Great Pics. The water to air setup sure looks like the RMS deal Randy was looking into. Finished product looks pretty good. Did anyone get any info on the setup. Also was it on someone's car or a car MINI brought in. Thanks

As for the intercooler. It looks like they put a sprayer on the intercooler so they could cool it down better than just having air rushing over it.
That pic of the steering wheel was out of a production car.

That was someone's personal car. When I snapped the pic, the owner was not around, so I could not get any info.

No, I did not get a chance to talk with any of them. Looks like they really have a lot of fun!

How did you get to do the IJ event? Did you ride along with someone or have your own car?

My bro and I bought a 1969 Morris Mini pickup outside of London and drove that.

Nice pictures,,,

we will try load ours once we get back to the US. still wandering around Rome and staying in a beautiful place right on top opf Trevi Fountain..

At MINI UNITED we had the chance to meet and talk at lenght to one of the two US drivers Brad Davis who is actually a MINI Dealer in SC. We need as Mini Club to get back to him and his wife about the huge MINI event in July. as expected the German won - no surprises here- the most exciting was the race with the same MINIs that took place the day after with the Italian driver who passed winning the race during the last lap.

I was also like to drive a Mini of an Italian friend on the circuit - I wish I had my Little One....

As far as food goes... nice pictures posted... sorry we are busy eating instead.. Katie James alredy tried the Tartufo in Piazza Navona ( I don't like chocolate so I stick with normal Gelato)

Back to the States in a few days....

<-- That's what I did when I looked at those pictures. I have NEVER in my life seen so many MINI's. That rocks like a mother. And that picture of the road in Italy another x 1284192831023 Simply breathtaking with the snowcapped mountains in the background. Unbelievable!

Those pics are great!

lastrega, we can't wait for your pics to upload!

the Russian Group

The picture of the blue MINI is one of the three MINIs who travelled from Moscow to MISANO. The three cars and drivers stayed at our Hotel in Cattolica and we got to be good friends with all of them... drinking fantastic Vodka (ask James for details.) They actually won the price for the longest distance drove to MISANO. We exchanged clubs ideas and experiences and DCMM logo is now in one of the MINIs.

See you guys in a few days....

PS: we just purchased a new toy : MINI Race Track: One MINI COOPER S that becomes a racing track for 4 small MINIs ..

Mini United on Road and Track website

--Have a gander everybody! The Mini United event in Misano Italy is covered with lotsa photos on the Road and Track website.

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=2900

It even has a couple of pics of the new JCW GP kit.



Awesome pics! I hope I get to go to one of these someday. It would be cool to coincide one of these events with a Motogp race. One day...
