I like anything that's different and required owner to make / design custom parts.

I hate the articles about cheque book concourse car; I brought a hertitage shell, I paid so & so body shop to paint it, I then built it up using all new parts from Mini spares, whilst they look very pretty they make for some very boring reading and don't inspire me.

Edit: In the last few years the mag seemed to have moved away from the cheque book builds.

Agree with Rob.

toms pug could go in retro cars i rekon.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

i agree with rob aswell, i like the cars built by a guy in his shed on a limited budget, time and (dare i say it?) love has gone into the build alot of custom parts and most of the time the most difficult problems solved the simplest way, it makes for an inspiring read

Yes i moved to the darkside

Has Paul Wiginton's sprint ever had an article?

I think Gary OS has taken over my role as the forum smart arse

As per Rob, Alex, Brett etc....

That's why this site/forum is so much more interesting than the two "mainstream" ones.

But I'm not sure if that is good for magazine audiences ???

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I'd echo everybody else's comments really. I try and work to Rob H's principles, but there are some things I just can't do. So that's where you lot step in....

I'd love to see my mini featured, but then I'd have to take my finger out and finish it.

I'd also love to see our Metro van featured somewhere once it's been restored. I now metros are crap, but it's bloody rare and it's good fun.

I seriously doubt it!

cheers for your thoughts, keen em coming. Paul Wigs car is in my thoughts.

Pm me if you have any names and cars.

Does it have to be a Mini or is it for any Mag?

well i was thinking mini, BUT i work for most of the car mags at some point or other and I'm always looking for different cars, So in answer to you, no it doesn't

I know Chris Dillow (new to this forum) would love to have a feature.
He runs a 1293 road car with some light weight mods and came second place in B class at Avon with a 14.9 sec pass.
Im sure he could sort you some pics if you PM him. Its a nice looking car too. MK4 shell, white, 13" Alleycats, tidy condition

I seriously doubt it!

Oh right thanks :)

My brother has got a lovely Evo 8, its off for a 2.3 stroker engine next week hopefully. He might be interested.

Roberts, dennis's, maybe some that are projects in the making?

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

yes denis's would be interesting,

also sideways GTMs gtm.

i want to see paul wigglytons car re featured, and sprint 1380's car before it changes too much, its so different to anything else

How about a few of the miglias and sevens, its been a while since they were in

i have always wanted a feature at somepoint in time lol, but i agree about Mr wig, the fentonator and his pug, dennis and his 11.9sec k-series and maybe getting some race cars in there would be interesting, maybe paul s's 998 turbo or SC's gold beast if it works?

just to throw it out there what about steve and his 140+mph mini???
