I'm glad you finally sold your MINI! My parents used to drive an Insight for about 18 months and traded it in for a new 4 cyl. Accord EX...So my question is: are you driving the Insight to the MOTD 2008?

When are you putting all of your old mods up for sale?

WOW! That's truly an alteration of vehicular lifestyle!

Life without a MINI... Seems implausible to me!

Something tells me though that you will be back in a MINI soon enough! Once a MINI owner, always a MINI owner.

Good luck though with the Honda.

Yeah, I kinda railed the dealership on the trade in. No airbags and the CEL was on, and the guy who apraised it didn't even notice. I heard the used car manager had a **** fit when he saw the car!!!


I left most of the mods on the car, I left the header, the exhaust, interior mods, etc etc etc, on the car.

I got a few small things off of it, and you will probably see them in the marketplace in the not so distant future.


Well, now that i'm getting 700 miles or so to a 10 gallon tank, and I can go to the Dragon and back on a tank and a half of gas, As long as I have time, i'll be down there to hang out this year for sure!!!

Nah, i'm done with MINI's.

I bought the car thinking I could get a certain level of performance out of it, and now that I see, its not worth my effort, I can get power out of other cars for less money, I think I will go other routes.

I have a 96 Civic Hatch that will be getting a built motor in it this winter that will be my new race car.

Until MINI comes out with something thats worth my wild, or I can get a used S for under $8500 bucks, I think i'll stick to Hondas.
