So I saw a lot of 4 of these for a reasonable price recently, so I decided to get them to customize since that's been on my mind for a while now, and I have plans for all 4 of them. :trouble: I have a pretty large obsession for this particular casting, and there's a long story behind why I do as well.

And just today, I got these! :) After being astounded by the black Mini Cooper's performance with FTE's I posted above, I just had to get another so I could swap the base and wheels onto one of those yellow Mini Coopers because I wanted at least one to be very fast. So I did, and I intend to do just that with this one, and in return, the black ones will get the set of 5SP's from the yellow one, which will be cool to see since it never came with those wheels.

Shipping for that Mini Cooper was pretty expensive, though, but the seller did combine shipping. So I decided to get the Engineering Edonis because if it's going to be expensive to ship, might as well make it worth the price. Not just that, but I really like this casting, and I haven't had another one of these in 20 years, so I felt it was time that finally changed. Plus, I wanted to add another to my FTE collection because after seeing how much better that black Mini Cooper was with these wheels, it has encouraged me to track down more of them.

Very happy to have all of these, especially since I haven't had some of them again in MANY years! Expect a lot of new customs from me soon, whenever I can find the time! :)
