Will the mods ever end?

Well its now year 7 with my R53 and I have an apointment with Helix to put on a cat back Meltek exhaust system and a short shifter Tuesday. I keep saying to myself "no more mods" but it just keeps going. Anybody heard of what Jeep owners say, Just Empty Eack Pocket? Harley owners say HD stands for Hundred Dollars, each time you look at an accessory its at least a Hundred Dollers. Boat owners say Bring On Another Thousand. Now my question is what do Mini owners say?

ive had a full headers back miltek on my car for a good 5 years.. awesome and rock solid! I loooove following it and hearing it (so different than in the car). I would get another one in a heartbeat.

I just bought a 97 993 C2 (dream car).. i dont know what the term is for porsche's but it is good at eating my $$ (and i fully endorse it :P) Im keeping my r53 as my daily\mountain\snow car and the 993 as my sports\track car.. umm.. im gonna track both because they are BOTH KICKASS AWESOME! Im off to do my first 993 mod, some RS motor mounts ($500! eeek porsche parts are worth their weight in gold!)



phil.

Not long ago my opinion was "why would people modify cars when they just drive around town and to work, etc." that was before I got my MINI and went on MINI rallies.

Now I understand
