What did you do to your mini today?

Tanxs! I came up with the idea for the design, a graphic designer friend of mine from the local MINI club helped translate and tweak that design from an idea hacked together in photochop to a file the vinyl shop could use, with the result you see in the video.
The music is all me. I wrote it, played the bass and all the guitars, and programmed the drums (a sequencer and samples are a lot easier to work with than a real drummer outside of a recording studio and sound good enough for demos). I still need to write lyrics for it (and many others I have sitting around).

Thanks guys
...just a conservative drop for now....but one day...I'm gonna have a totally slammed MINI....like "brandon h" & "Rally"!
..another pic...can see it gave a bit of neg camber in back.
..up front I removed those guiding pins & shifted the mount over a bit for the "free" neg camber...

Disassemble, dead?
Disassemble, dead?!?!?
NO DISASSEMBLE, STEPHANIE!!!
Cool. When you get the right new parts, you can "reassemble, Stephanie" and it'll be better than ever....
Any chance you'll get it back together in time for MitM?

No Joe I'm afraid not, I'm going to take my time with it and do a full motor build, so the car wont be there until next year. I know it sucks but, it was better that the rod bearing decided to spin out near my house 2 weeks before MITM, than have it go out on a ride at the event. I could probably throw a new bearing on the #1 rod, slap it back togeather and have it run to go up there but, I really dont want to chance it coming apart again. I was lucky once in the sence that there really isnt much damage, but if it happened again I probably wouldnt be so lucky.
I am still going up to MITM, but unfortunately I will be driving a POS Ranger. If you want you are invited over to the house to see the car, Its only about an hour from WP.

I finally got back Winston from the "MINI" doctor. He was in for his Midlands transmission repair. He now sounds....well he doesn't make transmission sounds now at all. Thank goodness! So to celebrate I gave him a Prima spa treatment. And tomorrow he gets to make a 400 mile journey to Memphis!
