I've thought about that on/off for the past 4 years...never did feel that it was appropriate for a Mini...but don't tell that to Nitromini...

Thats cool. I thought about this, but being a college kid saving for a turbo build, that extra $15 is going else-where

Doug was able to re-machine my old "Benetton" **** and install one of his connecters. Feels great! I like the fact that it's about an inch taller than the ball ****.
Thanks Sid for the insperation and Thanks Doug for the awesome work!!

put some alcantara JCW in your car dude

i think if u put the alcantara JCW seats in your car , you will not slide as much as the leather ones.
my opinion is they are a lovely addon and i think there much cooler and original then leather.. but they are pricy though...(but u can afford )

What are your thoughts about finger grooves?

About 10:00 last night I finally got sick of working, so I goofed around with this a bit.
After 14 hours, everything else counts as MY time; so I get to do what I want!

Looks good, but a little small. Is it the same size as Sid's?

Yep, same size.

I should've have used white Delrin instead of black; that would make it look bigger.

[quote=jeffc;1789439]Doug did you have a early night?

Don't know why, but I woke up this morning feeling like someone had been dancing on my neck all night.

Then our well pump went out first thing this morning; and while the plumber was here pulling out the pump, someone walked in the shop with a rush job.

Now Wally has stolen my comfy chair, leaving me with the crummy plastic one.

Welcome to my world.

That happened to me last year of course I was in the shower and a my head full of shampoo. My wife used a gallon of water from the refrigerator and it gave me brain freeze and a headache I'd never forget.

Hey why didnt that cat kill that bird you had in the shop? I'd say Wally is a slacker

He wanted to.
The pigeon never came down that low. He actually spent the night sitting on the roof of my shop, then woke up and flew back home (I guess).

He does a real good job on the mice that come around at night. That's good enough for me.
