Hi Guys

Craig and Bruce from minis in the gong have there Blue mini van featured in Fast fours and rotaries Feb edition. It is a three page story I have been told.
Some of you would remember it from the MCCNSW show and shine at Gannons.

Here is the car.

I love any car with a pine tree hanging from the rear vision mirror. :D

Out of curiosity, what are the engine specs?

Hi Speedy

I haven't bought the mag yet so i'm not exactly sure on engine specs. But if i remember correctly from last time i was at their place it is an 1100 that is reasonably standard, with a T2 (maybe T3) turbo.

Their other mini is a lovely red with white roof cooper s running NOS.

I was fortunate enough to get my car in quite a few years ago.

That looks like a decent sized FMIC.

I would like to know the motor specs too. Probably should go to a newagent and have a look! :lol:

But anyways, it could be an 1100 but that looks like a 1275 head. Which means it's either a not all that stock 1100 or a 1275.

I think I've got the same one in my starlet project Mini. It's pretty much the only avaliable intercooler which sort of fits a Mini. It looks huge but as far as FMIC go it's not very big compared to most aftermarket stuff, but I guess compared to stock stuf, then yeah it's huge.

Yeah it looks about as about as big as the stock FMIC that came off my XR. Actually come to think of it, a stock XR one would probably go down pretty well on a Turbo Mini.
