If you put the * in, you can still spell creatively and the bad word detector doesn't pick up on it, like so; Holy Sh*t!! or Holy S*it!!

Boy, am I bored....

This car has a six speed gearbox; fast, faster, even faster, hang on, holy sh*t, and finally, we're all gonna die!

mr.abulia · Oct 12th, 2006, 12:15 AM

Hey, my car goes faster than that Stickman: It goes all the way past fast, faster, hits ludicrous speed and finally settles on "plaid"

I was lucky enough to sniff the exhaust of a competition car today. It smells ok, but sounds amazing! Two more people called about the C4s, so I'm keeping my fingers doubly crossed.

British SD · Oct 12th, 2006, 12:34 AM

You mean, HOLY 5HIT !!!!!!!!!

Finally we have some loaded MINI's in Calgary that will blow smoke in Tobias's face soon. Can't wait to see them broken in.

mr.abulia · Oct 12th, 2006, 01:00 AM

I don't know how much smoke will actually be blown in Tobias' face... I know that once I get into my driver's seat, I still have quite a weight disadvantage to overcome. Maybe I should let my wife drive

Does someone finally get my reference to "plaid"

???

Plaid on a MINI ... so fast ... you'll see yourself go back in time ...

Actually, I hadn't noticed your .sig. Just two fans of funny movies catching Minis in the night, I guess

On a completely unrelated note, I've been sitting here looking at pictures of minis, and wondering... is it just me, or is anyone else kinda not feeling the aerokit. Since I really want to get into the competition car, this realization that it may not be my thing is kind of distressing...

Like I said before - the SouthEast is where 'its a happenen' ...

By the way - another MINI in "Butterfly Effect 2". But just in the background. Too bad. Nice BMW though.

Well if you prefer the regular MC bumpers I can swap for free

mr.abulia · Oct 12th, 2006, 08:17 AM

I don't think the rear one will line up just right, xtreme

I may have found a solution though: buy a grille and a stock rear bumper, and then try to find whatever the heck that middle grill piece is in these photos:

(ok, does anyone know why these aren't showing up as pictures? I used the insert image button, for gosh sakes!)

xtremepsionic · Oct 12th, 2006, 09:35 AM

I went outside after work last night to take some pictures in the thick fog. Check it out! (Click me)

MINI lost in Fog
Click me!

btw. Jon, I think they won't show up as an image because they are actually forum attachments.

mark-o · Oct 12th, 2006, 02:31 PM

xtreme, you're awesome. I may just have to take a course or something to learn how to shoot like that. I know you probably never took a course and learned how to shoot when you were 5 years old or something but the rest of us need more than that.

I think there's something in the gasoline in the SE, there are a LOT of MINI's in M-Towne!

I myself like the chrome grille on Cooper and Cooper S alike, although an S with the chrome grille is quite rare.
However, I must say that aerokit is tastefully done and looked the business on the CR/W CP car I saw at the MINI Edmonton dealer a few weeks back. It definitely gives the car a more aggressive visage without being over the top. Especially tasty are the side skirts in body colour, and you can be assured of standing out from the vast majority of MINIs with the aerokit.
For me the aerokit would not be a deal breaker on the CP car, unlike the presence of a sunroof.

If I tell you I only started taking pictures seriously for just about a year, would you believe me?

It was actually after I got the MINI that I really started taking a lot of pictures. I've been taking digital pictures since 1999, but only got my first digital slr back in March 06. I compensate by taking a lot of pictures, almost 13000 since March

What piece is that, Mr. A? It looks like that PW MINI has a full aerokit, and the regular 'S' grille. I don't see a middle piece.

I love the looks of the front of the Aerokit sideskirts and front bumper. Not a big fan of the rear bumper neither. I'm hoping to put some sideskirts on Sheamus down the road...

It's the red-circled part below: the grill that's not the top grill and not the bottom grill, but the one that sticks the furthest out on the front bumper. On most cars it is just a chrome surround with one grill in it. On this car it appears to be a solid piece of plastic.

How is Mini-T doing? I hope everyone is well and adjusting to the new addition!

Nice photos, Xtreme! At first I wasn't sure that I'd actually like photos of an obscured Mini... you know, because I'm all about the Mini... but then realized that it's kind of like a burlesque show. It just leaves you wanting more! And it looks really cool
