Another win for the MIGHTY MINI.

Cool .... go the Mini

MINI 2 and it's associates do not condone illegal street racing.

Boo,

Do you know anything about a German turner called Digitec. I saw a review on DW tv motor Magazine on Monday night. They clain 35 HP extra, but their car went faster than all the others, and it wailed like a banshee. Man it was cool.

All that for only 1250 Euro. I think this bears further investigation....

jasemini · Jan 16th, 2003, 11:39 PM

Hey Guys, brand new to this MINI site, I was converted by Aussiemini last night. I should hopefully be joining you for a run on the 8th of Feb and maybe on Australia day. Looking forward to doing some obviously sensible driving with other MINI owners here in Brisbane. I read with interest some of your conquest stories, cool! I love to wallop the bejesus out of n'er-do-wells in their poxy Commodores personally. A few of my boof mates have V8 Holdens in one form or another, one SS, one GTS, and one GTO Monaro, the GTO I had the pleasure of softening the paint on his back bumper with my driving lights last friday night on a run through the back of Bardon and Mt Cootha, I would right on him the whole way and I could have passed him with ease on a number of occassions but my safety and that of my MINI prevailed, needless to say he was very impressed, when we reached the Summit he just got out and said Sh*t it goes doesn't it, you were all over me, to which I said "YEP!"

I mentioned to Aussiemini last night that it would be good to do a Friday night run sometime and turn some heads around the Harry's Diner gathering, my MINI really turned some heads last Friday night so imagine a dozen or so. COOL

Looking forward to chatting and meeting all Brisbane MINI guys.

Sounds very interesting swamos, wonder what the mods entail... Investigate indeed

Oh, chose some wheels too

Looks like we need to keep a score card on the number signs up we each get.

Welcome jasemini to MINI2. What the spec of your baby?

jasemini · Jan 17th, 2003, 03:26 AM

Hi Snoopy, I've got a Chilli Red MCS with white mirrors and roof, 16" alloys and tint. Bought it from Brisbane BMW in November for a great price as a demo, it only had 800km on it when we took delivery and we put about 500km of those k's on there through various test drives. No mods to speak of so far, I'm somewhat of a purist so personally I'm not a fan of stripes or roof decals etc, but hey horses for courses. I wouldn't mind looking at performance based mods down the track but the cost would have to be relative to the increase in power. I'm not about to spend $1000 on an exhaust to get an extra 10kw. I'd rather do some training and learn to drive my car exceptionally well and then upgrade to a more powerful MCS in a few years (assuming that BMW brings one out) This is my first sports car so the whole performance thing is new to me as previously I had a 2000 Mazda 626. I must admit I've never really been into the whole cruising scene either, why would you be with a 626, but now I love getting together and cruising on a Friday night or good drives on the weekends. Sounds like I'll have plenty of oppurtunity with you guys. I'm looking forward to it.

CooPz · Jan 17th, 2003, 03:34 AM

Snoopy they only count if you get those two hotties in the BRG Mini Cooper S that I saw four weeks ago in brisbane.

I almost ran a cop off the road in pursuit of them. *sigh* All minied up and no woman to cruise with.

Where are we meeting on the 8th?

jasemini · Jan 17th, 2003, 03:48 AM

Hey Coopz, Isn't it funny the lengths you go to in pursuit of another MINI. I saw the EB MCS whiz throu some lights at Clayfield the other day, when I finally caught up with her and gave her the wave she looked at me like I was some kind of pervert, she looked about 18 and obviously Mummy & Daddy had bought their little Ascot princess a MINI. The should have saved $20,000 and bought her a Barina...rude cow! When you buy Mini you become a member of a special club and it's not the flip your collar up Ralph Lauren club from Clayfield College

I believe that aussiemini told me that the meet on the 8th is meeting at the Gap McDonalds at 8:30....I'm looking forward to it

AussieMini · Jan 17th, 2003, 05:39 AM

Hi fellow Mini Pilots, We will be meeting at The Gap McDonalds at 8:30am on February the 8th for another run over the mountain and possibly the North Coast.

Also on the 25th of January 2003, a few of us will be doing a bit of a run somewhere. It won't be anything huge - possibly a lunch and a burn around somewhere. Nothing's really been organised but keep your eye out here and I'll let you know where and where in the next day or so.

CooPz · Jan 17th, 2003, 05:59 AM

So no southern run?

ok well please be forgiving on the time as us gold coasters have to get up eaaaaarly to make it to the gap by 8:30.

Hmmm maybe I could stay up friday night in brisbane with someone. Just have to meet a someone first. hehe

AussieMini · Jan 17th, 2003, 06:14 AM

Hey CoopZ, I am on the southside (Cleveland) and would love a southern run as well. The problem is I don't know of any runs with the twists and turns at a decent speed. If you know one I'd love to be involved.

Any ideas?

Boo · Jan 17th, 2003, 06:49 AM

Hey Coopz, i'll be heading up from the Gold Coast also on the 8th... can't wait for the run

CooPz · Jan 17th, 2003, 06:56 AM

So it will be a reunion for us? wow I haven't even met you yet and I am getting all nostalgic. we'll be able to say things like, "hey remember that wrx we beat on australia day"

SMS me Boo so I have your real name and number for when I get down.

James

Hey, our last run was a southern run

I'm as keen as the next guy to learn new roads. Everything to the south of Brisbane that isn't a 4 lane highway seems to have a 60kph sign on it

It's up to you coopz to find a good run down on the border...

Go forth little one, find a run, the force is strong in you....
