    I see the problem in the guy in picture 9 with the white scarf needs to back to his florist job.:lol::lol:

    If MINI built the cars in the first few pictures ( 1 & 4 ) maybe I would buy another one in the future.

    The first shot got my attention! What size are those wheel, 22"? If the wheels were that size, imagine the BBK we could put in there! Watch out Z06 for when I stop, you will run into the back of me!

    I just laugh when I see drawings like those any more. We all know by now that the wheels will not look like that and the car will be raised about 3''. I do hope they get rid of the black solid section in the grille area. Too many other cars have done that and I don't think it ever looked good on any of them.. Do like getting more options on interior colors though, depending on pricing of course...

    That is a BIG "IF".. They might make the body, but you'd have to come up with the cool wheels, rubberband tires and some lowering springs. I learned my lesson with MINI and their prototype cars with the Roadster. They paraded those pics around for 2 years, even the cars themselves, and then changed the grilles, ( remember it had a 1st Gen grille in it till production ) wheels, and raised it up in the air, etc....
    What makes those pics look cool is the full wheel well slammed look, and the shading of colors..

    These are the colors. Not sure if the Red is called Chili red or not.
