Discovery Channel just had a monster garage episode converting a new Mini S into a snowmobile. Jesse James had a challenge by Richard Petty riding a new Polaris snowmobile. James cut the Mini up and added his homemade ski front and tread rearend both of them operating on hydraulics so it was still street legal. The Mini gave the Polaris a good run but just missed out at the finish line. Awesome.

It was just a Cooper wasn't it? I didn't think it was an S.

Cheers.

Being from the states, we unfortunately see a lot of Jessie James. And yes, it appears that he is like that all the time. The guy is pretty talented though. He got his fame making motorcycles.

I think so, but personally I quite like it :D . Apart from his obvious talent, he's actually quite funny - shame that West Coast Chopper (Jesse James') merchandise is so much more expensive than Orange County Chopper's tho'.

:D :D :D
