We are in the compact class(PT cruisers, Scion, Mini Cooper, etc.). $250.00 cash drawing for all entries, Goodie Bags (first 250 entries), awards, more awards and just plain fun hanging around with the MINI family. We can take the trophy home again for the Car Club Participation. Hopefully Kurt & Marty will have some entry forms at our next club meeting. I know I will be there. Hope to see the rest of you also.

OUCH!! You can make a small car but only one Mini. I will gladly keep driving my Mini however I would not drive one of those death traps. Number 3 the Toyota is in my opinion the worst one.

I/we hadn't planned on it. Steve, I'm merging this thread into the general Big Thanks thread. Whenever we're all just chatting or have questions we post in that thread versus continuously making new threads.

? It, the e-brake handle, goes into the boot the same as stock. The handle has a set screw that locks it onto the actual brake system.
