With brakes that big, who needs wheels !!

Just run a bmx tire with a tube on the perimeter of the rotor and you're set !! :hehehe:

Now THAT'S "Hand of God" stopping power!

Well, thankfully the engine's in the back, so you won't flip the car on it's nose every time you stop!

What the heck would a 10 piston caliper be used for?! You could probably set up a single inboard disk brake setup for our cars with that thing!

I don't recall the mini having a really large caliper. It may be 10 pot for more efficiency. Those minis are pretty cool. I was talking to a BMW dealer who has coffee at my local stop every morning. He has one of his own. I was looking it over with him as he was telling me some things about it. He said they are not allowed to mark them up, so they put about $1K of extras on them and charge $5K for the extras. He said the price will be coming down on them. Also he said he gets 35mpg. The doors and stuff really have a good quality feel to them.
