Classic Mini's at AMVIV
 
Who is bringing your classic to AMVIV. I'm thinking about it but I don't know how she's going to get out there yet...

Mine will be here (of course). This year, there were about 15 classics that showed up.
MINIxB, as long as your seats and brakes hold up, you should be ok driving the MINI from MO. Especially if you convoy with some MINIs and bring a few essential spare parts. I drove mine from Cleveland to Vegas with only a suspension problem to deal with. Well, it was a pretty serious suspension problem, but I drove over 1000 miles with that broken rear subframe.

Sweet!! That's good to know. It sounds like a fun trip. I'm sure my seat will hold up (it's welded up in the broke posistion :roll: ) but the brakes still need a bit of work. A tad to hard.

Too hard is MUCH better than too soft when it comes to brakes.

You know I read this thread last week and actually considered bringing my classic out. The crazy ideas I come up with.

Agro Jan 7, 2008 05:47 PM

Come on...you know you want to!
The classics attract tons of people to your vendor booth you know!

I just can't see driving it. It took me 30hrs in the race car, can't imagine how long it'd take in the classic with no A/C or cruise.

Agro Jan 9, 2008 09:36 AM

You don't need AC in March, and I don't know the specs of your classic, but mine was happy cruising at 80 the whole trip except for going uphill from Denver to Vail. Indy is a shorter drive than Cleveland.

AC, what's AC??
Does it have anything to do with keeping your beer cold?
You just have to drink faster before it gets too warm :nod: .

Going across Texas, it was a one to one ratio, one bottle of beer in me and one bottle of water pour over me.
I was one happy camper when we got to Dallas, maybe that's how I got that tattoo.

Nice Norm. But that Mini still has chrome on it!

mini pooper Jan 11, 2008 09:00 AM

Andrew,

Pynt Syz is in the body shop having an "extreme makeover". Will be done in time for AMVIV5. Pooper will have a new look as well.

Agro Jan 11, 2008 09:41 AM

New look? There's not much left to convert to black, unless you're putting a limo tint on the windshield.

Nope, doesn't look like it.
Have to have surgery on my hands.
Just can't keep her on the road right now, too painful.

Going to save her for REME's "Magical Mystery MINI Tour"
in San Francisco this coming Sept and/or MTTS 08' :thumbsup: .

But, I'll be there with Drop, she won Fireball Tin's Best Antenna Thingie Award last year.

It's going to be cool seeing all the classic there.

TTFN & keep your beer cold,
Keith:grin:

If I can get the Tow bar made in time I will be bringing my Pick Up.

Don't know if I will have time to drive it though.
