50th Anniversary Mini Concept

[Davey_Dee]

I've been brutally forced to post this thread!

My GF has jabbed me in the ribs many times to make me post this so i'm very sorry for all the sore eyes yet to come

Lets just say she only wants one because i said it has a V12 and does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds...women...


Anyway! http://www.toxel.com/tech/2009/08/26...coupe-concept/ i guess its better than any other mini but still...not for me.

R8 Forum?

People post about all different kinds of things on the general discussion. I've seen plenty of threads about ferrari's, they aren't R8's.

That Mini is the best looking one so far, I HATE Minis. But any car with the british flag painted on it , like Austin Powers' is just the cats' MEOWW!!

I was never a huge fan of the Mini, original or recreation, but they've got a rich racing history, trained many later big time racers and were designed by one of the automotive geniuses of all time (Alec Issigonis)

If you're at all interested in the REAL Mini and what they did, check out:

And for those of you lucky enough to be in England, or able to get there, in about 3 weeks: DON'T MISS THIS (Minis PLUS a tribute to Sir Stirling himself!)

AMAZING that Moss is "known" to have raced 96 different (designs of) cars in his years on the track and there'll be 80 cars that Moss raced (!!!) ON the track at Goodwood this year!. THAT will be an event NOT TO BE MISSED by ANY motorhead!! (however, it's just about when my R8 arrives 5000 mi. away )
