Lets not forget those that get HUGE numbers on dyno's... While others get true performance and power with realistic numbers from dyno tunes.

Yeah, I had to go to Alert-O-Lite to take care of a computer problem this morning. I didn't see any MINIs, but it was early and I had had only one Mountain Dew at that time.

That's the truth - in my case, blue punch.

You just better hope your MINI is not listening in. I would not be a bit surprised if you let us know tomorrow that your MINI seemed a bit off or maybe even refused to start. They have personalities and I will even go so far as to say that they can give attitude. MINIs need lots of love and attention and do not like to hear talk of ...... sshh..... another car. You better go out into the garage right now and apologize.

Those things that look like mirrors..... very LARGE ears. Don't say that I did not warn you.

With a Macco paint job and a few decals we could make DJ's car into your choice of a Black or Silver Camario. The paint portion will be new and like Mini's it would be unique. Just consider it a Concept Car

Thanks for the warning. Sitting here lauhging. You come up with the cutest posts. Fortunately my MINI did not hear me. She has gotten me safely to work this AM. Next time I will just keep it between me & myself. Thanks for starting the day off with a morning chuckle.

Now I did not say anything about getting rid of my MINI. I just need Nick to realize that I could use both cars.

It would be hard to lead the string of Mini's in a car other then a Mini Maybe an "S" would be a better Christmas wish

Uh oh. Haven't met you man, but it sounds like we share the same disease - mad-modderism. I haven't bothered to search for the cure cuz' it's too much fun to mod. Make sure you have a slush fund or at least a "black" cc sent to a P.O. Box, or.....well you get the idea.

Yes, I finally got home and brought back the pod. I haven't had a chance to check it yet because I'm trying to get the current mad modder out of here after he decided to completely replace every bushing in the car, plus 99% of the original suspension and a whole lot of rubber hoses. What suspension components have you obtained?

Joe, you need to drive your MINI for a week or so, so I can catch up before I attack the other side panel and other projects.

I know, I know. Seriously, I can't even get down the hall to get a drink of water so I'm not sure how I can get from point "a" to point "b" during the day. If you're feelin' froggy, you could do the PS tank.

Given that I had to take tweezers to remove the dead ladybug bodies from the radiator fins on Sunday (after our MINI run to Lee Vining) one would have to make sure that they did not smile when driving this one! Looks a little drafty too, how well does the heater work? Where is the heater anyway? But then again, you won't have to worry about a rock into the windshield.... just your face! Small details.
