That's the last car anyone who knows you would pick out of a line-up as belonging to you. I love it.

Coming at it from the other end, what's the least successful use of minilites (or mini-likes) that you've come across...?

Going to be hard to beat...

Seeing as the Japanese version is rather unrepresented in here:

AE86:









240Z(?)



KPGC10 Nissan Skyline:





RA28 Celica:





Now onto the unsure / disasters.

BMW Z4 - a big NOPE from me:



Porsche 911 - not sold on this, it's not awful though:



FC RX7 - not terrible, not great though:



And one for the guy who likes dish on his Minilites:

They were a necessity because one of the design features of the Minilite is the ability to aid brake cooling, and the Met were having massive brake overheating problems with the Rover 2600's, hence the mass buy of Minilite Sports rim for the SDI fleet.

Silver MX5 belongs to a chap called Mick. Looks quite a bit different now, still got the wheels on though.
