Thanks for the pix. We will be posting some soon, mostly from DC to JC.

I don't think I was one of the 3 you talked to, but you gotta get out more

 

Hi Rival,

Just curious, were you one of three Mini's cruising up the Taconic on Monday? Leader was PW/B MCS. If so, I was the DS/B behind you with 4 passengers grinning all the way. Fun fun ride I say.

why yes, that was me. originally there was 6 of us but, we got split up due to pilot error on 178th in manhattan.
i agree, that was a great drive. i was waiting to hit traffic the whole ride there, as well as back, and not a hint of any the whole ride. great day!!!

Cool. I like that black out trim below the windows. Sorry to ditch you guys at the 44/22 merge. We decided to regroup with some others that we originally left JC with. I did see your car again at the McDonalds bio stop as we were leaving. BTW, is there something hanging low beneath your car? Looked like something along the center line about 1/2 way up?

 

thanx! i love how many people comment on the blacked out trim. only a true mini fan would notice.
that thing hanging could be anything. i hit so many things on the ride up but, it maybe the high flow cat bracket or another piece of the exhaust.
funny thing is i never knew what vanity plate to get but after this weekend i do. im going to go with "scrrrape". i think its fits.
thanks for the heads up. im going to look into that tomorrow.

 

Your mini sounded awsome, especially when the rpm's got up. It was great to hear multiple superchargers all wind up at the same time. Scrrape is good

oh, i totally agree. when i hit CT. i caught up to about 20 mcs or so. at that first red light i stuck my head out the window and just took an earful of that whine.
