The next project Mini - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Finally a Mini Moke will be terrorizing the streets of Bucks County. These things are commanding stupid amounts of cash these days, but my friend Jodi bought it anyway. I get to pick it up and build it. It is always fun when someone else funds the project.

Anyone up for a road trip next week??

I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. Pretty damn cool.

pearl · 07-18-2008, 12:49 PM

bahaha that thing is wild looking

**TROLL** · 07-18-2008, 12:49 PM

damn, thats really a $10k car? damn... crazy mini owners.
congrats on the pickup though, i know you were interested in getting this one.

poolmike · 07-18-2008, 12:56 PM

This one is original and rot free. The restored cars pull $15-20K all day long. This one needs $200 in paint supplies and an afternoon to make a huge difference.

10ft long, 4ft 3in wide, 4ft 8 in tall, roughly 1100 lbs. The smallest most nimble Mini out there. All it needs is that 1100cc motor that is in my garage.

It is going to be fun.

Stillen GLE · 07-18-2008, 01:10 PM

that should be cool good luck.

O'Doyle · 07-18-2008, 01:18 PM

That is awesome. I have never even seen one of those before.

**Ender81** · 07-18-2008, 02:08 PM

grimm · 07-18-2008, 03:01 PM

pearl · 07-18-2008, 03:02 PM

poolmike · 07-18-2008, 04:57 PM

CleanNeon98 · 07-18-2008, 05:25 PM

Wow American Mike, that looks like a helluva project lol

461_SS · 07-18-2008, 06:20 PM

Can't wait till i see this thing cruising around richboro! Does it have vtec?

poolmike · 07-28-2008, 06:17 AM

The Moke arrived yesterday, delivered by.....

Peter, the Jamaican man that I could hardly understand

Of course we immediately took it for a blast around Richboro

My nephew, Tyler demonstrating how lightweight the car is

My check list is to replace all of the light lenses, go over the brakes, and throw some 12" Minilites on there. This car is like a street legal golf cart and handles like it is on rails. I will definitely have some fun with it before letting my friend Jodi take it.

zilvia240 · 07-28-2008, 08:26 AM

wow that is unique!

Proven · 07-29-2008, 04:37 PM

M.J.H. · 07-31-2008, 10:16 AM

O'Doyle · 07-31-2008, 10:52 AM
