Yo, baronious -- what's up with that, man ??!!

You look gooooooood

If I weren't already taken, mini-t would be all jealous and all scared and just sh*tting in her pants

That's right, mini-t, you ain't got nothin' on me . Nothin'!!! I'd steal your man away like that (me snapping my fingers)!!!

[Please read:I was just totally joking there. I, erik808, am straight, straight, straight. Not that there's anything wrong with that...]

Final Answer?

Erik808,

Are you selling or keeping your race wheels?

OK done.

Now what wheels are we gonna discuss?

Anyway you should just keep and use your wheels. They are good and will work for you.
Wear them out and plan ahead for more fun.

Eric, Since you'll have a few extra sets of tires/rims you don't want to crowd up your place-- you could begin placing them strategically around the island in case one of your dear MINI buddies pops a tire and is stranded. I'll volunteer for east side.
Still trying to figure out my track rims tires purchase, those in the know all have different thoughts. Looks like next track day & autocross will be on my trusty 17" SO3's.

Who needs cable when there's all you clowns postin' away on NAM Hawaii forum??

I'm visualizing Erik808 snappin' his fingers and flirting with baronious, while mini-t looks on with steam coming from her ears (not that there's anything wrong with that ) ...

and Beastmaster finally doing some actual racing at auto-x. Beastmaster, don't deprive me and all your devoted fans of the privilege of seeing you race in auto-x ... I'm leaving soon, remember??? My Hawaii experience won't be complete without seeing you do a run or three.

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming. Whatever that means here. :smile:

We need another thread

This is a good start from another thread-

"Hawaii MINI soap opera thread"

Make stuff up how you'd like to see it happen.
Strictly fiction of course.
Creative writting for enjoyment.
Cheap thrills.

Yah...that's soooo much fun. My friends and I used to do that at work. We'd start off with one sentence, and everyone would need to contribute an additional sentence to the story. By the end of the week, we'd meet up for pau hana drinks and laugh over our collaboration!

Ok..so back to the point of this thread. Beastmaster told me about a LY MCS at MoH the other day with matching LY Slites. I finally got a chance to see it! the wheels by itself looks weird...but together with the car was sooo cute! anyone know if those were powdercoated or painted? What shop?

What stories? I don't tell racing stories. The story I told was racing Tantalus in a EP car. 13 min 33 sec for the loop, but that was when I was young and foolish. I shall come out one day, but you gotta talk to my mechanic about that as he's been working on my car for about a year.
