Blaine,
No problem with hosting it on MOT ... email / PM me; if you can FTP I'll set you up to put it on the site, otherwise you can mail the CD to me.


Meanwhile, I've added a link to the Google video to the MOT video page - thanks!

Woohoo! Great video!

Nice snaps, Richard.

Glad the battery held up for the last one!

Good video...you just reminded me I also took video of the ascent this year..I'll have to post that some time. What are the music credits? One portion of it I recognize and now it's bugging me I don't know who it is or how the heck I heard it.

[Theo]

Could someone PM me with the following info needed for the MC2 magazine article:

1. First and Third place Trivia Contest winners. Team name and members' names, please.

2. CD Contest winner's name.

3. Lease winner (Shannon's) last name.

4. JCW winner/high bidder's name.

Thanks!!!

I know! ("Missed it by that much!")

It was the Serbo-Montenegrian flag that sunk you, wasn't it...

[yellowmininy]

I think it was missing a couple of the movie questions, though you can never know too many flags! I should have known the Chilean one, at least! I think we missed half the flags, but I think the rest of the room did too. Bosnian did cross my mind, though not Serbo-Montenegrian. Close...

Hi.
I'm new to the site but this thread seems to be active for the owners in Boston/New England.

I'm looking for a driver's seat for my new "06 MCSC. My fat butt is a bit too large for the S-Sport seats. The sport seats position my legs in such a way as to cause my arthritic hips pain. I traded my "05 MCC with the flat seats and they were fine. I have asked Mini/Peabody to determine if a factory "flat-seat" can be fitted to an S
.
Does anyone have experience in retrofitting seats? Are there after-market seats besides racing seats?

Thanks in advance

I set it to music so you don't have to listen to my wife and i babble or hear the dog panting in the microphone.
shoot me an email if you can host. Thanks all.

Blaine

Awesome vid!
And, I LOVE the unmistakable sound of Deep Forest. NICE! There was one point where the music went with the car going into the shade... ...

Rich,
You'll be better posting to the general chat off-topic thread:
http://www.mini2.com/forum/new-york-...-cod-mini.html

This thread is specifically for MINIsOnTop

[minicoupah]

I figured that but you guys were local and I had to start SOMEWHERE!
Thanks for the link

Glad you had a good run.

See you down the road!

Bosnian flag:



Lots of Bosnians in the Burlington area, which is why I know this (although most of the Bosnians I know seem to prefer the 1992-1998 flag)...

Probably because it looks cooler on a mask...
