The name Fly'n Brick came from what we called an old Austin Mini back in the 60's running killer autoX at EVSCC events.

The personal tag, ordered but not yet received will read; "FRISKY".

Only one mod. May be the only mod. See thumbnail:

This is Stella. No mods, although that may change...I'm thinking of starting with a little window tint and white bonnet stripes.

  • 2003 (2002 build date) Silk Green Cooper R50
  • Mini #168 sold (still don't know if that's in the US, or our dealership, but we got a t-shirt out of it)
  • Mods to date: In sig, but just cuz you asked:
    - m7 Springs on Koni Yellows
    - SPC Rear lower control arms
    - Magnaflow exhaust (sounds delicious!)
    - Stubby antenna
    - '03 Leather trimmed shift ****
    - CG Lock
    - K&N drop in panel filter (soon to be replaced with CAI)
    - Um... lots planned, no $$$ now...

I've just called both of my MINIs....."MINI." And I do call it that...."Thanks MINI" or "Hello, MINI"....things like that.

No mods to either one other than what I selected from the factory, save a shorty antenna.
