rigidjunkie Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I met a few of you guys at the first Cars and Coffee this year. This is my lightly modified 2005 Mini COoper (no S) performance wise it just has a CAI, will probably add exhaust when the original one dies. Just upgraded tires this year to a set of Yoko S-Drives. 175 to 195 made a huge difference in grip. http://rigidjunkie.smugmug.com/Cars/Mini-Oranged/Driver-Side/375820963_fsXUV-M.jpg http://rigidjunkie.smugmug.com/Cars/Mini-Oranged/DSC00003/733766776_zUTjn-M.jpg http://rigidjunkie.smugmug.com/Cars/Mini-Oranged/Interior-1/375821048_Zq3Ch-M.jpg 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Is it too soon to get lippy? You drive a Creamsickle Mini. Your opinion is invalid. :thumbup: KillJoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like you.. That being said, the only other person I know who drives a Mini (non s) is a 50 something woman, who "really loves the gas mileage". An S is passable by men as "it's just so fun to drive". S-Line or S8 > Creamsicle shoe box that traps 82mph in the 1/4. PS: Welcome frisky dingy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Welcome, not too keen on Minis (except the old ones), but I don't hate em. Plus that little foamish looking intake is so sad just sitting there by itself, I can't bring myself to negative rep you. So welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigidjunkie Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I admit the Mini is not fast, but once it has some momentum it is a lot of fun. Plus it is miles better than the pile of shit Hyundai Accent I had before it, of course that car was punishment from the car gods for putting an Integra into a tree. I prefer AutoX to drag racing, but to each their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) I prefer AutoX to drag racing, but to each their own. Yeah... guys with slow cars tend to lean that way... KillJoy Edited April 16, 2010 by KillJoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nice to see you made it to the party I showed my wife the pictures of the Mini fest we had and now she wants to get a Mini if she gets full time at BMW. The thing alot of people don't understand about Mini's is the personal touches owners put on the cars. I had no idea until we looked into getting one and Mini folks really have a passion for making their car fit them. Good to also see you don't the the interwebz as serious business.
