A special congrats to our own moderator, minihune, for having MINI of Hawaii's first featured MINI of the Month

New for 2004, MINI of Hawaii will feature their owner's MINI each month. How cool is that?!?

Check it out on MINI of Hawaii

 

Thanks.
Are there supposed to be pictures?

And
THE END TO A PERFECT DAY: Watching the sunset off "Magic" Island behind the windshield of my MINI.

 

Yeah.... I was trying to figure out where Mark Island was....

 

>>Thanks.
>>Are there supposed to be pictures?

Yeah, s'posed to be....haven't figured out how to link the whole page...my bad!!

>>And
>>THE END TO A PERFECT DAY: Watching the sunset off "Magic" Island behind the windshield of my MINI. Mahalo for the "correction"

 

Congrats, minihune !!

 

Congrats Minihune! Nice shot of your MINI!

 

:smile:

Sorry about the mis-print.

February is coming. Any votes on the next MINI of the month?

 

I dunno. minihune's MINI is one of the most modded MINIs in Hawaii and that would be hard to beat! Maybe HI-MINI's EB/Hawn Flag as that one is just as modded as minihune's. How's about Ruel's? He has a nice ICE system in his car.

What about a fastest MINI in Hawaii?

Also, you should have a link to pictures of the MINI of the month. One pic will not suffice. You should take pics of the interior and exterior at all angles, focusing on the mods that make the car "individual".

I think there are very many to choose from and they don't have to be performance mods. There are quite a few very nicely done MC MINIs out there.

>>What about a fastest MINI in Hawaii?
That's easy it's that electric blue MCS with the mean anthracite centerline RPM wheels and Milltek header/exhaust cruising around in Hawaii Kai. He has warp speed and is now just a blur on the radar screen.

The original idea was to have a bunch of pictures but due to some technical issues it did not work out so I will give you the quick and dirty photo slide show.

Quicksilver Cat-back exhaust tip,H-sport adjustable rear control arm
Rear suspension-H-sport springs/rear control arm, madness rear swaybar,SS brakelines

minihune,

Thanks for the links. Sweet car! I really like the look of Quicksilver exhaust!

===>My vote: Kohu'ulaMINI.

--Generous with his time and aloha with fellow motorers (this was before he became a MA)

--His MINI has nice custom touches all throughout (no arm & leg purchases)

--One of the top MINI autocross drivers (something money simply can't buy)

--Now a dedicated MA

--MINI glass: half full

*The car is just one component. It's the motorer-person that cuts out the buls***

 

I do like Kohu'ula's MINI. It looks great with the R90s on them. Hopefully, he's running the R90s today, cause it'll look so sweet on the track.

However, with him working at MoH, there could be screams of foul! That would be akin to having the fox guarding the hen house or the Gov. appointing her s.o. as the Attorney General. While they may be fully qualified for the position, people will always wonder.

What about Erik808's MINI? That would be nice for MoM. bgrpph, mini-t, tweety, crysis and even keithy all have nice MINIs. Heck, I can just hear keithy's MINI coming in from the Leeward side for the photo op! And I'm in Hawaii Kai. keikilee has a nice black MINI with the aero grille and it woudl be incentive for her to "shine 'em up".

 

>>I do like Kohu'ula's MINI.
I agree. Miniac is a great looking and driving MC with CVT.
Being part of the dealership automatically disqualifies him for MINI of the month.

We have no shortage of very nice MINIs.

For MC-
Erik808's all black fully modded MC built for speed.
Keikilani's all black MC built for looks.
Crysis' all black MC with Borla exhaust and engine upgrades
The pink custom painted MC
Carole Kai's -VR with cordoba leather interior and painted arches/aero side skirts

For MCS-
bgrpph- for knock your socks off power
keithy- for a great looking highly modded but balanced MCS
HI-MINI-A very highly modded MCS with roof flag
Tweety's MCS with all the tweetys for decoration-he even painted his brake calipers yellow!
Ruel's MCS-super mods plus a big sound system and custom window tint MINI logo
JasonY's new Black MCS -with Borla Race exhaust and dark silver painted arches and aeroskirts
kbseto's -Works MCS in BRG and roofrack
mini-t's DS MCS with custom wheels and more.

The list goes on and on. I know there are some very modded MINIs over on Maui and in Kona as well.
Maybe we should nominate a few and take a vote online in the next week.

 

"keikilee has a nice black MINI with the aero grille and it woudl be incentive for her to "shine 'em up"."

ok....ok.....Beastmaster.....I did wash my MINI today....I even waxed and polished it. Had to wake up extra early to do it....but didn't have a chance to dress the tires. Too lazy at this point! :smile:

"Keikilani's all black MC built for looks."

minihune....hopefully I'll be able to finish my exterior mods soon. I'd like it to literally be all-black, when that happens, I hope someone will nominate me for MINI of the Month. As for right now, my MINI looks pretty stock....no cause for nomination at this point.

I say for right now, my votes would go to Keithy's MCS....he's got a lot goodies on his MINI. He motors past my house all the time, and I can hear him from a mile away. I'd also vote for Erik808's MC....it's pretty pimp!

 

Good job, Keiki, but you're supposed to get a child slave to wash and wax your car. Hmmm, it's gonna be ALL black? Go for 5 % tint, powdercoat the wheels and get vanity plates that say DARTH or VADER or D.VADER. On one of the other boards, someone wanted euro plates that can have up to 9 letters. I told him to get X32 1ARO. This was an actual English plate that you have to read backwards. I believe it was on a Jaguar or a Rolls.

OMG!!! that is so funny. I'd probably get a lot of dates driving around with plates like that!
