This is a Mini I´ve had for some years now. It started out as a Mini Cooper Racing which I raced and drove it for some time till the body was completely shot. I bought a new body for it and put it on the shelf where it sat for nearly a year before I finally gave it some attetnion again. I got this body shown here with all the parts of ebay. The wheels are Tamiya alloy 4-spokes which have been stripped and repainted to match the car. The photos have been desaturated to suit the the cars paintjob. But in reality it isn´t much more colorful. :-)

very nice work! wonderful pictures. I have recently been looking at this model myself and think it would make a great runner. How is it to drive?

Really smart looking! The colours, wheels and tires work together really well. Driver figure would be a cool addition.

Thanks for your great comments.
@Lancia: The M03 chassis is great to drive. I really like it. @Winniez: A driver figure would be nice. I´ll see if I find one because I don´t like those cables being visible through the windows.

Nice pics ... did you change the focal field depth with the camera or processing? ...

Thanks, It´s all done with the camera. The only thing done by post processing is the colors and contrast. I used a 50mm lens with a max aperture of 1.8 allowing a very small depth of field.
