Wow! that is cool.
Won't be getting any hate on this forum for the engine choice.
Really like the styling on it, nice body kit and wheels.

No, that's not a Mini.

The owner, wanting to recreate the fixed 50:50 front/rear torque split of the old Audis from the golden era of rallying, got rid of the clutch pack and replaced it with a solid ring gear, which he machined out of a billet. The result is full-time 4WD.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but shouldn't it have either clutchpack or centre diff?  :huh:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

That is  :cool: Theres a guy near me who's got a mini with a Civic Type R engine in it and that is mental to say the least  :shocked:
Love Minis though, wish I had never let mine waste away  :cry:
