Well, this my father's in law MINI VTEC. It is a pure racing car. It is used for quarter of a mile racing. It has a HONDA 1.6L, 16v VTEC Engine producing around 185bhp @ 9500rpm. It is made of carbon-fibre and it is super light, around 500Kg. If you make one to one physics, light weight equal more speed!! Here in the photo it has no grill and rear spolier, they were added later on. It got nitrious oxide (NOS) installed, but never used so far to make a run. It also got a programmable racing ECU. The height of this car is less than 4 feet!!!!

236985M's 1999 MINI Cooper This is the owner, Mr Benjamin Bonnici better known as Benny, and also the driver of all these intersting minis. He is a very good driver!!!!! on the road and on the track!!!! He is a managing director, but also a fine mechanic so he works on all the minis himself with some of his friends.

Hello sir, congratulations with your nice range of classic mini's ! We were looking at your pick-up with American style load bed on the mini pick-up forum http://www.minipickup.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=11285#p11285 and would like to know more of it, and see more pics from the back. Looks like you'll be fitting the V8 in it too so that's an intresting project to follow !
