That being said, I appreciate ALL comments. Even one's so "over the top."
You have to admit they would make cool toys, though. And they'd be a wee bit cheaper.

I appreciate individual taste and style. I'm just a bigger fan of an understated look. Less is more for me. I won't argue about the quality of the work though. That was a labor of love, and it shows. For that, I give you a big
.

No worries. i'm just messin' with ya. I find it interesting, all the opinions and tastes out there regarding the cars. It's important, even with what I do, that ultimately we want to sell these cars in some fashion. But I have seen some really great designs out there. Some I dig and some aren't for me. But, like you, I respect the work that went into them. And that message is important to ALL of us.
We may get into heated discussions about what's cool and what's not. The point is that we DO. That's passion.

You guys are too funny....
Rice, no Rice, Potatos, Potaaatoes. All just makes me hungry!
But seriously, (if that's even possible) I'm just glad you guys find the cars interesting. It's true, they aren't for everyone. (Maybe no one since they haven't sold yet!!) but I just think they're frikkin' cool! And I'll keep doin' 'em as long as Mini wants us to. And there's a lot coming.
I think the important thing to keep in mind when you look at these is that they are inspired themes. As in I was inspired by the films they represent. Like the BMW Art Cars, I guess. And if doing these cars helps to inspire others to whack out their Minis (More or less than these) then it's cool. Just doin' my part to take over the world, one Mini at a time.
As for rice, I'll take mine with soy sauce.

They have been relisted. Bump for people that missed looking at some very cool MINI's.
Tim they(Nam'ers) are strong on their views with MINI , thats why we are so protective about our cars and what we do to them, compaired to the Ferrari Club I think the MINI clubs care more about their own Cars.
These are one of a kind rides and would love to take those things up the Hollywood Hill into Burbank(curves ahead..lol), when i did it in a rental(chevy) ...it was not the same....man I wish i had took My MINI to Bevelry Hills and Bel Air instead of that dang rental.:(
I could see myself laying a strip on Hollywood Blvd....lol
The MINI Convertible is made for driving that crazy Blvd.
Try taking a Full size Four door Chevy...
makes you love the MINI.
Tim- again great job on the rides!

FWIW, I really like the car and wish I could afford to buy it. To me the only thing that would make it perfect is if it were a cabrio. Neo is awesome, but I like the blue better than the green.
Hopefully someone will buy them and I can see them at a meet somewhere(like the Dragon).
Another request for a poster(of Shockwave).

The only thing I don't like about rear wings is that you can't put them on a cabrio. But then again, a hard-top doesn;t have "98 million miles of head room" as they say on Top Gear. Maybe I'm a freak, but I like the look, so long as the wing looks integrated. I think the Fireball wings are a bit... EXTREME... for my tastes, but diffrn't stroke for diffrn't folks, right?
I DO like Neo's paint job... Love to see what they'd do with Hot Orange as the base color (hint hint).
Then again, what do *I* know? I corrupted a perfectly good MCS cabrio with blue LEDs.

Yeah Right! You would take one of these over your boring cooper anyday! I sure know I would. Maybe a tad over done on the vinyl parts, but still a great build. Go see them in person and you will change ur mind!
