I remember seeing one, a "reader's ride'' in MC2. In the letter it mentioned that it was available in Canada. BS? I dunno...I'll try to find the issue.

I'm almost at the 50,000 mile mark, just 50 miles shy. It should happen in the next few days if not tomorrow. I've already bought the oil for the next oil change and this time I'm sending a sample to Blackstone to find out once and for all if my 10k oil/5k oil filter intervals are working.

I just wanted to share with those who would understand.

Good memory, JLloyd. That was me that was featured in MC2. I bought my GF an EB Cooper from Canada. Black roof. Looks great. Sorry, I don't have any pix of it alone. Does this one qualify as EB?

It's a Simpson Nomex Super Bandit with a polarized shield. I love it Saferacer.com and Jegs.com are some of my online favorites for gear.

4. EBC slotted&dimpled Sport Rotors, Green Stuff and braided Stainless lines. (Actually, these will be installed Monday).

I'm really proud of my little beast! All of this has come about, really, because I've been Tracking my car and just want it to be all that it can be. When I've had an Instructor, they've NEVER passed up an opportunity to drive it...and they all LOVED it!

i like the wheels !!

Sweet. Nothing beats freshly washed and waxed EB.

Good to know. How cool would it be to dress as the Stig and then go walking around town staring at stuff like you've never seen it before?

It's tons of fun, you should try it some time! For what it's worth, it's much easier to do away from your hometown that way there's less a chance of someone thinking it might be you!

did you black out your headlight rings and outline of the grille using tape or paint? oh, and where'd you get your stripes? seems a pretty close match to the color of the headlight rings and grille outline

The headlight rings, grill surrounds, side markers, and door handles are all painted. No tape there. The stripes are OEM MINI stripes you get from the dealership. They'll be replaced soon.
