That's what the mute button in the upper left was for.

Didn't see it, but it doesn't matter. My point was if you want to sell something, make it appealing to see what you're selling. I think sites that blast audio when you enter them are a huge turn off. It's easier for me to go away than to look for an off button (which never looks the the same nor located consistently), and that's what I almost always do.

Don't worry about it. I don't care. I'm not looking to buy the car. My comment was about nothing more than trying to help make it appealing to potential customers. I'll butt out and unsubscribe from the thread.

The best dash of all time!!!!! The link doesn't do the car justice though...by the way, I have that song in my collection.

Anyone interested in a vtec Mini should seriously consider this car - top, TOP notch and a bargain considering what I have into mine OR what you'd pay someone to do for you. As long as the bugs are worked out, the new owner should be deep in love.

I thought Jose was better than an old Prince song. Now I want to think of it as "the car formerly known as Jose".

Thx for the observation mini. The owner drove all weekend and continues say the car is a blast to drive. All the bugs have already been worked out so the new will have years of joy ahead of him/her.

All the image transitions and effects make it impossible to focus on the car. If it were $3500, that would be one thing, but on a $35K car, I want big, clear photos showing every last screw with NO distractions. As it is, this sort of looks like a 14 year-old girl's MySpace page. That's fine and all, but it would make me extremely wary if I were the kind of buyer I think you're looking for.

Just a suggestion...

Exactly.......not a 35K site by any means.

Looks to be a nice car, but way to difficult to really see the car.

I've suggested a new photo shoot to the owner, but we have not scheduled it yet.

Meno, the highest offer has been 25k cash but the owner says he's in no rush to sell.

Yeah, 25 is not enough from all of the photos I've seen. Mike at Seven Enterprises saw that car at MMW this year and complimented it quite nicely. Naturally he thought of me when he saw it. I hope the builder won't have regret once it's gone...that would be a tough one to let go.

Oh, by the way, is it revinned? Just joking....
