It's a '67 EZ Camper panel conversion. I get "waves" no matter which one I drive!

Off topic, but

I just got an Obrea Onyx all carbon road bike. This thing puts a smile on my face faster and to a greater extent then my Mini on steep curvy descends in the canyons around here. A real plus is that I will be able to fit my skinny old but in the Mini's seat without having to wiggle it into place, exercise rules!

was: '98 Mitsu Eclipse GSX (turbo AWD)
soon to be (hopefully) for track work: E30 325i and the first mod will be an engine swap (the engine is shot, so I figured it'd be a good one to buy)
also considering for the future (whenever I cone across one) a late 80s early 90s Toyota pick-up aka Hilux... anyone know of one for sale?

2001 Ford Excursion 4x4 Powerstroke
2005 MCSc - BRG w/ Black top

Some mods to the Excursion, but the MINI is still stock (for the moment). The MINI is for nice weather, and the Excursion for bad weather and towing the larger toys. The MINI tows the kayak trailer just fine.

The ones in the photo below aren't actually mine. This was part of a promotional campaign that MINI ran when they started bringing the MINI to the US.

Happy Motoring,
- Jim L

Just traded in my 05 Mustang GT convertible on an 08 Clubman S. Don't know how I lived without bluetooth, a USB and AUX IN jack all my life. Best options I ever had in a car....

The Clubman (my new DD) joins my old DD, an 03 Cooper S with 125k miles!

Second car is a 1988 Jeep Comanche 4wd pickup truck. Runs great, looks like crap. Need to fix surface rust and paint it. But every time I get the money to do so, my MCS finds something new she likes and there goes the money for the Jeep.

Well, just payed off my MCS so I've gotten the itch to buy a 2nd toy to play with in the slow, tight twisties and decided to get this before summer. Something nice for a more open air riding experience.

My second car?

For now I have to settle for this-

Not bad.
Usually I can still have a good time driving.
Even though it's NOT a MINI.

Most of the time I have to trade off with my son to be able to drive the MINI.
