Now that I've offended Dave.0, there's never been a better time to introduce myself than now. So, hi everyone! Longtime motoring enthusiast here, but only recently (July) bought one for myself. Past vehicles include a 2006 Scion xA 5MT, 2012 Focus SE 5MT, and 2013 GTI 6MT... none of which were left stock. My fiancee also drives a 2010 R56 base that I helped her pick out last summer - that one's a stick too. But, now I have this: So far, I've been able to resist modifying it, save for adding a Helix SSK, NM shift box cover, and a Raceseng Slammer shift knob in mirror red. Otherwise, this car basically ticks all the right boxes for me in stock form.
Welcome Zillon.... Nice MINI.... GP2..... Mini's fastest MINI on the Green Hell.... It's in the record books... Just ask David.O......
Welcome to the site, and dont take any carp from Dave or myself... Take it in stride, you will eventually understand us. We also like a new guy who can dish a little back at us too...
Appreciate the warm welcome. Hoping to make it down to Helix sometime soon - the weather around here's been horrible. But carp-slinging is so much fun. :lol: Also, love the rat-rod MINI. :lol:
Your Photography is nice... (From your shifter write up) I really need to get a good camera again, you can only do so much with an iPhone.
I like to spice things up a bit. You asked for it... Current road bike. Cannondale CAAD10. RIP. Taken out by a Cat 5 hack in my last road race. Sold the frame to a friend who had it repaired and continues to ride it. The Niner. My trusty steel steed. Raced on this bike through college, it's been a wonderful bike through the years. What it started as: My shooting has suffered this year... shooting the photos for the knob review was refreshing. I need to make an effort to get out and shoot more in 2015.
