Mini Cooper Computer
I took a remote controller 1/6 scale Mini Cooper, stripped out the back seats and replaced them with computer parts. Wires and connections come in through the trunk of the vehicle, as well as the dvd disc drive. The trunk can be closed for transport and open when running. The remote control car still functions, the power and signal lights are now the power and hard drive lights.
