I'm sure a lot of Europeans won't have a problem distinguishing this car, however, what a mod!

Thats quite an interesting looking Mini and based on the blower... a supercharged V8 mini...

edit: looking at it some more, and the "3d studio" graphic on the side, I think this is computer generated... still rediculious though

It ain't a Mini :laugh:
It's German production - East German to be exact. Can't give you any more hint than that.

I have a strong urge to give out the answer... but I'll wait a day.

But if you see the original car, compared to this one, damn! - It's like the difference between heaven and hell.
