saw bits of a show where they are preparing two minis for the track. they filmed it at willow springs. it should rerun later today. thought you guys would be interested. the best lap time was 1:25. the winners got to take home to minis.

"full throttle" a lame ass show.

my uncle is an expert on mini's, and they employed him to make sure they did all the parts installs correctly etc. My uncle commented that these people are clueless.


BTW - watch the 67 beetle competition- they are given 200HP scat motors, and proceed to blow up a dizzy. then instead of running to ANY bug shop in socal to get a dizzy, they use the old VW one ....

morons

Yeah, I'l have to admit it's pretty lame, but then again i'm sitting here watching it Were just a bunch of nerds

I like it.

They don't do a wonderfull job, but, who cares? They have 1 day to get the car into fighting trim, and then they get to keep them if they win.

I'd love to get on the show. Unless it was the Pacer show. In that case they could keep those.

I love Minis and would like to have one some day. I saw an interesting one on the way to the So Cal get together. It was a Mini pickup truck. Did they make these or is it something someone did themselves? Iether way, it was way cool.

They made mini pickups and mini travlers (mini two door station wagon). My family has owned both and I currently have a new mini and if they made a traveler I would be on the waiting list tomorrow.
