  • I love a hot Mini and have driven quite a few BUT nothing prepared me for this car. Stunningly presented, very lightweight and loads of power !
    At the rear of this car you will find the engine from a Honda Civic Type R, perhaps one of the best engines ever made. With VTEC and a 9000 rpm redline the engine produces 215hp in a car the weights only 750kg !
    This car was built and prepared by ZCars. These guys do very special things to Minis and others in what they call Classics Reimagined. I hope to do ore with them in the future. For more info head over the their website...

    Pete Pete Pete, a mini is a mini not something you transplant everything other than a shell to cover the internals. While I applaud the engineering and application and the thrill of its ability, which is very impressive. The Project Binki Mini was enjoyable to watch by the Bad Obsession crew putting it together, yet to be finished though. All good. Cheers and thank you once again

  • @Billydevito
    @Billydevito 2 года назад +6

    Mad on a track, crazy on the road !
    Absolutely insane in the wet !!
    The mini handles like a go-kart but is tricky at the limit.
    With the engine in the rear, I’m guessing it’ll be like a classic 911.
    Understeer, then massive oversteer.
    It’ll hang on until it doesn’t, then, because of the short wheelbase, come around very suddenly and quickly.
    Thrilling to be sure, but not for the average driver.
    Reminds me of the Giocattolo in the 80s. A mid-mounted 5ltr V8 in a front engined V6 Alfa Romeo Coupé.
    Sweet!

    • @scottloder7976
      @scottloder7976 2 года назад

      I had a Alfa 1750 GTV when I was in my 20s that handled like that. like you were on rails, but if you pushed it too far would let go the rear very quickly. Great car I wish I hadn't sold it they are worth a small fortune now.

    Absolutely epic. Had an 850 mini 40 years ago souped with twin carbs and 215 tyres. Want want one again. Only thing is the wide tyres for a light car didn't have good grip on the wet, l spun off a few times, went back to 165 tyres for better grip. Look at Monte Carlo rally minis, all had narrow tyres for grip. Aside, congratulations on building this fantastic mini.

    Paint work is amazing. Stunning looking classic mini! Someone has spent hours on that rebuild.

    I enjoyed watching this Mimi it reminds of a coworker (Gary Silverstein) who has a 1970 Mimi cooper who took me for a wild ride that reminded me how quick and how fast!

    This is the type of car where eyebrows and grin meet round the back of your head. Outstanding job.
