    Sweeet. Let Paul or I know, we're always down for some track time. It's addicting. I've got a few more things to do to Buddy before spring tracking starts.

    SPRING tracking? Why wait?

    October 14, PittRace, the PittStopMINI Club annual GyMINIkhana. Not HPDE, but some vehicle dynamics training, a side-by-side autocross, and a road course (coned up, unfortuntely, but still loads of fun). register under event calendar at Home - PittStop MINI Club...

    So, organizing THAT was what I did not "to", but "for" my Mini today...

    And we will do another in February (Feb 11, tentatively), where we get to slide around in the schnee....

    Thanks for the offer. I'm just not 100% happy with my set up on the MINI at the moment. So I'm investing my time/extra cash into getting it at close to 100% for spring time.

    With that said, my search for a winter ride continues and has put my track MINI budget on hold till the winter rides found. Plus, in need of setting cash back for vacation in December.

    Keeping the February date in mind though if everything's set up by then!

    Yesterday I was and cleaned my car and went to Helix to see if anyone could bump me off the top spot on the Dyno wall of fame.

    My spot is still safe. :Thumbsup::lol:

    Thanks....

    The wheel refurbish, the Hankook V12's, the Swift springs and the IE fixed camber plates really transformed the handling. It's a real joy driving the MINI now..... Puts a big smile on my face......:D
