Nissan Figaro. Forgotten now because no one would believe that Nissan could produce anything fun and cheerfully silly.

I'm sorry sir, your eyes seem to be defective. You may want to check to see if they are still under warranty.

Not the 2011s, just the ones mated to the J30s and J32 engines in previous generations.

Lady needs to hit the daiye spa.

Just to make sure it had nothing whatsoever left in common with the original Mini?

Let's bring everything below this line.

But beyond that, which variants does Mini really need?

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with what I have. :) Maybe I'd like to add a mid 90's Cabrio one day, but that's about it. A mate and I do the Shitbox Rally (it's a charity rally, raising money for Cancer research) in this abused Mini van. It was rusty as hell and about to be scrapped. Basically the bottom six inches of…

The MG Metro (and 1990 RSP Cooper) engine had 72hp at the flywheel from the factory. It's not hard to find 4hp with a few mods. :) If you are talking hp at the wheels, 76 hp is a pretty hot engine. This is my much-modified Moke and my wife's stock 66 Austin Mini. I also have a 65 Woody Traveller under long term…

Owning shitboxes makes you appreciate the good cars even more.

I'm not a bike guy, but that looks like a bullet moving through the wind. I want it!
