Original Mini with 220hp Honda VTEC Engine?!

I’m in love with a car. This car:

220 horsepower original Mini!

My dad knows I’ve long had a thing about the original Mini, and he sent me the link to this article at Car & Driver where they take my dream car for a test drive. This thing is just flat insane, and it’s even in my favourite race-car colour! As Eric Cartman would say, “Kick Ass!”

    The Mini in this article looks absolutley AWESOME. I would love to build my own…but I don’t know how to go about it.
    I am in RSA and i don’t know where i could get a Mini (the classic one, not BMW MINI) to begin with.
    Is there any help for me?

    Yip, the Vtec Mini is also a dream of mine. Its AWESOME!!! I am already busy building/getting all the stuff for my conversion. But unfortunately it is a LONG and careful process (budget!!) If you look in the Junkmail (especially the Jhb edition) you will find quite a few minis. But you will have to be careful what price you pay. I bought my mini for less than R7000 three years ago. I saw this weekend a mini (same as mine) selling for R30000. Also a good place to look for minis is at mini events. Here is some pics of last year’s Mini@The Track event: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=5947&id=1269693036&l=9a493

    I love my Honda. And I don’t feel Honda’s response here was less than 100%.
