    I just had my exhaust welded last friday, and all was good for a couple of minutes until my clutch broke.

    Here's a recent picture. Very dirty.


    Wanna buy the guy a beer who planned this. 12 chicks cramming into a mini and making them all wear mini skirts. ha! Love it!

    I get both extremes when I drive mine. Sometimes people get all excited and point and give me the thumbs up. Other times, people couldn't care less.

    I just drove my Mini again today after being parked for a while. I just installed adjustable camber/toe plates in the rear and adjustable control arms in the front for camber/caster. It's much better now with a good alignment. I still need to figure out how to properly tune the carb.
    I noticed one thing that people who drive the new Mini REALLY love it.
    Working the bugs out on mine also. Driven it a few times now and every thing is still out of whack on it.

    Ok ok, driven the mini I think 4 times so far and have gotten WAY more attention than I do when I cruise the M3! What gives? :sad::p

    E30 all the way baby! :D
    Just drove the mini home tonight for the first time. Cool little car but it aint no E30!;)
