Default Introducing my car & I

Alright.
I know some of you on here and probably more, I just don't realize it.
I'm Gary, from Roanoke, go to Radford University. blah, blah, bah, bah.
I drive the yeller Mini with junk done to it. Here is some more detailed pics of it.... Now let me have it!

In July of '05.


A few months ago/today.




Some of the suspension junk.




Some engine shots.




Good bye.


let me know if you wanna know stuff about stuff.
And in case you were wondering about the speediness of this monster machine.. I have beat various 80's model red dragons, dual point honda's and plenty of full size vans have been beat by this thing.

Thats a very nice mini you have there just from the pics i can see h&r coilovers, aftermarket swaybars and some kind of after market suspension arms so i bet it really does feel like a gokart lol. only thing i don't like is the black bumper but thats just me being picky but anyway welcome

This thing looks really good in person! I used to love Mini's, and then I was just kind of "blah" about them... for some reason I stopped liking them, but yours does not fall into that category. I saw you going the other way on 581 the other day and your Mini is one of those cars that will always turn my head and I will always notice even if I'm not paying attention! I mean, for one, it's freaking bright yellow!

It's a cool car though. Props to you. It's clean.

I agree, the black bumper really does look good, it's definitely different.

Not too shabby, never auto-x'd or went to the track.. but bent mountain and any on/off ramp is always a blast.

Definitely, got it as low as she can go for drivability.

Thanks man, yeah, everything suspension wise is taken care of, nothing left to do with that. Yeah, had a mini fender bender a couple years ago and cracked the yellow bumper, and got the grayish one off eBay and was gonna get it painted, never did.. And then this really grew on me, so i dig it.

Right on, let me know if you ever need any help with it.. I have taken pretty much everything apart and back together on mine.
