Right now im waiting on the adjuster to see if the car is going to be considered totaled or not. As for the radio ive already removed it and the amp. For the tires if its totaled then I will beable to swap them for the stockers i have at home. If its not totaled then they stay with the car while it gets repaired. And as for another Mini You bet im getting one. Maybe one of the Old ones with the Honda coversion Pumping out 200+ hp full race set up. Or just another S but not with all the bells and whistles since im changing them anyway. Now as for the Yugo its not street legal havent had a inspection sticker or plate on it for 3 years. Might borrow the old project car (yes the riceburner) if it for a meeting but not for a good run. We are tring not to put to many miles on it. All and All I'll Be back in one form or another. Today im heading back out to the racetrack to do some more running. Nothing gets me to unwind more than to really push a car at the track. Have fun be safe and keep motoring.

Did you get your xbox and all out? J took the sweetest piccie of youletting the kids play with it in the back seat when we were all stopped for our re-groupings.

I think my pics may go up today...minus the ones MINIMiller will be sending you. The ones he is sending turned out well, for one lucky man!

J is going to do the novice race thingy that either Russ or Paddy, I think it was Paddy brought up. Garfield set it up...and J wants to get into it. You should do it too, so should Seth and Mike...Russ, oh the list goes on!

On a more serious note. I didnt see any mention of the truck either. Did the truck stop? If I caused a car to drive off a cliff Im pretty sure I would stop!

Are you planning on getting another mini?

it was so sad seeing his car up against that tree down the hill...and so comforting to see him up at the top

Alive and well!

Hey Moonpie, has anything for the novice race school thingy been set up yet???

I'd be interested in this too -- very much.

districtofc · Oct 30th, 2002, 10:53 AM

talk to brian garfiled...it's in the race section of the messageboard.

Mugami · Oct 30th, 2002, 12:53 PM

Wouldnt be bad if I did a refresher course. But since I have to work both the night before and the night during the event. Dont think I can do a 60 hr stretch. I attended a Skip Barbar school many many years ago. Might even have the Video on driving tech. still. Ill have to go look. I have to meet the adjustor on the car by the end of the week. who knows if all works well I might have a replacement by the next drive. Have fun be safe and happy motoring. And in my last words before tring the new Car Cliff diving olympic event.

OOOOHHH SHHOO

MoonPie · Nov 2nd, 2002, 10:48 AM

The racing thingie? Yeah, that's Garfields dept. Although there have been some posts about it on Yahoo! Hubby wants to do it for sure, the Novice one, right? I'd feel so much better about the fast driving on a safer course*coughcough*not that he has ever gone over the speed limit.

Mugami, has MINIMiller sent you your poorminipiccies yet? If not I can get them to you. Did you see all the other pics up on Yahoo?

let me know, you can PM me and I can either send them, or we can post them, what ever you like!

Woot!

Mugami · Nov 2nd, 2002, 12:32 PM

never been to the yahoo board yet.. guess ill have to look it up. Um Garfield had an accident with his Mini S .. Simular damage as mine. Wonder if people going to say he was driving way beyond his abilities. hope the best of luck to all.. Have fun Keep safe and happy motoring.

kcollins · Nov 2nd, 2002, 01:06 PM

What are you looking for - sympathy? :-)

billkrz · Nov 2nd, 2002, 03:07 PM

I bet you can't wait to see what the insurance rates will be on the "S"'s with all of these accidents. Maybe another reason to have a regular Cooper!

Tony, how did Garfield wreck? Is he okay too?

Mugami · Nov 2nd, 2002, 10:51 PM

he didnt say.. and doesnt want to discuss it. and Ill respect that. as for simpathy nah dont needed. Just love the way people prejudge what a person can or cannot do with out knowing them. I was prejudge in overdriving the car by many people who most likly never driven with and without DSC. or without knowing the fact that yes I have race experence. Over 10 years of it. Yet the question comes up would those same prejudgement happen to Brain since hes a National soloII champ. and yes could whip my but at anytime at any track. As for accidents they happen even to the best(which im no where close). Best thing is Learn from any mistakes if you believe if one was made, Make the repairs, and go on from there. Dont go beating yourself over your head about it if there was nothing you could do. And for those who are reading this Sorry to bring up Brains mishap in the first place it was done in bad taste on my part. More of a vent than anything else. so dont go bugging him. IF he wants to talk he will if not just drop it an go on. Have fun, Be safe , and happy motoring.

I just noticed that today is your birthday. Try to have a good birthday, even though luck hasn't been with you lately.

MoonPie · Nov 3rd, 2002, 09:17 AM

happy birthday MUGAMI! omg, I didn't notice either! yay! Did you have a cake? (RP will want to know, heeheehee)

Mugami · Nov 3rd, 2002, 10:01 AM

Thanks april and moonpie ill save a piece for the both of you. going to take a look at the car today and see how its coming along. Should have the new suspension in as well as a few other improvements. Just knew i shouldnt have hit that self destruct button before heading into that turn but what the hey.. ill just put in the rocket launcher. have fun be safe and keep motoring

districtofc · Nov 3rd, 2002, 02:09 PM

hmmm

Garfield · Nov 5th, 2002, 03:00 PM

Just so you know, my accident wasn't a street driving accident. And the damage, although originally thought bad, is now simply replacing the bumper and living with the rest.

Anyway, poor judgement can ALWAYS cloud good driving. It still takes years of experience not to be stupid

My school is still not officially filled, although it should be with all the people telling me they're sending checks. Let me know if you're interested.
