Default the z06 has a new room mate !!!

She has wanted one of these ever since i met her so we took a 5 hour trip yesterday and picked up a 1986 mini. It is 100% stock and had a full restoration in the begening of last year. She is guna drive it untill there is a mechanical failure of engine or tranny and then we are guna do a d series honda swap.

0-60 in 2 weeks lol

Very nice, those Mini's are cool, but I would leave the Mini stock. Having an original Mini is money in the bank. Once you put that Honda motor in the Mini you will destroy its value.

Not only that, I would rather see my wife driving around in a larger, safe car with air bags, ABS, crumple zones......

that was the original plan but the car is not very driveable as it is, its top speed is around 60 and it has very little acceleration. i think a single cam honda will greatly improve the driveability and reliability of the car plus it is a bolt in swap so everyhing is reversable and should not affect the value of the car to awfull much. her dd is a 2013 audi a3 tdi. the mini is guna just b a weekend thing
