Nice! Always loved his car and input. Good to see its still out there! Lol! I remember that straight exhaust thread......:crazy:

 

Excellent write-up and even better car! Modding your MINI is definitely an adventure.

 

I'm glad this didn't get lost when the NAMagzine folded. Thanks for posting.

 

My Mini

was delivered November 2008 - She's a 2009 MINI Cooper Clubman S Pepper White with black bonnet stripes, black top with the Convenience Package, UJ valve stems and arm rest. Had someone tell me one day she looks just like a tuxedo! Her name is MINI Annie!

GREAT!
haha

very nice write up!

 

This was a really cool. Thanks for writing this up guys! :cornut:

 

I nominate K-huevos!

 

wow...this is such a cool place...I'm glad Tuls told me about this...I'm a nube...can you guys help me mod my 2003 Mini?

 

heh. :lol:

 

Ok Sid :crazy: Just drop it off !!! I have a few spare parts that I have not painted RED yet. :lol:

 

lol...I'm sober now...no need for red eyes...

 

As a nube, I'd recommend you start reading Mini forums for about 5 years, make the occasional post, then start modding your car. If you're really lucky you could end up like this other guy with an '03 Mini (hey is yours silver, too?) who became famous for the mods he did to his car, his contributions to the internet Mini world and his many innovations and commitment to modding excellence...

Good to see you here, Sid!!

hey, as a nube, how come you have 13 posts, and I only have 7?

 

That is very awesome.. good to see and hear more about other peoples cars!!! Thank you for this

 

lol Phil...that sounds like too much work for me...maybe I'll just buy it off him

Great write up and presentation of your super Mini Phil

Great MINI, drPhil!

 

Thanks! I'm constantly working on it--it's like therapy whether I'm driving it to work, or on the track, or working on it, or washing it. I guess I'm a pretty sad guy... This weekend is a new engine damper (why not try an alternative, eh?) and a JCW CF boot handle, just so that everything not painted is CF!

cheers,
Phil

 

So, nothing chrome, or polished, or polished and clearcoated (paint), or blacked out with vinyl, or rubber, etc.

Maybe being a little literal and exacting..............

Also, please drop me a PM sometime and tell me about your brake ducts, looks like I will have to piece something together, thanks.
