vids of first drive in Ls1 mini cooper

Well, just like the title says- this was the FIRST time that the car moved under its own power!

Nice, I've always wanted to see a built Mini.
Do you have a build thread or any build pics?

Now lets see someone build a new LS mini.

That is always quite the feeling. I remember your other pics, awsome car.

Seeing it drive down the road I keep expecting to hear an ah oouga horn and see 20 clowns climb out.

I showed the burnout video to my wife -

Her: "That's not the same kind of engine you're putting in your car?!??"

(Meaning that someone couldn't possibly have put a beefy V8 into something that small)
Me:

"Yeah, it pretty much IS!!"

Too cool man.
