OK, some MINI's sound great, but do yourself a favor and crank up your
speakers and give this a listen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGHYzwwxU_Y&NR Being the old hotrodder that I am, I loved it. Doesn't sound a lot like my MINI though.:sad: |
That had me grinning from ear to ear, just makes ya smile!
Thanks for the link. Annette |
Oh yeah, Open headers on a big block V8. Makes the ground shake. Sounded just like they used to on Saturday nights at the drag strip years ago.:thumbsup:
Now try driving that down a residential street these days and see how fast you get a "fixit" ticket:lol: after all the neighbors wake up.:wink: |
Yeah, my car sounds pretty much like that.
NOT! :lol: Pretty cool sounding 354/392 Hemi, but I've heard better. Not that I wouldn't take THAT one. :grin: |
You know, there aren't many days when I regret selling my small block '69 Camaro, to buy my Mini. But some days, like today and in hearing that, I sure do miss it. Wouldn't give up the Mini for it -- I guess I just need another car.

Driving around with that would drive me insane! But, thats just me.
|
Ain't it wonderful to be able to count the cylinders as they fire vs listening to mad bumble bees in a tin can!
|
I love my MINI, but the sound of that thing brings back great memories.
With good sounding speakers, or maybe a subwoofer on your computer, you can feel the power pulses sort of penetrating your body........ Reminds me of why I still go to the drag races occasionally. Also, I like the hotrod, which is a useable one, rather than a "look but don't touch" trailer queen. Yes, driving around in it all the time would drive me nuts, but driving it sometimes would help keep me from going nuts.:grin: |
Sounds like an old piston aircraft at idle, that pretty sweet though
|
I liked that very much. Especially that lumpy idle. Must have a very bumpy cam in that there Hemi. Not to mention 6 carburetors. Zowie!!!
|
Love it, sounds awesome... reminds me of why I also kept my V8 Mustang when I bought my MINI. :thumbsup:
|
Oh man, that thing sounds fantastic. That could be a fun weekend car, the kind you take to get ice cream and scare all the nearby kids.
It's not often I get to hear a real healthy V8. I'll even roll down the window when I pull up near a muscle car/hot rod, hoping to hear some good noise but 90% of the time I'm disappointed, they just don't come close to the sound of my old 396 el camino. |
