Hot and Spicy Chili Red Mini Cooper

This is a 1995 Mini Cooper. The car was recently repainted in chili red, the color of the hottest heat. Now it’s even dazzling with chrome wiper, body-colour matched wide wheel arches, 13-inch Sportspack wheels, two strong and bright front spotlights, and the iconic white bonnet stripes. Well, look at the photos again and it could be nicer with chrome washer set as well as windscreen chrome fillet. The design of this car is common in classic Mini world but it often wins a lot of flashlights from camera in any Mini events, convoy, or gathering.

A different way to fix the door to your Mini

If you feel boring with the ordinary way to open your car door, why not try something like this? This Mini (probably a MK5) is spotted in the UK during a car event. Everything looks normal except the MK1 door hinges is fitted the other way round. It catches a lot of flashlights from different cameras because the yellow door looks a little bit odd. Well, at lease it is something special. DO try this at home.

Mini rollover, eat some mud, and back on road again

Before the rollover crash

A red color Mini had a rollover accident during a classic Mini convoy from Kuala Lumpurto Pahang last year. The driver is believed lose control and leave the roadway and crashed in the canyon that is about three meters deep. He did not get pinned in the car and he is managed to get out from the car. A tow truck was there to tow the car out from the mud. No injuries occurred as a result of the accident.

As for the poor red Mini, it received some dents on the body as well as front bumper and the left rear side windscreen was broken. Other than that, no major damage except it’s all covered with mud especially the left door panel. Thanks to the strong engine sump guard, the engine did not damage at all. Stainless steel Aston fuel cap locked the petrol tank tight too. The car just start after it is being “landed” again.

Owner of the red Mini drove the car few hundred miles again after the incident. Now that’s the spirit of Malaysia Mini Drivers! The rest of the story can be read from the 14 photos shared here taken from Rudy Harris.

A day for Fiat 500 to get together

The cute little car Fiat 500 was first introduced by Fiat in July 1957 as the Nuova (means new in Italian). It was designed by Dante Giacosa. With only ~10 feet long and ~4+ feet wide, it is a very practical car to be used in town because it doesn’t require a powerful engine. The Fiat 500 is originally powered by a highly fuel saving 479 cc two-cylinder engine, giving a very decent horse power to bring four adults from one place to another. The outlook of this 2-door car is cute with chubby face. Owners do not have to worry about carrying large item because it has a full-length sunroof where large item can be carried by the car easily.

Cute cars, cute girls.

Cute cars, hot girls.

That’s Sexy! Both cars and girls.

These pictures are shared by Amendola Massimo from Italy. It was a huge gathering for all the Fiat 500 to get together. There are some Ferraris join the crowd too!
