danshome Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Oh, and I forgot to mention... a cheap car that you can easily mod is the new Mini. It's got a surprisingly powerful engine in it which, with a ?750-odd on-board software upgrade gives it 30% more power... on a tiny car, it's pretty impressive...

danshome Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 but what happens when you crash it? its kinda tiny The new Mini's got a fairly good safety record. Mind you, the service centre is likely to throw a fit if they find out that you've modded the software. But then the Cooper is about 5 grand more, so...
