To expand a little on my previous post..

I spoke to the guy who said 'yeah good car, drives well, has all seats and seat belts, really quick'

Got there, asked if any body modifications done to fit the bigger engine, answer 'No'

Are there any identification numbers or paperwork to identify the car? 'No'

How long have you had it '6 months, bought it for $800 off a wrecker'

I asked him to take me for a short drive, after several minutes of trying to open the passenger door, i asked where the passenger seat was 'in the garage', so i got in the back seat.

I asked him where the rear seat belts were 'in the garage'....

.... so i find myself in the back seat, no seatbelt, no passenger front seat in between myself and the windscreen, being taken for a drive down a narrow backstreet (due to being unregistered) with the guy trying to show me how fast it went (not very but gained momentum down hill) :shock:


No I didn't ask to see the parts in teh garage when we got back, I got the hell out of there.

my brother in law rang me the other day saying there is a cool mini on Jamo RD with big flares and all that jazz.

I would officially like to thank everyone for saving me the 2 minute drive

it looks like the front wheel arches are trying to pinch the tyre or pic the tyre up or something.

Fortech arches do look good but that is just odd. I hope my mini looks nothing like this when finished :)

He might be selling it because he can't get it engineered!
