    It's amazing how a few drone flights can spice up a video. :)

    Also, nice Mini! I like the MCM guys.

    so they are getting serious about the mods now, and since all real Minis are supercharged, they are adding one to the classic Mini as well. And they are excited: "this is the best thing we've ever done, other than being born"

    Very interesting. I hadn't considered putting a R53 supercharger on a classic Mini.

    Hmmmm...

    I've been looking at these for a while now.....this is an SPI car so it takes a little more to make it work, but the results will be fantastic.

    These are the guys whose kit I was looking at for Buzz....

    It's fun to watch the uninitiated learn how difficult it can be to work under the bonnet of a classic Mini.

    Okay, 3 minutes in on Part 4 and I finally figured out why I was getting confused. (i.e. having trouble telling the knowledgeable guest from the regular show host)

    Well, it's because the guest looks just like an exact clone of the host Marty! (especially with ball caps on both of them)

    You see, it's very easy telling Mike Brewer apart from Edd China...

    Thats about spot on. Since 150 is already taken I'll go maybe close to 175 with the E85 tune.

    Yes, but they're running a supercharger not a big ol turbo, and unless they're running a substantial underdrive pulley and a big intercooler, they'll be limited. It might go to 125, but I doubt it'll make 150-175. We'll see tho in a few days now.....
