This is the most recent build from my 2nd cousin Graeme Wight - The GWR Mini.






















And here's a wee video of it in testing today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FsY_GfLJi4&feature=share

I was thinking the exact same thing, if he doesn't fit mudflaps or something that lovely paint will be ruined in no time

Yeah, I believe I've posted a few cool things in the past

Well there is his racing Imp...



And he bought a super rare Hillman California not to long ago. Not entirely sure what's in store for this one...

Come on mr Blukoo, show us something you have done/achieved, usually seem to post on behalf of your dad, your brother, a friend, a customer.

Its a bit weird to me, like one of them people who says "my mate has this" or "yeah my mate did that".

My life isnt that interesting to be honest. Nothing worth posting about. Not when its car related anyway.

My life is mainly photography and drink related lol.

Figured this was a car forum so people would like to see regardless of who built it...

You been out to the pub tonight?

Sorry, I've just been going by what I've been told, and that is the fact that they are pretty rare.

According to the http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/ website (which I know can be questionable) there are only 40 taxed for the road.

Regardless, it's not normally something you're gonna park up next to while parking in Tesco's car park.

Yea i was at the pub lol sorry... And we were losing

Yea not many at all on the roads... Imps tend to be mostly in farmers sheds ect - the bloke who had mine had atleast 6 scrappers and 12 mint ones - singer chamois are also more rare than the standard imp super

What you need to do is fit £2000-2500 wheels on your passat, then lower it on £400 coilovers and you could be godly in certain circles.
