Yeah, but what does his nationality have to do with it?

oh no, i'm just curious. Nothing to do with the styling. Cos his dad owns autotecnica, and i wanted to know where they come from.

They are very close friends of my family and they actually organised my car for me at a very good price..... look to the AutotechnicA flag for a hint as to their heritage.

Not only does it look wild, but fair to say in a short while it will go very, VERY quick as well.

looks like it too. Those square ducts on the bumper could be used as brake ducts....
Autotechnica are a really good company, i have friends who have dealt with them too, as i have a lot of car-nut mates.

Will go and check the flag now....

you have to see this thing. Craziest mini i've ever ever seen. Although i wouldn't fit the bodykit myself, its by far the most unique mini i know of. I'm a huge fan of modded minis, cos there's so many of them, the mods are what make them individual. Just wish he'd post, i'd be really curious to know what he's done underneath the bonnet. Already peered inside the car and around it

Passed a BRG/BLK MCS, I gave him a huge wave but got nothing. He was driving like a nanna! I have noticed lately that ALOT of mini owners on the Gold Coast are males aged 55yrs and above and never wave.

It is not just specific to the gold coast. Most of my non waves come from middle aged men too.

Spotted a really nice young girl in a BRG/W Cooper with a UJ roof decal - beeped and waved and got a big enthusiastic wave and smile back, and then we played chased down Bourke rd
