this one should read: With this motor I can take the 30 MPH curves at 50 but if my dad catches me driving like that he'll take it away from me.
Purchased her this year out of Canada and it was an eye-opening experience as to the shady side of buying and selling classic minis. Buyer beware for anyone getting into these cars for the first time. Here's mine and going under some renovations soon.
