Not all mini owners are nice

Sad really

i guess no matter how much mods you make, when you are caught out of sync, it happens...

some guy in a lowered S was in front of me, i waved at him from the back, we launched togehter, i was behind him (no jokes please!), when i upshifted to 2nd, he blew me a face full of exhaust gas! obiviously he waited for me to shift.. by the time i stomp on it, i was at around 2k at 2nd gear.. even with 15% there isn't much i can do... sigh, now if i dump clutch at 4k the results wouldn't have been so ugly

guess that's just the way it is...

fyi, this is NOT a street racing thread... i did not race him, merely caught up with him moments later when the pulley did its work in 2nd and third...

Not all humans are nice.


If he were nice then he'd wave back and the two of you would go motoring off into the sunset??

Well, it's hard when two fast MINIs are side by side.

You can always find out who he is and challenge him to a game of chess or a foot race for a quarter mile. Add hurdles if you can jump and have long legs.

Or invite him out for a beer
