A MINI optioned accessory from the factory that can be added at any time.

Mini Fini also sells a model.

Too cool, where is your screen for viewing?

Yep it's one of the ill fated VacuCam Pro cameras I never released. High res Sony CCD with auto focusing and exposure mounted in a waterproof housing. I mounted it to the bumper on one of the micro ball mounts. I don't view it while driving--it goes into a video switch box (multicam switcher) that goes into my DVR recorder or camcorder. I positioned it to poke out of the center of the rear fog light (2005 MINI).

The camera could catch the response of all the Motorcycle guys getting squirted as they weave in and out of grid-lock traffic. Cool!

Octaneguy - great pic of the Sportlink "shoot the tailgator" mod as well - AND you can video it!



Also - with the "one ball" mod, you can use that freed-up muffler space for a remote 5-lb flour bag drop... -id

NO, NO, THIS IS HIGHLY ILLEGAL, UNSAFE, AND CAN REALLY TICK OFF FOLLOWING DRIVERS! SAY NO MORE, DON'T CONTRIBUTE TO THIS HOOLIGANISM! -superego

(pardon that guy, he shows up every so often... -ego)

Haha. I can just see it now. They'll have the Haz-Mat team in there, all garbed up in their space suits (sounding like Darth Vader) thinking they have Anthrax on their hands...

On a side note, when I worked at Wally World (immediately after Sept. 11, 2001), we were unloading a semi (shipping and receiving) we came across a white substance...that was not a fun night. Cold shower, naked, EMT's, quarantine... at least there was no cavity search involved... and in the end, it was just detergent...

As much as I love my MDM hidden receiver hitch, the more I look at that the more I like the tailgunner "look" of the sportlink... I can just imagine those things spittin' fire!

Well, at first I poo-poohed this idea as just youthful hooliganism, but after having that SUV run up my *** yesterday, I'm starting to rethink my position.........

totally! Oil squirters; gas bombs; bottle rockets; too much fun, and yes, highly illegal but then we would only use these "off road" right?

Los Angeles is the epicenter of bad drivers that simply don't get it, and yes, squirting them might solicit some road rage but then it's only water, right?

WD-40, let sit and pull. I had to pull pretty hard to get mine to come off. I was on the inside and my dad pulled from the outside. The motor just has three bolts on the inside of the boot. That is really easy to take off, but watch out for fluid coming out of the hose as you unhook it from the motor.

My wiper arm came off without any drama, and some have told me the same but I've heard the far majority of guys have had a real tough time removing the arm. I'm not sure if a hack-saw would help or not. If you ruin the shaft I'll give you my wiper motor for the shipping cost. I know I'll never use it again.
