What's the fun in that? I bought all my cars bone stock and modified them as time went on. It's a fun learning process that helps you understand the car much better than just reading about it. You get a better sense of pride when doing it yourself. I personally would never buy someone else's project because most of the time you're buying there head ache.

your low postcount and post raised everybody hackles, nothing more. There's been a rash of trolls trying to discredit Jan/RMW of late. Heck, 2 or 3 in the last month alone...one a longstanding member (and customer of Jan's, well...sort of) who posted under an alter ego.

Drama for drama's sake at times I think. I just don't understand, otherwise, why some don't just call Jan, he's a friendly guy that will answer many of your questions.

I think Charger made the mistake of trying to school the "professor" and ended up actually learning some good lessons about how Minis are actually different than Motorcycles, imagine that.
