adrian just had a look at your masterpiece!! it makes me feel like selling my build and moving straight onto a new build like yours, its stunning!! hope you have alot of fun in it!!

thanks!

must admit having built an mk indy in the past (which i loved), i feel the mini is a bit more special, the reaction it gets is amazing. the best thing is you can park it up , lock it and leave it, its got a roof and still has rear wheel drive with all the fun of a bike engine

cheers ady


COREdevelopments - 15/7/07 at 03:02 PM

its a mini so yes it is special. i am so jealous. wish i could have it!!

asn163 - 15/7/07 at 06:35 PM

Hi,

I was in the black MK Indyblade going out of Matlock towards Tansley.

You were just exercising your right foot as I went past.

Simon


adrian - 15/7/07 at 08:03 PM

hahahah!!!!!
just remembered! yeah saw you in your helmets and guessed you had a bec so gave it some revs in respect!!!


zxrlocost - 15/7/07 at 08:17 PM

adrian - 15/7/07 at 08:22 PM

zxrlocost - 15/7/07 at 08:24 PM

how do you feel it performs compared to other bike engine cars


adrian - 15/7/07 at 08:30 PM

7's handle better overall,
i guess cos the mini has a shorter wheel base its harder to stop the back end coming around.
because its so small it has more of a "go kart feel" (if you've driven a go kart it is very similar) which makes it fun
