Mountain run today

After school today I decided to take the mini and my camera to the mountains here in San Diego. I started by going up S1(sunrise highway). It was really a beautiful day and I think I got some great pics. I went up mostly to get pics of the mini since I just lowered it. I didn't know where to post the pics but I decided this would be the best catagory. So.. on with the pics.

my favorite shot for today and my new back ground.

I agree the drop looks nice, all you need to do now though is lose the el cajon honda frames.

Holy megapixels....

My network traffic jumped from 55KB/s (internet radio) to over 870KB/s when I loaded this page.

Nice shots though.

Are there no speed bumps in California? Does it rub? Are all driveways and parking lot entrances level? How do you get a jack under the car with it so low?

MINI looks good, nice setting for great pictures.

What coils or springs did you use?

lol. thanks
yeah there are speed bumps and steep driveways... i can get a low profile jack under it. i thought it'd scrape too, i put it that low to begin with and thought i'd have to adjust, but it doesn't scrape or rub on every bump i've been on except ONE in my apartment parking lot.
