Hello
My names Darren and i've always thought C5's were cool ever since seeing one driving round a mini show a few years back ( i'm a classic mini person
).
Over the past few days i've decided i fancy getting something old / classic to play with, with the intention of doing some modds on a limited budget and taking it down the black stuff. I was originally looking at reliant robins, but then i thought about a C5
Now i know that they arn't exactly known for their rapid acceleration and speed, but i thought maybe with a engine of some sorts underneath, and a bit of tweaking, it might be possible ... and raise quite a few eyebrows, although i don't really fancy playing around with jet engines
However, on looking around ( and looking at the face of my other half who thinks i'm mad
), i'm thinking it might be nice to get one and just keep and enjoy it as it is.
If someone out there has managed to transplant an engine into one, then it would certainly interest me, but on the other hand i can see myself taking a standard, legal one round the village
So if it's okay with you guys i think i'll keep popping in, ask a few questions, and maybe get to a meet one day
Darren
