Is it just my eyes or are there drum brakes on the front of this,? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Morris-Mini-998- ... 1c1a106765 |

ha!!! it`s a Baby little blower & only fitted to a 998 so the drum brakes (if set-up correctly) would be fine i`d be more worried that they (the brakes) wouldn`t be able to cope with all that rotating mass of the heavy 13" wheels/tyres at any given high speed

Good thing it's got 7" wheels - otherwise you would be spinning the wheels in first gear on a dirt road :) What type of blower is that? I would have thought a 'baby little blower' would be good for a 998. It looks like quite a good mini, though. Except for the wheels, and the fake filler cap :lol: And would I be right in thinking that the tube wrapped around the inlet is to warm the mixture going into the charger? |

my mate and I were just discussing that.... it's probably for warming, but would work nicely for cooling the water as well, or maybe it's a form of airconditioning for the car.... or something... "interesting" is the word |

firstly... is this guy a porn photographer? he needs to use less vaseline on his camera lens. secondly... it ALWAYS reeks of dodgy when someone is selling a modified car in a state different to the rego plates... if it's not stolen or rebirthed it most likely won't pass rego in the state he's selling it in... i don't think even over here in south oz those flares and wheels would be legal on it... |

No idea who, but his/her ads have offered pickup in either Collingwood or Hillside (Sydenham) in Melbourne.. |
