Yeah, Ive looked at the cup racer, I just can't justify a new car. I have a special place for the old belt drive. I already have an RS4 spart (pieces) and a fully tricked out RS4 Rally. Many of the parts for the Mini carry over.
I may go that route if I can't find one, but sorta like the 1:1 car goes as the value goes down after its off the lot. I'm hoping someone has one just lying around collecting dust I can pick up for around $100.
