Don't know if there has been a thread on this before, I had a bit of a look but couldn't find one, but what would your dream mini be. Assume finance is not an issue, and it's up to you whether or not you want the car to be street legal.

My mini would be as follows.-

Rover Shell w/ Carbon Fibre one piece flip front.
Carbon Fibre doors, roof, miglia style arches and a panels.
De-Bumpered rear end Mk1 tail lights and grill without the moustache.
Painted Deep Blue metallic with twin Silver racing stripes running up and over the car.
Force Racing or MB Racing 10x7in split rims w/ black centres
Force Racing Titanium front subframe
Rear Beam subby(not 100% sure on this one)
Coilovers all round
KAD disc brakes front and rear
1380cc Turbo Bimmer Twinky motor running Vi-Pec ecu and GT25 turbo
Custom interior featuring own design dash/centre console- timber and Alum one piece unit with leather trimming
Classic bucket style seats retrimmed in leather
Stereo- not sure of specs but top of line stereo subtly integrated into design to blend in rather than be a feature aesthetically, much prefer to hear than see.

So c'mon everyone tell me yours!

i'm going to be boring and say my mini is my dream mini.

I would just like her to have:
Perfect paint work
no rust
kick ass sub in the boot
speakers in the front
my own 998 motor but with some grunt (at least a little grunt :lol:)
mambas
motorised screen dvd player/head unit
disc brakes

My old original Cooper S Mk2 - white with extractors, hotdog, switch extensions, daggy square weathershield, no hyro fluid, stuffed starter, leaking fuel tank, and the little ding I put in it on the left guard............

But any real Cooper S would substitute! :wink:
