About

My second MINI Cooper S, bought after my first (a 2002, also in my Motortopia garage) was totalled by a flash flood. My original color choice, but black was not available as an S body color the first year it was introduced (and is now also no longer available). This car is getting the mods I was unable to perform on the first MINI, most notably the pullies, suspension and wheels.

Click the links above to see the mods I've done. More info/pics can be found about this car and its modifications here:
