Does anyone has a link to Aamir's FS thread? or any link to the photo-shoot he had of the car?

Last time i talked to him, he has started it for the first time in a few years... Dry stored in a garage.

Correct me if im wrong Benn, but didnt he have someone seriously interested it in? Supposedly anyway....
Benn

No clue, i remember test pilots but not much else...
Pete
14-05-12, 10:01 PM
Fair enough. Lovely car, in a way im glad he still owns it as it means its still being looked after :)
Benn
14-05-12, 10:02 PM

Pete

Wheels look like they fit to perfection if they're that close and it still drives OK!

Edd means theyre not 12" steels that look like they should be on a mini, and theyre not lost inside the arches somewhere you can hardly see, like most standard sports lol

lol I meant it looks like he has had to butcher the rear arches to fit a set of wheels, a big no no imo

Spud, when did I say I like 12 inch steelies ? lol
Pete

He had this up for sale on Edition38 with the title line "the best nova in the world". Wanted lots of pennies for it.

They wrote it in a mag so it must be the best nova in the world! What a douchebag!
Pete
16-05-12, 09:14 PM
idiot... all hes doing is quoting what the mag had said......

Redline had my Mini in an issue for the UKs Best Beemers. I wouldn't dream of advertising it for sale or describe it in public as one of the UK's Best Beemers or Mini's (as it was the only one featured in the issue)
Pete

But thats down to your preference, Aamir obviously thought it would help with his sale by stating what a published magazine had said about it. Hes not claimed it himself, merely stating.....

Because modified Minis arent exactly an uncommon sight. Modified Novas (to the standard of Aamirs, not your average chav wagon BTW) are not that common.

And as stated, its down to personal preference. It, IMO, is one of the standout Novas.

IIRC, his arches are rolled but that's all.

The Air filter was removed for the shoot only...
