| Ian, it was a yearly competition for all of us that went through boy scouts and attempted to shave a car out of a block of wood. All it really was was a competition of how good a woodworker your father was...I always lost. Maybe that explains why I now have the top-of-line Dremel XPR kit just in case something like that comes up again! Oh well, don't bothing getting her tickets then... No respect for you auto drivers!    |

| Poltroon! (Somehow I never get tired of saying that!) I made the mistake of reading that thread yesterday, and the guy is from a town in FL next to where my parents live in the winter. (And they wonder why I never want to go visit?) Also graduated from the same college (though maybe a branch of it) that my crazy coworker graduated from. (Or so she says...)  |

| There's going to be a 'next MINI' for you too..? Are you trying to catch Ian?   Religion is like a huge dog. If it's yours it's very friendly and comforting, but it scares the heck out of everyone else. |

| Thanks Chip - looks like great fun Apparently everyone gets the same wheels? There is a "full size" fishbox derby here in Gloucester each year, which I enjoy watching ... http://www.margaretandian.com/archiv...hbox2005.shtml |

| Yea...to keep things fair everyone starts with the same official BSA kit For the scout races there are a bunch of rules (only official tires and axles, min/max height, width & weight restrictions, etc.) but for "unofficial" races you could make your own rules. Some folks (parents) take it so seriously they actually made a movie about it: Down and Derby |

(and the beat goes on..........) 
For your information, the next MINI is going to be a stick and I've had several lessons. I'm ready to go. Now start buying tickets!
