Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Ha ha. No.

I'm on it and in communication with Hobo. His mum will not know wtf happened to that car.

I am not a mini nut, though I did own a Cooper S so took a bit of an interest in modding them - the schnitzels were the best I tried in terms of not turning a car that lready had pretty crappy ride quality into something that was useless on anything but smooth roads - I was under the impression that the AC Schnitzer Eagle was the fasted modded mini out there that can still go round corners

I am not saying there aren't a wealth of other options out there, but the Schnitzers aren't shit, especially when you think about the service.

I have had a Brabus, and the best thing about it is you know it's been done properly and has full factory backup.
