Well before we put more tanks in the car I'm thinking we'll finish the suspension & then the coup de grace (Status in alcantara w/ CF/Kevlar weave): http://www.statusracing.com/featuring.asp?id=ringa & a Brey-Krause harness bar:

. I'm gonna have some saving up to do though.

Well still waiting for Dynapack to get their dyno back.

We're not able to make AMVIV this year because we're going here: http://www.riu.com/palacecabosanluca...show/index.php. We'll come back with a tan.

Just stating the obvious here, but 200whp MINI + 4" of snow + Falcon Azenis tires = a bad day... I got caught out at work and it took me an hour to drive 5 miles home.... If it went over 1k rpm, the power overwhelmed the tires....

Yeah, try my driveway with snow on it. Don't put on the brakes on the way down or you will end up in my kitchen. Getting up it is wishful thinking. No problems now, since it was 75 yesterday.

So that's why you're not interested in winter track-days.

The "super lube" didn't stop the creak. and now my back has a "creak" that it didn't have before... May need the the good doctor to assist with the diagnosis. The car creak.....what were you thinking!

I thought the lube was for your creaking body, not the MINI. You just didn't use it on the right parts.

I prefer not to face the oncoming traffic like last time. Especially when some smarta** waves when he goes by.

You missed out if you would have gone to the last one you could have waved back.
