Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
What can transform a peaceful sylvan lawn in Gold Country into a carnival overnight? The annual Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party of course! Those who were there got to see first hand all the eye candy, but for those who were not, the Mini's ranged from an electric Moke to a VTEC powered Classic, to Randy Steven's tricked out CVT to Robert Holt’s Purple Haze convertible to three full on Mini race cars: my sprint car, Jacques Andres' enduro car and Eric and Colin Herricks's rally car, and many in between.

Race Report -USTCC

Infineon Raceway, April 11, 2008.
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
My Mini has a new setup for this race. Speed parts from my sponsor Mini Mania have been added by my sponsor Bay Bridge Motors and USTCC sponsor Nitto has provided four brand new NT 01 tires. This will be my first official race with the US Touring Car Championship and I look forward to hitting the grid with more horsepower and quicker lap times.

MINI Clubman Review

Published: 21st April 2008
The new MINI was launched in 2001, to much acclaim. Although bigger than the original Mini, what it lacked in rear legroom, it made up for in unusual styling and a vast array of personalisation elements, much loved by a local estate agent.

The MINI Clubman has the same raft of options but its main benefit is the extra length, which should make rear passengers happier.

Here are a couple of pictures of my SPI, the tint is a 20% smoke color, not too dark at night but good for the bright sunlit days of Phoenix, AZ.  Your poll needs the addition of, "Tint it because you want to, not beacause someone else thinks that it would be a good idea."

No tint. How will people be able to see the big grin on your face while you are driving your mini?

DAMN. Every time I come up with an idea, someone beats me to it. H82WRK did the lights and the checkers before me, now you are doing the tinting. I was thinking of doing just the rear sides, partly because I think the rear would be too bowed to get a smooth fit. With my recent racer look, I though a couple vintage racing stickers of dark windows would look cool, and like you said, if you don't like it, take it off. If you have a picture of your car in good light, send it to me or post it. I'll tint it via photoshop for you.

 Never done a poll before, lets see how it goes.

So I am thinking about tinting my windows.  I am pretty good at it and have done several friends cars with good results just not sure how it would look on a mini. (car is all white).  Since all the glass is flat on a mini it would be really easy to do and not to hard to remove if I don't like it.  What do you think?

Suggestions?

If any of you have pics of your mini with tinted windows or any pics of an all white mini with tinted windows please post.
