When a Cooper is no longer Mini

[Escape08]

FALKEN tires ???? the owner should have purchased COOPER tires to match the car.

And the fabricator used a higher-line Cooper S body to fit to that chassis..

You’d need dental work after two blocks on the ST Maxx

Kinda funny since this guy has no respect for the people following him.

not even legal have to have wheels enclosed.

Maybe where you live. This wouldn't get a second look here by LE.

Same here - wheels sticking out of vehicle - rim sticking out of tire

but where did you have BBQ in Austin, and how was it????

La Barbecue, Austin, TX

Us northerners don't understand what great Barbecue is until we visit Texas. Last trip was Franklin's, this trip it was La. Both are completely amazing, but I would put Franklin's just a smidge above La. Franklin's seems to be the best of the best. My $0.02

Common lifted JEEP mod is to take the fenders off. Someone makes a flat filler piece that covers the mounting surface for that factory look.

I was just visiting Iceland and they know how to stance 4x4’s. I was seeing these everywhere. The fender flares look OEM on all these vehicles.

Same here, if it is a law it's not enforced.

The flares are very nicely fit Finklejag. I also like the mini since it's not all trashed out compared to some of the chop jobs I see on the streets.

In NH that vehicle would get rejected for inspection sticker because wheel width exceeds original spec and the fender is not extending out.

I don't feel right about taking a picture of someone else's car, including the license plate, and posting it on the internet. Just courtesy to the owner.

Some think you can find the address of the owner with it.

I say again, unless you are a cop running plates...

Still though, sometimes you see it blotted, I presume out of respect for owner to eliminate any possibility of (some people know cops and can run it as "random" or just enter it in. State and tag.)

Is that a Federal law? Because this is in Texas...

its state by state most are no more than 1 or 2" beyond fenders. (typo in org post I meant to say not enclosed)
Possibly legal in texas. I cant seem to find a full chart.

"Wheel poke" seems to find some good google results but nothing great(like a chart)

Did you get back on the road ? - seeing a tornado watch - going to be some nasty T-storms regardless …

They haven't been too bad. Just wind and rain so far.

Pretty cool looking Mini to cruise on paved roadways.
