Har har!

That thing is godawful....it's beyond words!

What do you think would make someone do that? That took a car with incredible balance and character, not to mention excellent handling, and made it look like a mini that backed into a little sailboat and got left there. :( Yuck. Two very sad thumbs down.

I don't understand you guys at all. Although I would agree that it isn't what I would have done to a Mini (this guy is obviously a realist when it comes to the threat of global warming), isn't part of the joy of Minis that you can modify them in strange ways, to be an individual? No matter what, it's still cool because it's a Mini, even if it isn't your cup of tea.

For all we know that Mini was a complete wreck, on it's way to Ezy-Scrap, and this guy rescued it. Although I use the term 'rescued' loosely :lol:

It would probably look better with the tail sloping down as well as in to the boat-tail look . I think there are (or were) definite rego savings on 3 wheelers compared to 4 wheelers in the UK so there are a few variations of 3 wheel mini's including some that look a lot like the early Morgan 3 wheelers .

I think it's funny! :lol:

Disappointed that he didn't follow the wood over the front wheel arch and maybe even onto the front bumper. The back and the front look great separately but not together. :?

I think it looks great :)

Very rare and yes with the threat of glbal warming and the seas rising, the new owner will be laughing when he's driving his mini around :?

Thumbs up from me.
