Default yeh.. rode in this today. *pics

thing is great. 1961 Mini. my friend (guy in the pics) met this guy last night at the bar and asked him if he wanted to go to a car show today. he agreed, we met up at his house and brought his '79 porche 330 (i think), his '60 somethin BMW 2002 and the mini. he just let us drive it out to the show after meeting us for the first time the other night. we had to leave the show before him, so he told us to just drive back and leave it at his house

mini is a 4 speed, doesnt really go over 70, its liek a damn go-cart.

i didnt have my camera at the show unfortunatly, but i snapped these when my friend dropped me off.

cant wait to get the girl on it h:

No such thing as a Porsche 330.

Was it a 911 Turbo? Because the original '76-'79 911 Turbo is also known as the 930.
