Thats a secret.... Think weight savings though.

 

Thanks, Brad! I know everyone was holding back for 5999.

 

Going to drill out the floor panels?

You might as well just empty out the inside of the MINI.

 

Planning on leaving Tuesday morning. 99 to SR155 (love that road) to Death Valley and overnight at Stovepipe Wells, then on into Vegas Wednesday morning. I've got Terrie set up to do the Indy Car ride at LVMS at 2pm on Wednesday...I may even drive again like I did last year. Just need to get rid of the moths in my wallet first.

 

I have to admit that I love that road, too. Sounds like a good trip. I'll be hauling parts so no fun for me. Brad should be hauling a small trailer which will slow him down, but I'm glad I won't have to drive the Behemoth with my MINI on the trailer.

I was wondering if you were going to do the Indy Car again.

 

I have to admit...it was a real RUSH..... Kinda depends on my "bonus" this year..but it's looking pretty good. Some of the Maverick folks are try to get together to go to the Red Square at Mandalay Bay, one night while were there. Sounds pretty cool.....no pun intended. Russian decore, solid ICE for a bar, "Martini's that will knock your sock's off" from what I've been told. Something to think about

 

Sounds like it could be interesting.

 

Pretty much means..."leave the keys at home"...me thinks!!

 

Is the food any good, or is it just a bar???

 

Been told that the food is Very Good as well......but that could have been after a couple of those "killer mar-toonies"

 

Good idea, but no.

 

Why not everyones doing it.

 

Oh, sure.

 

Who cares about the food

 

I do thats why i asked.

 

I DO
BUT IM NOT ABLE TO GO TO VEGAS
RED SQUARE IS COOL, GREAT DRINKS AND GOOD FOOD. IF YOU DONT LIKE THE MENU THERE ARE UMTEEN OTHER CHOICES AT MANDALAY BAY

 

Aaah. I just spent the last 3 hours tearing the back of my car down to metal. All seatbelt brackets and seat brackets no longer needed have been removed. All holes from the seat removal have been plugged. The back of the car is looking very clean. All I have left to do is replace the rear piece of carpeting with the new one. I'm going to wait till I get a lightweight optima battery first though...

 

Pictures???

 

It looks almost exactly the same, except the seatbelt is gone and the holes in the side paneling have been plugged... I'm lazy, but I will try and get a pic for you tmorrow.

 

I guess its a good thing you can't drive it right now.

 

Well i know what its like to be lazy, so no hurry just whenever you get around to it.

 

Blake i don't know how you do it. I've been with out my car for less than a week and i'm going crazy because i can't drive it. I don't know how you put it up for the winter.

 

I didn't like it when I drove the Jeep to work, and left the MINI in the garage.

Doing anything fun over the weekend? Other than Football.
