    My Dad just picked this up in a trade and now we have it in the shop so we can prototype mini parts :D

    Car is full of tasty modifications (list coming soon). The previous owner had the union jack vinyl up top that is now completely trashed -- we'll more than likely have the roof re-done with the flag painted on or do a full gloss black spray.

    Some quick snaps from this morning...

    And if this thing had more torque I'd consider it a nice runner up to the STi (the 04 not the 08)

    Love the JCW Package. A Mini would have been a great daily driver for me, if I could afford a second car....
