I seen the coolest rat look Mini ever the other day!!! It was driving through Blackrock as I was drooling over it and I was determind to find out were it lives and I did! It up the road from Bakers corner in a drive sitting beside another Mini with 1380 sprayed across the grill and a matt black Defender...

It a 97, its half red and primer, has a wooden looking roof rack and has group 2 archs that are pretty much rubbing the top of the tyres!

I have a picture but its to late to be playing with wires and such!
