Sorry I know people are entitled to their opinions and I accept that but why do people shoe horn minis and for that fact other cars that they can’t be out side the norm and if so it’s a no go?

um I have read that four times and I stilll cant understand it.

i think minis can be hotrods

oh dear

well, they are from the 50's, and they'll do 100mph

but so do Wartburgs

minis have heaps of chrome and 4 on the floor

funny you should mention that.....uh this one has hydrolics in it




yeah its the april 2007 issue has a yellow clubby van on the front with a vtec engine

Minis can't be Hot Rods - to be a Hot Rod, it's got to be pre 1948 and have a full separate chassis. I looked into it to get my Minor registered that way... No go for a Minor either. If they'd said yes, I could've had a blown 4.6L Range Rover V8 in it...
Technically a Mini's from the 50's, but it's stretching it a bit thin... They're definitely more a 60's car. So don't think about 57 Chev's and the Batmobile, think more along these lines: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1965-SS-CHEVROLE ... dZViewItem
It's a totally different scene to Minis - it's Elvis in Hawaii compared to the Beatles - take your pick, because while both may be good, they don't seem to mix... It's like oil and water. I don't know why, though... I guess it's down to the vast difference in car culture between the UK and US - the US goes like a bull through a gate, but it doesn't have subtlety, it can't change direction quickly. Meanwhile, the UK doesn't have the muscle it dreams of.
Personally, I don't like the arches on that orange Mini - too big, too plasticky, and the wheels would be a lot of work, but I like the wheels, and the Mini...
