Taxi Adam Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 nice sport, very clean. potential lollove the mini, which engine is it? 1275? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 yer it was the 1275, plus a bit had filters, race rockers, and a cam i think! was tonnes quicker than my first mini that got nicked, but was the same size engine! had wide ass wheels and tyres, looked phat as out, and noisey as out too! gutted i had to sell it but going to uni in september so needed summit more practical!

Exactly what I'm looking to do with the prices Mini's are selling for now. Got mine advertised for £4k, just seeing if there's any interest, then I'll be in a Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) the sport pack ones are well nice, green is the colour for minis! the mini market is funny, the cheap ones are selling (as always), the middle priced ones arent fetching what they are worth, but the top end ones, like £3k+ are selling well aswell! its heaven driving the lupo from the mini like, no noise, can hear the radio, potholes dont crick ya neck! LOL! loved the mini though i must admit! Edited June 11, 2009 by ministig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat2k8 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Awsome .... im off to uni this year as well .... but still keeping it wouldnt sell it for the world .... good luck with the Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 haha, your lucky! we just didnt have the space for it, cos i would have happily kept mine forever! but would have been money sitting there on the drive not getting used for 4 years!
