I never heard it running. I think he brought it on a trailer. This might explain why there are no cooling problems. Short trips.      Mini Estate

Looks aside... I don't know how this thing performs mechanically. Just the cooling alone scares me. I can't see this thing ever running cool with a tiny grille and essentially an airdam for a bumper cover. And judging from the interior detailing, I can't believe that the body detailing is anything I would enjoy owning.

Just one guy's opinion.

Looks like a Chevy HRH with panel sides instead of windows.  I don't like the HRH or this Mini, but "Whatever floats your boat" is what I say.

That lavendar thang was parked next to my 1967 Austin Mini Countryman Woody Wagon at the ABFM in Portland Oregon back in 2008(?) A very nice gent owned it, but I don't know what possessed him to build what he built? I believe he just finished the car, (notice I didn't say Mini) I think the frame was even tubed or something?

I'm transferring my comments from the first thread, they still apply.

In response to this build,

If at first you don't exceed, freaking give up. , he should have gone home .

I stand by my first assessment

Like the price, it looks over-inflated. Would look good parked beside a Boucy-Castle.

Or is it a shot back at BMW for all their blasphemies?

IMHO, if one didn't know it is a Mini, it would even be a nice car, but....
