more crap
Quote: A crappy movement???

I'm not certain I'm eligible for Team Craptastic but I'd like to be... I have a 2005 MCS automatic - was going to get the JCW package but got tired of waiting for it to be released for the auto. So I got JCW injectors and a JCW exhaust, along with other non JCW mods like the Alta intake and 17% pulley and MTH Tuner software. Am strongly considering the JCW suspension but probably not the JCW brake kit. Going to do the Endyn head and a cam as well, but don't tell the wife that.

And the JCW hat...I definitely want the hat...
More like a B movment.......

Nothing wrong with an automatic..... You can add as much crap as you want.... you won't need a note either...

So did you notice them being kinda spongee when you first put them on? When I had mine installed for the first couple hundred miles it felt like I had hardly any brakes (like you had air in the lines) and once they seated, those crappy brakes sure took hold.

They look good with those wheels. Gotta love that crap!

Have you had a BM, W moment?

Driving along with that expensive piece of crap I Pod listening to Kate Smiths Greatest Hits.....

Your wife's birthday dinner: Lets go to Wal-Mart for an orange aid & a hot dog..

Watching QVC you buy the entire collection of Zamfier and his pan flute..

After an impulse buying spree, the next day you wake only to find you bought everything your next door neighbor has in his yard sale...

Have you thought about taking your Mini fishing?

Do you have a lust for Ronco products?

Do you think????

Thanks, they do feel a little spongy at first, but once they grab you can really tell the difference in the bite.

Tried to find a picture for our new $22.00 bill ( maybe the new bill should include 5% sales tax $23.10).
http://www.theplumber.com/crapper.html this was all I found.
It would be fitting to have money that represents the crap we buy.
Just a thought....

My friend (who has a non-craptastic MCSC) made me a few Team Craptastic items including a car flag and t-shirt. It was the crappiest birthday present ever.

Maybe, but the problem is there is one, maybe two, trademarked logos inside the Team Craptastic logo. I'll tell him there is some demand so maybe there will be unofficially a few unofficial TC items available at the Dragon.

Keep this in mind:

(1) Motoring File was originally BridgerMini

(2) Webb Motorsports was originally MiniMotorSports

(3) North American Motoring was originally Mini Coopers Online

Ever wonder why they changed their names?

Think the good Fraus and Herrs at BMW are not just a little overzealous about the use of their name and trademarks?

Start copying the JCW logo onto shirts and bumper stickers (plastered across an animated turd to boot) and find out!

Knock-offs of the JCW logo show up all the time on the UK eBay site.

Knock-offs are the bane of the advertising world ... you got to sell a Bolex ... not a Rolex so change the Works to Don't Works or something else.

Someone made a stink (no pun intended ) over at least one website and a small tuner.........

I hear their lawyers are pretty mean and aggressive. I believe someone on this site likened them to an 800lb gorilla.

They have shown a marked tendency to aggressively defend their names and trademarks from unauthorized use - even from menacing forums and threatening tuners.

In fact I have heard a rumor that $0.10 of every dollar spent on JCW products goes to the Corporate Lawyers so that they can write vicious letters to any one who attempts to use the words "Mini", "Cooper" and "JCW" without their consent.

I personally think it's a great idea festooning the JCW Logo across a talking piece of sh*t and having thousands of people parade around in them.


BTW:

Forget the $22.00 bill, someone should come up with the $6,500.00 bill...........

the graphics guy who used to do me JCW logos and stuff really got done by JCW...as he was making money from the logo.

Maybe if it was edited slightly you could get round this......
