How do you put these smiley faces on?

Cheers
Gerry

I'd suggest having a look at the FAQ for this answer, and many more

Nice to have you along, Gerry

Hi Gerry, if you choose "post reply" rather than "Your Quick Reply" you will see a whole panel of smileys to your left. They can also be typed in, e.g. : followed by ) gives you

, and : followed by D gives you

.

Great to have another MINI lover from the old country.

Oz McMINI · Jun 15th, 2003, 07:12 PM

Thanks guys, I'll get to grips with this eventually

Are you from back home aswell?

eltel · Jun 15th, 2003, 07:22 PM

Not me personally, but we do have some, along with the occasional visitor.

Nice looking BRG MCS you have there. Now I notice that your interests are driving fast cars. Without speed limits in NT what do you intend trying to get the MCS up to?

Welcome.

Eltel,
I've had my '91 Celica upto 210, so any faster than that would be great. Do the MCS's have a limiter, or is that just an Urban myth? I guess I'll find out when I drive the car up from Adelaide.

Cheers.

Apparently their top sped is 220. However, I think this is limited by the rev limiter in fifth. It is adjustable however

Someone up here who claimed he had had his adjusted up a few hundred rpm got done by the cops for 235 (I don't know how true this is)

Let us know what she does eh

You might want to let it run in a little first, though.

Thanks for that, Dutchy. 210's good, the MCS is rated as 218, probably under very favourable conditions, and as swamos says, is rev limited, not speed limited.

Fitting any of the kits (e.g. Hartge, JCW, etc.) will provide a raising of the rev limit, and an increase in top speed.

Not sure that I would want to go that fast in the outback, with all those 'roos hanging about. Nearly collected a big one last Sunday, and I was only 50k out of Melbourne.

Enjoyyour MCS looks awesome, and with that number plate, surely you'd be considering getting a Works upgrade.

Regards, ElTel

Thanks Eltel,
I'm not sure how good the supercharger will go with such high heat and humidity up here? It'll be interesting. As for roo's, it's more like watch out for cattle! The roos will just bounce off (relatively), but the cattle do much more damage. Day time driving is pretty good for speed testing though.
The works kit is just out of my league - the financial minister won't allow it (girlfriend).
Swamos : The car already has 800Kms on it and it will be driven to Melbourne and back before the trek up to Darwin, besides, I'd never speed in the SA Outback.

Cheers Dutchy.

pinkmini · Jun 18th, 2003, 11:23 AM

Hey I got an idea, Can we have a GIRLS only roll call? There doesnt seem like theres many chicks driving minis around... =(

eltel · Jun 18th, 2003, 01:55 PM

Sad but true. Chicks in Minis. Bring back the 60s. Burn the bra. Ban the bomb. Legalise dope. Peace man.

Sorry 'bout that.

Should I add a M/F column to the Roll Call? Would that suffice? Are people happy to be constricted to such narrow gender categories?

Regards, ElTel

pinkmini · Jun 18th, 2003, 04:45 PM

Well Im definately happy! Ive been surfing around messages on da Australian forum and it seems like Ive only come across one chick... ME!!!!

WHERE ARE ALL DA GIRLZ?!! I thought girls liked Minis more since they're so cute and fantastic! Its surprising that the VW beetle is owned by so many girl drivers and not the better looking MINI! Anyone whos a girl and drives a Mini, I wanna see on the drive day!!!

Good to have you along, Pinkmini. You missed a few, Luv2mini, Sass, ahodge, and there are a few others that skim the forum while logged in as their SO

eltel · Jun 18th, 2003, 06:15 PM

I've put a M/F against each person. Hope I got it right. I took some guesses.

vonny · Jun 19th, 2003, 09:02 PM

You're not the only girl Pink Mini, I'm here to keep the side up. Got my MCS about four weeks ago and love it to bits. Wouldn't have anything else now.
