It's been so long I can't find the original thread.....well, for one thing I didn't drive PKT RKT :smile:

 

Notor, motor, motor.


Hey pocketrocket...you got me worried later.....go easy on that Jack Daniel's bottle, OK?

 

Took about a 200 mile trip with the STLMINI Club. 30+ MINIs & 1 classic. Ended up with a dirty, bug encrusted MINI but boy did we have a great time.

Pulley party!

15% Pulley, Magnecore wires, Denso Iridium Spark Plugs, UNIChip ECU, UNIFilter. Drove home in an awful blizzard!

 

Lime Rock Raceway!!!

I did autocross for the second time.

Did runs of 71, 68, 67, 65 seconds with one cone down all day on run 2.
Then did fun runs of 68, 65, 64, and 62 with change.

I think I'm getting the feel of this.
The best MINI time all day was 58 seconds in a stock MCS.

I ran in SM since I have a pulley, plus lots more.

 

Did about 240 highway miles going to and from my kart practice and kart race. Hopefully I'll put on some more going up to Laguna Seca for a track day in a couple of weeks :smile:

 

Mine was stuck indoors on display for the entire 3 days at the International Auto Salon IAS SEMA show in the convention ctr in L.A ca. No driving time this weekend but met many mini people and made some good connections for some interesting new products. Randy

 

I left the house only once, a 2 mile run to Taco Hell (tm)

 

I installed a CB in mine!

How did you get in so many fun runs? The key to getting a good time is to be smooth so you don't upset the handling of the car via weight transfer.

I heard brgpph was there in his newly aero kit outfitted MCS, erik808 got one heck of a run in his MC and MiniAngelD was there.

I also heard about the launch of http://www.mini-pooper.com on mini-t's MCS, or should I say MPS.

 

The wife and I left Napa Valley on Saturday around noon, headed northeast, took the Feather River Hwy. A CHP officer must have been bored, as he passed us going the other way. A few minutes later he appeared in my mirror, red lights on. Wrote me up for a missing front license plate. Can you believe that?

Continued on to Reno, where we got even, net winnings of $1,200 or so. For some reason, we could not lose no matter where we played.

Then flew downhill over the Sierras on Sunday, with a lot of wanna-be Mini's chasing us down the mountains.

450 mile round trip. Sore butt, worth every minute.

Drove 300 miles on the Pacific Coast Hwy. Beautiful scenery, so many pretty cars in my rear view mirror Finally finished breaking the car in, and it took the twishies so well! And most cars were even nice enough to pull over and get out of my way

 

Pilo intake! :smile: and then took her out for a spin on Saturday, gave
her a quick wipe down from body to tires and shined her up again.

 

i took her for a bit of a road trip. drove from nor cal down to santa barbara (6+ hour trip) with some friends to visit and do some well deserved partying around ucsb on friday, saturday i went down to riverside to visit my gf at ucr (about a 2+ drive from sb), then rolled back up to the bay area on sunday. the gps was awesome, didnt let me down once. i still dont trust it 100% tho i've got a layer of bugs on my windshield and bumper and too top it off it rained a bit on saturday night to make all that freeway dirt look real nice. she's going to get a wash and wax after work!

I wanted to go to that event, but I had plans that were made way out in advance. Hopefully I can make the next STL club event.

Did manage to detail the MINI inside and out and gave it a nice coat of wax, so it wasn't a total loss.

 

Took 3rd place in the FCSCC's first points event of the year in Rookie Non-Stock class.

 

Went autocrossing with the Lone Star Chapter of the BMWCCA... got 1st in my class (B) with a 95.013 run (ran a conservative 102, then 100, then 97.3 and 98 in the morning sessions; afternoon sessions started with a 97.5, 95.8, 95.013, and 95.4).

The looooooong straights on this month's course weren't becoming to the MC!

 

Mmm, installed the Alta Intake, Detailed my interior. Steam-cleaned the undercarriage...

Motored around the Detroit burb's a bit (Errands), my Mini found a companion when
I was at Ballys :smile: Almost an exact copy, minus lapis leather and 3 spoke
steering wheel...



@ 310MI on the clock now... Can't wait for 1,250!

Next weekend, installing upgraded Osram H7 bulbs, XM direct kit...

 

I installed my Unichip piggy back ECU. All I have to say is !

Cheers,

JD

 

I did my taxes.
