NCA 2008 Report

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.

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.

Great result, Ron....enjoy it and be careful out there. 

NOW - Tell us about that very nice garage /workshop.  How about some more pics of that as well?  It piqued my curiousity when you first posted the outside pics of you and the children washing the car, and every time you snap a few pics of the car inside it becomes more interesting.  Looks like it has a ton of room in each bay, good lighting and a great floor finish.  Seems like a great place to do a resto.  MORE, more!

Looking good Ron. I'll miss the Lewes show next weekend, but am looking forward to seeing your car up close and getting a ride from you when we get together in Carlisle next month.

Well, here it is "Kermit" is all done. I need to finish the polishing process, but the car is pretty much finished up. I still need to put the dynamat under the bonnet, and my spot lights on the front, and some rear "reverse" lights. The car show is this weekend and I hope the weather cooperates. After the show is when I will begin the ipod stereo, and add on all the lights. I have to say, the side trim was a pain in the arse. It came out ok, but was a learning experience! I hope to see everyone at Carlisle, I will be trailering the car up, following Pop's motorhome. Later.. Ron J.
