Does anybody have these any pictures in High-res?

coincidence.... it was jst on 5th Gear (trying to fill my slight craving for Top Gear)

I gotto say, it sounds brilliant, but £35K is a hefty sum to pay for a Mini.......

I agree, I'd pay alot for a sound like that, but 35K is just pushing the boat out a little too much.

But still, 100 extra BHP could help you forget how much you paid for it.

Well... 260bhp is quite a nice slice in a Mini... but the price still isnt justified, its just too much in my eyes. Yeh, if it was 4WD and 300bhp with the same price tag, you would probably double the interest in it. I think thisll be just one of those cars to drool over the pictures (and sound clip), but nothing more.....

True..

I can see 260 BHP being a bit of a hand full in a FWD Mini. That is unless they have had a total re-work of chassis and suspension. Which is why I would like some high-res shots and a few statistics..

Anyone help???

If you think of this car only in terms of performance you're completely missing the point.

For FFX owners he's right on the mark

So Im actually forking out £35,000 for a tricked out Mini that looks cool and is exclusive? The 5th Gear test summed it up for me well, no one except other Mini owners turned to look at it, so if it doesnt cut it from the outside, it needs to have something a bit more substantial under the bonnet!! I agree that they have put a lot of work into the looks without making it look Fast&Furious, but its still a Mini.

5th Gear is s**te.

Their review of the Radford Mini was s**te. (like anyone was going to notice a Mini in the middle of London ffs!)

The Radford Mini is s**te.

I suspect that the appeal of the original was that it looked fairly standard, not like a reject from the pages of Lax Power.

I suspect, as a result of its "ram-raided Halfords" looks, the only people this is going to appeal to is footballers, and people like that poor excuse for a presenter; i.e. people who are closer to 40 than 14, but want to look like a boy-racer.

As far as I know, it's all about the interior and the exclusivity. At £35,000 there aren't going to be that many...

Frankly, your ability to be reasonable is..."s**te"
