Nice one Nick, which issue will it be in and can we get a sneak preview of some of the piccys

Rich

Cheers Rich,
Dont know what issue yet reckon could be the Sept / Oct one, have been told that Miniworld send you the CD with all the pics on. I would expect them to send that after the publish date. Was very strange driving down a dual carriageway with a photographer hanging out the window of the car at the side of you

Sounds like you had FUN Nick.
You will have to tell me all about it next week.
Still waiting for a ride out in BADASS.
Don't forget the signed photo will you !!!

Keith.

Who's got one then?

Gonna have to talk to the guys about one of these when I go see them in the next week or two.

Pat...

just Nick at the moment he,s assembled the first conversion. I know there is a lot of interest comeing in for the mini and i think a plan of action is hatching with Mark and Col

Yep - mentioned it to them a few weeks ago and I got the picture that it was maybe meant to be a secret!

I'm stupidly interested though.

Pat...

Just noticed - it's even got those real mini rear opening windows.

I want one.

Did miles and miles in the back of my dads when I was little and then been through 2 myself.

Pat...

Emailed mac#1 about some details on this and what their plans are, not got a response in over a week.

boo hoo looks like it will be a z-cars jobbie instead.

Better to phone them. When busy emails take a lesser priority at most places.

Hi,
Just got back from 2 weeks hols in Cornwall, i built and own the Mini a full feature is to be in Miniworld Mag in Sept / Oct. It is intended to produce a kit for DIY build with a variance of engines , however sufficent testing has to take place before the kits are produced. Keep in contact with MAC 1 and they will let you know when demo models are available, although i would expect them to be built over the winter period. I will be taking the Mini to Donnington Kitcar Show in September.
Cheers
Nick

I was talking to Mac#1 about this today and I'm very interested.

They're moving unit to a bigger and better one in the next week or to.

Give them a ring.

Pat...

any idea on price of the kit ........ all seems very secret very hush hush

As the Mini is still being tested it is not being promoted yet.

I believe that you could easily build a same spec as mine for between 6 - 7 k.

A decision of what the kit should comprise of still needs to be made.

You are welcome to visit my home to view the car if interested or i do attend a lot of mini and car shows with it.

I believe MAC 1 are having an open day in September and i hope to attend .

Cheers
Nick

I heard a rumour that it may be the same weekend as Donnington and I know where I'd rather go (and just for the free coffee) !

Pat...

hi mr shogun the macini would look vgood with a roof rack on it so you could take all your mates stuff to the shows so his mac#1 would not be slow and keep up with you

Darren,
If you had not over indulged on Cornish Pasties,Clotted Cream & Ice creams on holiday you might get a few more MPH out of your car .
You still owe me for taking your kitchen sink to Newark so you could get more MPH & MPG from your MAC1.
Go on Get your push bike out you know you want too.

Just had E - Mail from Mini World with a preview of the MACINI article.
Due in the shops on the 29th .
Article titled KWACKERS ! on page 66 - 67 going to buy all W H Smiths copies..
Cheers.

Nice one Nick. will go and grab myself a copy whilst i'm away on holiday.

How we fixed for a demo ride mate?

Bird flu
