There is a long history between a lot of people on here (from other sites and other means of communications) that many of us do not know about. Yea, sorry that was vague. Basically, just recently I found this out and I think a lot of answers to many of your questions could be answered but it would take days and multiple threads with many pages along with lambasting a few vendors and tuners. I think if many of you knew what some of us know and now I know, you would change your way of thinking. Yes there is a time and place for it; but I think a lot of you, like I did on the RMW site, have spoken before knowing all the details and many of them are hidden and swept under the rug. I don't think I am at liberty to tell any of the things I know as these are not my stories to tell and the fact that this is not the arena for it. Again, I don't think it was time or place but it is what it is...

And this is why there are noise ordinances in most communities, so we don't all have to listen to crap day in and day out.-

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the MINI of the month contest for the second time. It was fun while it lasted, and then (unfortunately) it was not... Too bad. :cryin:
You are running a good race!

Hi Nathan (and community):
Your comments and temporary "shut-down" are probably well-deserved. I can't judge, since I haven't read the sniping posts. (If you could direct me to them, I would appreciate it.) :biggrin5:
I'm still a newbie. I think I may have posted a few months ago asking about exhaust systems. (Got "Cooper" ... an 07 S convertible with auto and every option that existed). After a lot of research and having my son-in-law inquire about installation cost, it turned out that a little garage ("Compare Auto") that lists "TIRES MUFFLERS TOWING" on their web site and business cards is owned by a guy who does frame-off restorations and works on show and race cars. At the time, I had decided on a K & N CAI and a Milltek exhaust. The Milltek would have run $850 and the garage owner wanted $130 to install.
Then he told my son-in-law that instead of spending $850 on a box of pipes and tubes, he could build me a custom exhaust that he guaranteed I'd love for around $350.
So for a total of less than what just the Milltek would have cost pre-installed, I got the CAI and a custom exhaust with MagnaFlow mufflers and tips. And the sound is AWESOME: sounds like 800 plus horsepower under the hood.
Now that I've put everyone to sleep, remember: A cold and rainy day can be depressing and gloomy, but a MINI is fun forever. -

I'm happy cause after a week at the dealer waiting for parts, and being delayed by terrible snow storms, I got my Clubby back today!
Just in time for the second snow storm to hit us tonight! -

Dang, I missed the fun. I was out motoring!

And those grumpy indoor motorers? Go back to that other site. No wait, that other site seems to have toned down too.ostcount

Forums turn into a type of entertainment if you spend all your time actually making stuff go fast to ultimately make or break records all the while driving to the grocery store after. But then again we are on a MINI forum where something like that is considered strictly race car and not a street car. Need to get with the times when 1000+whp cars or trucks drop kids off at soccer practice, drop the mail at the post office, then bust out a 230mph standing mile to blow off steam from the work day. The same idea applies to really any car that gets modified.

Stupid post like the one above just piss people off. It really sounds like you are one of the people that should find the door and walk out it.
As for me, I am an ass hole in person and I have never cared and still don't care what anyone thinks of me on the Internet.Attached Files:

Daddy always said, "You can have negative opinions about other people, but if you aren't capable of sharing your opinion to that person face-to-face, keep your mouth shut about your opinion to everyone else."
I haven't been able to visit M/A as often as I would have liked for the past several months, so I'm unaware of what started the drama that was the catalyst for the creation of this thread...
