Looks like a beast and looks to have been kept in good condition.
Will it remain clean over there? Probably easier to keep clean as better quality of roads and no salt.

That thing makes the 22inch wheels look tiny.

You keeping it standard or will you make it your own?

Probably easier to keep clean as better quality of roads and no salt.Pensacola is actually on the gulf coast and got covered with salt droplets on saturday night, but, generally i won't be near the sea, so, yes, it's far easier to keep clean, though it's a huge job to wash it :eek:

You keeping it standard or will you make it your own?Standard for me, though the previous owner had different light clusters installed, the exhausts were replaced from 2 into one then out to 2 to 2 straight outs retiaing the cats.
No emission rules here and this thing makes more noise than my Turbo'd S :thumbs up:

Alan the best motor you have had to date in my Allans humble opinion he would have that over a Mini any day.:eek::eek::eek:

Alan, it is a lovely motor, and they are really nice in the flesh (and very huge)

Seen a few of these across in Canada and they are an absolute mint.


as you say though, nothing is small across there :thumbs up:

Would I be right to say that is you finished for a while anyway with mini's?It's a hard thing to say, but, a MINI is just not practicable over here, but, i wouldn't rule it out toatally

that is awesome... i love those things, i'd fancy a cadillac escalade or GMC Suburban if I lived over there.

I'd have the massive rims on it too... love it, really pleased for you.

Just had a thought... you could let ME look after ur Mini whilst ur away and it'll be here for u when u return on occassion ;)

Saves u selling it and saves me buying an S lol... we both win (ahem, cough).

H :D

I'm sure you'll find a BIG USofA car wash somewhere local :rolleyes:

& as for keeping it standard, .......... "aye away & have a lie down boss" (whispers, 'ya rocket')

What's the 'truck' like on the 'twisties' by the way, or are all your 'freeways' long straight lines ??

I drove an F150 pick up back home as well before moving to scotland last 2003 for two years and i can say they are cool to drive but very thirsty on petrol, but since petrol is cheap back home so no complain. Enjoy !!! :bigwave:
