Can't blame you. Such a fun car to drive.
Here's my C500 Cooper S tearing through Green Hell:

I'm loving that livery you have in the first post, is it available on the store front?

05XR8 · Dec 12, 2015

I believe I have shared it. I'll check.

I love how every paint looks totally authentic for the car's era. Are they genuine liveries or your own design? Either way, they look spot on.

Out of my 24 Cooper '65s, some are based on club racers I've watched race at Sydney Motorsport Park. Some are original.
The ones with more detail are as close to the authentic liveries as I can get.

I'll contribute. I need to take a pic of my 2nd one too.

05XR8 · Jan 12, 2016

Nice classic stripes.

Heldenzeit · Jan 12, 2016

I think I'll try my hand at an original design. The red car I just downloaded. Maybe yellow?

05XR8 · Jan 13, 2016

Yellow Mini's look good.

Heldenzeit · Jan 18, 2016

Ended up with this goofy salmon color. I made the design public if interested.

05XR8 · Jan 18, 2016

The car has so much character, there is no limit with colour scheme. I like it.

Just made this

Fully tuned with a supercharger and has a rear wheel drive swap.

All you'd need is a widebody kit. 👍

I had a '71 Morris Mini 1000 in red back when I lived in England in 1982-1984. I loved that little car. I have an idea for some snazzy 1960s paint schemes. Give me a few days.

Cool! Make it happen. :cheers:

I'm actually searching for a Mini. I held off getting a 2016 MX-5 because, I'll spend a similar amount buying and prepping one to enjoy at the track and leisure. I'm getting one. Hence, building my virtual collection.
