WELL!! What were the odds? As we were driving through Dayboro, we drove right past a cooper S waiting to turn at an intersection! We nearly had a new member right then and there!

I hope he comes and joins in the fun and forumitty.

But the funny thing was with the poor bugger, I think he was poised to turn right and got into some internal debate whether to follow us or not.

Cjay and I were the last Pilots to pass him and we could feel him thinking. Then all of a suddent, his left indicator activated and then there were 13.

He seemed like a nice guy, and I'm with you Jug, I hope he comes along next time.

PS Just debadged the tailgate of my MINI to replace that dodgy black stripe with a nice one. Wasn't too hard. The worst thing was getting that factory double-sided tape crap off.

Hey CoopZ,

When you get your Cobra Stripes on take a shot and post it on here.

Can't wait to see it!

I'd just like to say thanks for a top, albeit a long day of MINI motoring, sorry I couldn't hang on for the sushi and Cold Rock. The video footage posted is excellent, it'll be great to see some more once it gets up, and I hope Chris can get some of his images from the day online soon.

On another note I couldn't be more impressed with the great bunch of people that I've met through this site and my new MINI, I look forward to some great friends and great times in the future

OK so when are we going again?,

Cheers Guys and once again thanks

Jason

Hi guys

My EB MINI & I had a ball on saturday. I can't believe you guys went to 10.00pm that night. We may as well drive as a group to sydney and back. I am sure we are all crazy enough to do it.

Unfortunately i do not have the capability to view the video footage. Is there any chance one of you guys can save it all on disc. It would be very much appreciated by myself and all the CBA staff. Every one in the office here wants to come on the next drive.

If you can save it to disc can you call me (0414 789 265) and I will come and pick it up, perhaps over coffee. My shout.

Ciao

Dimitri

Oh Danny.. I have shamed us. I did as instructed, cleaned her nicely, got my rear badge off washed, polished, waxed, removed the intake scoop, then... my mate let me down with the stanley knife, spray bottle and squeegee Well in a fit of anger I drove to super cheap and picked up a layer of road dust, got home rewashed her and started, oh the glory oh the joy of a job well done... until! as a dead line approached I became more frantic add to this my already frustrated state of mind, well, I saw a bubble so as I franticly squeegeed it I pulled the vinyl... a nice big stretch on the bonent, well I hit the roof and chucked a fit, I had no time to fix it and couldn't leave it like that so I removed the other three good strips as well and left it bare, thankfully I will have enogh to do the front still but the back will wait till I fork out another $30

It looked great and I am so glad I am doing it. just not till next week now as the exhaust is being done now.

CooPz · Feb 10th, 2003, 01:15 AM

It looked somethign like this....

warped · Feb 10th, 2003, 04:32 AM

Awesome set of photos cjay ... especially like the 'in motion' shots with the MINIs strung out along the curves

Waiting .. waiting .. waiting

JugMan · Feb 10th, 2003, 04:52 AM

Hey coopz,
When you gonna post a link to the video you took of us all comin down Mt Mee?

I must admit, I thought you'd be further down the mountain than where you actually were!

Cheers,

Quoted by minicruiser in a post regarding RICE in General Discussion

Shameless Rice
This is probably the biggest offender, this is the fitment of parts which scream for attention. Such highly embarrassing items such as very OTT body kits, obscenely oversize wheels, neon lights, LED’s, larish stickers and paint schemes, the list is endless. Shameless Rice can be functional, often isn’t, either way the effect of subtly and indeed class is lost on the creator. Probably the cheapest and most common is the fitment of ‘Shelby Stripes’ to otherwise standard cars.

OH NO COOPZ IS A MINI RICE

I told you so on Saturday mate, with the dark dark tint, clear lights and S2000 antenna. Add Danny's Cobra Stripes and baby you da man! Change your name from CooPz to VINDEISEL or FASTANDFURIOUS or even MACKDADDY

Cheers Mate

Jase

CooPz · Feb 10th, 2003, 05:15 AM

Sorry but I will have to say that this whole rice boy thing refers to Hondas and nissans and other Japanese imports I hardly see how you can make a british car more japanese by adding american style stripes... Some people have lost the plot when it comes to insults. Not refering to you Jase just a few other misguided souls who actually were serious when they said it. Still the count is 3 people who have said it's rice and 32 people who said that 3 people need to get a dictionary

for the record It's Pimp tint, OEM lights, and when those stripes go on, it will be anything but stock in the air dept.

Well it just looked so nice on the way down. good thing I used it as you guys were never five minutes. Anyway it turns out that the pack was broken up to three groups, I got all three and was doing some editing to make a nice transition. somehow one 745 k and one 2.4 meg files ended up a smidge over 10meg after I had merged them. not sure what happened but I will try again to reduce size,if I can't get it smaller I'll burn copies for everyone on CD's because the 11 cars in a row looks magic with a bit of ghostly fading between.

jasemini · Feb 10th, 2003, 06:08 AM

You'll have to get personalized plates that read PIMP or perhaps given your talent for editing movies CHOPPER. Have you managed to find that video camera with the whole see through night vison thing?? I thought you'd be on e-bay the minute you got home

Cheers Mate

Jase

PS: Caps will be ready Wednesday so I'll try and do a scoot down later in the week with them, I'll see how I go.

CooPz · Feb 10th, 2003, 06:20 AM

I'll have it on my laptop for you to have a look at when you come down
