Fun Factor.
I'm back again with another take on the GOAT Kart, the classic Mini Cooper S. Famously way more fun than any spec sheet would suggest, the Cooper S is the very embodiment of the outrageous fun to be had by driving a slow car fast.
This design sits one plate lower than the 2019 TLG design, and thanks to a panel-based floor pan trap inspired by the 4w community, a minifigure can sit a full two plates lower than the TLG model, as low as possible while still being able to secure the roof overhead.
Despite having some light stance and an offset wheel-tire setup, this design rolls smoothly and displays great. 2x6 tiles are used for the roof creating a rear spoiler overhang, and the roof can also be built with no overhang if that look is preferred.
I hope you enjoy!

Assembling relatively smooth considering the parts were a mix of modern and vintage stuff. I had several issues; The bottom bracket was a bit big for the frame. The headset was a bit small. The fork wanted a bigger crown race then the headset supplied. The dropouts were too tight for the wheels. The seat post clamp is too big. After a bit of grinding and persuasion everything fit pretty well.
The interior was the first thing that set me off to this car's non-standard drivetrain, noticing the modern(ish) Nissan steering wheel.
