BoBo needless to say got a little bit of fresh air
Too funny! It's a good thing no one tried to steal you car though, what with Bobo's arm being stuck in the trunk lid!

WOW Gabe! You're "profile'in" there! The pix almost make it look like there'll be sparks coming off those OZ's at any moment!
AGREED! Gabe it looks like you could have been running another 8lbs of pressure on your tires, could have had a serious incident if that rim would have dug in!

That was 36lbs in the front - cold. That was dropped from the 38 (cold) I had most of the weekend. Rather conservative based on my track and autox experience. I was just really pushing

Haha yup, probably should have been up to 40-42 easily on those low pro's. Glad nothing happened.

Of course, I meant you could have probably started 42 cold.

I saw that GT on 129 as I was heading up through Maryville to Knoxville Sunday morning! Damn near hit aother car 'cause I was rubbernecking so bad!

Strangely, I have one that looks just like it....in GT4.

Finally joined up to this great site you have here.

I'm not a MINI owner. I have a '99 Saturn SL2 and just wanted to say thanks to everyone at the dragon for a great weekend and that I had a blast hanging out with everyone and seeing some great MINI's.

I came up with my brother (SB) and the Rocket City MINI Club. Thanks to those guys for allowing me to hangout with them as well for the weekend.

I got a few pics from the weekend and wanted to post them up for everyone.
http://saturncraze.net/dragon%20may%202007/ You'll have to deal with quite a few pics of my car though.

I hope to do this again next year with you all. Although I will still be in a Saturn.

Very nice SL, Jegster. I have a 2000 SL1 that is just biding its time until I get a MINI. You've done quite a lot to your car. The SL is a very light platform, and I'm sure you are getting some good performance from it.
