Yep, I know my sister did that also when she was younger.

 

How did it do on the drive down to Fontana...

 

:cornut: Yeh Nathan, come on, tell us what registered on the Butt/Smile gauge?
devil::devil::ihih::ihih::lol::lol: WOW! That could be 2 gauges or one:devil::devil::ihih::ihih::eek6::eek6Please compare and contrast old Gnat to new Gnat as per driving impressions.

(I got my 'Gnat Shirt' and am wearing it now. Whose ever idea it was, thanks!)

 

That's better than the University of Georgia, my Alma Mater. They must have received sizeable donations from someone with the last name of Mehre and someone with the last name of Butts to help build a new sports facility. Someone had the bright idea of naming it the "Butts-Mehre" building.

No... I'm not making it up...

Oohhh... looks like they have expanded the Butts-Mehre since I was there! Just what I needed... an even larger Butts-Mehre!

Now... back on topic... I'd love to hear a before and after report on driveability, power, etc.

 

it's got some quickness... :devil: i think it's on video.

 

Yea, it's pretty strong, any bets on how long it will take Nate to go from his "tune it ultra safe" mode to "Hmmm, wonder what it really do?" Mode? :lol:

 

Nathan, hate to break it to you, but it kinda is "in your face" loud.
Thankfully, it's no longer "rip your face clean OFF" loud! :lol:

When you're running it sounds cool, we voted yours "sounds most like a real race car".
I agree - more than once I had to "Duck and Cover" when you pulled away! Small arms fire, indeed!

 

The squirrels have left the general area.....

 

Nathan=Squirrel-repellant

:biggrin5:

 

It's not just the squirrels.

:devil:

 

THAT's what we like to hear!

yay!

 

Yep Gnat is running good & loud as all of the folks in Central Ohio can attest to.

 

Aggressive sounding exhausts on MINI's just plain rock !

 

:lol:

That should read..........

Loud pipes

Saves bicyclist, pedestrians, small furry critters, large furry critters and anything else that it scares away!

 

"Loud pipes save lives" = LOL

Saw that on the back of a Harley rider. Given he was SO concerned with safety, I'd have LOVED to ask him about his lack of sleeves, leathers... helmet...

GO GNAT!

 

No problem Dixon. That was a "Long time ago, in a Galaxy, far, far away".

Believe it or not, I actually hold a current TS clearance. :lol:

Nathan I'm thinking a FUBAR wheel speed sensor.
