Yeah it's defo cooler than a 5.0 v8 bmw 
ive been into minis for years.
a cool car isnt all about speed.
You drove one? VERY uncomfy if going any distance. Fun though no doubt about that. think this ones going to be a long term project, ive bought a welder (need to learn how that works 1st  ) then tart up a few other bits, few new panels & a respray, oh & engine needs a looked at, think it needs rings done as its using a bit of oil. That would be to get it mint, it could probably make it back on the road after a few hours/couple hundred quid.
Long term project, it'll be back on the road some day
