Do yourself a favour. Before you hack it, drive a dry car with similar wheels and tyres, & see if you like it any better.
I've got a wet one that's been converted to dry. Its ride is crap.. it pitches, bucks, jumps.. handles worse too.
I'm throwing 4 new Konis on to try and tame it- if that doesn't work- sod it, I'll be looking for some hydro bits for it... :lol:

as you say...to each his own...

i love angry looking cars...and the turned up bottom section of the rover grille makes it look neutral...the original turned down frown of the 60's mini is angry ;) AND I LOVE IT!
