Some great pics there and you're right...they sure know how to modify a Mini! Best of the bunch for me by a country mile is this:  Do you know if it's chopped, a custom shell (i.e. GRP) or even a genuine Sprint? Either way, I LOVE it....the proportions are just so right. |

no idea to tell the truth, the site was all in japanese, and didn't make much more sense translated!

Would love to see a picture of the Moke behind the Sprint.

I spy a couple on there from Mini Delta. That place is awesome and makes some superb minis. They have a great website (if you can read Japanese) and sell all sorts of trick parts. They used to have this among their part numbers (translated): 1600cc High Power complete engine of wonder DELTA special tuning engine. 158 horsepower. Private mission case. Desired retail price 1,365,000 Special price 1,092,000 (including tax) Thats before we mention the main man Shuji Maruyama (hope thats right!) and his fabulous race mini called 'Midorigame'.  Amazing machine with a massively developed a series engine with 16v head and trick everything, producing silly bhp. Apparently though the front end was designed in the 90s, before any of the heinous BMW involvement! Foresight or what! |

There's just something about the Japanese ones that makes them work. Very resolved, everything in sync, generally very tasteful and finished to a very high standard.

Japs have been getting their minis right for years. Generaly Smooth, lush simple paintwork and choice enhancements make their minis top quality. They seem to have a better choice of rims too! A stanced mini on fat 10's and the right set of arches is much win.

I love the look on this one, but can't make up my mind if it looks mean, angry, or constipated in all honesty, but regardless, I love it   Here's one from a guy off one of the other forums I'm on. My favourite Mini ever!!!!   Oh, by the way, the forum, is one for people with V8s..........and yes, the Mini is running a V8 under the hood!!! |

Anyone know where I can get me one of those big  towing eyes? |

Cheers for that (bloody quick!) reply.....not sure how they would fit though because the towing eye on minis usually replace the subframe mount...??
