ok guys. I'm sorry to Create one of these threads. :oops:

I'm very confused, im getting offers on both cars & im not sure what to go with.

I need to let one Mini go, i want to keep one.

the swift or the traveler.

I want a quick mini & i'm just not sure if i will get that reliably from a mini engine.

the swift is doing 105ATw seems very reliable.

the other mini is set up ready for the blower i have the blower & everything.

can i have some suggestions please,, im must sound like a dick head.

but im honestly confused where to go with this.

advice is much appreciated.

Which car, if you get rid of, you will regret most later on in life? Sell the other car

If you are not going to be happy with an A series engine sell them both.

sell the traveller, keep the rover.

then in 5 years when you REALLY regret selling the traveller you can sell me the rover/swift to me to fund re-sourcing your prior love...

solves two issues...

1. you get rid of one car now

2. the rover/swift is in good hands until i can afford it :)

Id say if you want a fast car buy a V8, keep the traveller. Remember the speed limit is only 60 in most places.

I found with my XR6T Ute it was pointless having 400rwhp as you could only go so fast.. and then your freakin out worrying if your gunna get busted by the law or some do gooder is gunna call he 13HOON hotline....

If the contract is worth a few dollars put one mothballs.
You're giving yourself a lot of unnecessary pain.

Probably easier to find a roundy & modify or pre modified roundy than finding another van like yours. Vans also a little more practical
