Andy's latest toy

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Andy's latest toy

Post by donkeychomp » Sat Mar 07, 2015 10:26 pm

My mate Andy (not from here) deals in classic cars as a living. OK he failed with the rust bug but woo hoo lookie here. One of three made by V Max something or other. Tax free, years MOT, 125bhp from a tuned 1400 engine and weighing less than a Kleenex. It is so low the exhaust snapped in half as he tried to get over a speed bump at my place..we fixed it there and then. He's going to get the body sorted and resprayed and use it as a promotional car for his company. He says he wants me to drive it with white Alpinestar overalls and my Simpson lid lol! Cool cool car.

I had a ponder over the GT33 logo. A take on the GT40 as the Mini is 33" high :hahaha:

That's ace and would be awesome fun to drive but at the same time the sort of car I would not feel safe to be in without at least a Bhoop cage.

There used to be a mini roadster similar to that (body wise at least) where I live, haven't seen it around for a very long time though.

Its a nice looking car and i should image ultra quick due to the power to weight ratio,but not practical in any shape or form.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I be it's awesome fun to drive and sticks to the road like glue, but if it comes unstuck you really, REALLY need some hoops behind the seats.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
