what type of car is the overhead console out of? really nice little feature!

[channel5ish]

The overhead console is out of an old Fiat Regata...

[georgedrakard]

how much did you spend in total to git this god like mini in to gear

[channel5ish]

I added it up once and it was nearly £9,000 It's easy to get carried away with these things over the years...

Awsum!!!

How'd you get electric windows?

I have a 1993 Cooper and would love electric windows :)

@StrawBaBBerry wow, small world, i go past there most days :D

[PigInABox17]

Great car, simple yet so so good! just how i like mini's :D

@MrLukealfano I am also 6ft 5, and I found the problem in minis isn't really legroom; there's just enough of that. The problem is headroom, but that's pretty easily solved with a bucket seat that sits nice and low. I'm a skinny chap though, so if you're a rugby player with huge shoulders you might get some rubbage of your right arm against the driver's door.

Hi Mate i LOVE the look of your mini and i love them but im a 6,5ft rugby player i was wondering if i would have a hope in hell of getting in one, i herd you can get extended seat brackets

[nathanjohnstuart]

this is amazing! That engine noise is epic! cant believe you spent £9000 getting it to this point. bet it was all worth it though :)

[mrsockyman]

love the sound of that engine climbing the rev counter! :)

[pitbikerz]

Why do mini's sound so good?

[StrawBaBBerry]

You drove that near the fox and hound pub? west sussex? ;D
