Aus2k, I would paint it the same color as the chick in your signature...



But blue seems to be a cool color for the Mini. I like blue, too...

Thanks for the replies, this is the colour i'm leaning towards....



I WILL be keeping 10" wheels though just because the suspension has a hard time keeping the 13" wheels on the ground and the alter the handling characteristics too much....

Ahh, mini's a great classic car, i love 'em...

On a different note, how do i drive the thing when it gets out of control, (i call it me go-kart)
If i feel the car understeering do i let off the gas or put the foot down, do some oppy lock? hehe..., i dont want to learn the hard way and i'm sure some of you have learnt by your mistakes...

lol, i can see me stuffing up and not deciding on which to do and ploughing straight into a wall

I dont want to thrash the balls out of the car, cause at the moment she's in pristine condition, but at the same time i want to have some fun, what do you think is reasonable?

I'm amazed at the wheel at each corner approach and how it handles, havn't pushed the car anywhere near it's limits, whats it like compared to the S2000? *runs and hides behind a bunker*

Chalk and cheese to be honest.
The mini is a very forgiving car to drive fast on twisty roads in poor conditions.
It is quite easy to get the car into a powerslide around corners for a quick exit.
The early rally victories bear witness to this.
