MINI2

My little brother is a MINI nut... ever since I've had (classic) mini's he's loved them, old ones, new ones he just loves them.

A couple of years ago he saved up his pocket money and bought a little model mini Cooper that sits pride of place on his drawers.

Only problem is it's Blue with white roof, mirros and no stripes. Well a trip to Supercheap for some black gloss paint, masking tape and black electrical tape... and an afternoon fixed that and we have the following results.

heheheh I love it! Now I'm on the hunt for another one so I can do it again.

Anyone have replicas?

HAHA that's cool!
Pity the alloys aren't the same on the model, but still gr8!
I bought a die cast MINI the other day... I wanted to get one in the colours of my MINI but I just went with what I could only find.... for $3 I wasn't complaining!!!

Paul_T · Feb 19th, 2007, 08:51 PM

Yeah, it's not perfect, being a Cooper, not an S, having the wrong grille, wheels etc... but, it's still good fun!

twotwoz · Feb 19th, 2007, 09:38 PM

I love it!

I've only got the mini magnet (red) ... keeps me amused when I'm stuck on the phone at work though.

85NIXMIN · Feb 20th, 2007, 01:02 AM

The shape of that replica car is the shape of mine.... hahah pity it ain't black with a white roof....

85NIXMIN · Feb 20th, 2007, 01:02 AM

Even down to the alloys on it.... :S
Now that's scary!
Man I just wanna jump in there and drive it!!!

85NIXMIN · Feb 20th, 2007, 04:59 AM

Here's my lil replica that looks nothing like mine really... HAHA
Oh except the White mirrors...

twotwoz · Feb 20th, 2007, 05:16 AM

This is my mini mini. Definately not a replica!

85NIXMIN · Feb 20th, 2007, 05:44 AM

WOW that's like a micro MINI
Hehe!

twotwoz · Feb 20th, 2007, 10:42 AM

They give them out in the show bags. I've got three of them now. They also wind back and run off .... this one has flown off my desk a few times.

I got one of those lil suckers today, a red one, after doing the MINI driver training session. They are so small, you just want to choke on it. My lil dog loved chasing it across the tiled floor.

I've got a few models of Indi Blue'n'White MINI's, none of them very good quality though. Think Bburago made the 1:18 one, I had to paint the mirrors white they were black.

85NIXMIN · Feb 20th, 2007, 12:39 PM

Bburago man I love their diecast cars!!!
I was a fan... hehe
I have a Mini Cooper keyring floating around somewhere... used to be on my keys when I was drivin' my Suzuki Vitara... it was red with a white roof and it was one of those ones that you pulled back as well and it went flying... as well as being a keyring... man I wish I could find it... altho it would need a new paint job!!!

85NIXMIN · Feb 22nd, 2007, 12:43 PM

U wouldn't believe it but I bought me another MINI today... a model one... haha same colour as mine... Black with White roof/ White mirrors... only difference is the model is a "S"....It's what I'm aspiring to...

I'll post pics when I'm on my other computer

Paul_T · Feb 22nd, 2007, 08:45 PM

Where did you get it from? I'm trying to find an 'S'.

MickyD · Feb 22nd, 2007, 11:49 PM

Kinsmart make a decent looking S that you can find in most $2 shop type places.

mamba · Feb 23rd, 2007, 12:37 AM

One of the dealers already had 1:18 (i think) diecast R56 in that new blue with white roof back in December. Good detail but they were charging dealer prices though....

btw it was an 's' replica, not cooper.

85NIXMIN · Feb 23rd, 2007, 01:07 AM

Hahaha!
My model "S" is a Kinsmart model...
I was down at Harbour Town on the coast... and this tobacconist place had em.... all different models, old sytle MINI new, but they didn't have any in the colour of your car... they had a model of the electric blue with white roof, red and white roof, yellow and white roof, black with white roof and that was it i think... I passed another shop and they had MINI cabrio models as well... hehe

They weren't too exxy either... was $9.95.... and then towards the end of the day I walked past this shop that had an even bigger model MINI it was in BRG with a white roof and had $50 on it... altho there was a sign saying that there was money off these models...

I'll post pics up so you can have a sticky!

85NIXMIN · Feb 23rd, 2007, 01:44 AM

Here's my new baby... hope you like..

Enjoy!!!

twotwoz · Feb 23rd, 2007, 02:19 AM

Very cute!

85NIXMIN · Feb 23rd, 2007, 02:30 AM

Very... I'll have to take some pics of my 2 babies together...

I'm really surprised at the detail inside of it... most model cars don't normally worry too much but this one is really something
