That's one awesome looking mini and quite a feat!!
I'll tell you what though, there is certainly some flack from the viewers about the mini not really being a mini rather it's a frame with a totally different drive train with a mini body on top - I don't think that is the case and frankly I don't care. But there are some real dip shits out there - comments like "if this is a mini then my subaru must be a ferrari" are quite uneducated as to what can be done with a car AND retain the stock (read modified stock) drivetrain etc.
Awesome video - ruined for me from the stupid comments. People really are dumb and aren't afraid to show it
Cheers

There's that side of the argument (modified out of recognition side) But I think it's not really a MINI in the fact BMW have strayed so far from what the MINI was, now it's just a weird little SUV with a mini badge on it...but that's un-related...El_Freddo wrote:That's one awesome looking mini and quite a feat!!

When I first saw this I couldn't figure out how they got the front to tip up to get the rotation, nifty bit of ramp engineering there
The driver has some nerves of steel to attempt that.Will it ever end!?

Well if you look how long it's taken him to get there, I'd say he's had heaps of it ...
