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.

NZ refers to a New Zealand car, and OZ is from Australia (Aussy, OZ) have derrived from that.  Nice looking Mini.  I love the look of the small taillights on Minis.

I'm not sure what you mean by NZ or OZ but it is an MK2 with MK1 lights.I guess a while back it was popular to change out the MK2 lights with MK1's by cutting out the MK2's light housing and replacing it with a MK1 housing... go figure the 70'ds what a strange time. http://www.minimania.com/web/Item/13H222%2FADAPTER/AddedFrom/CatBrowse%2D%20LAMPS/InvDetail.cfmFor the history of my car.  My mini is a 67 it was built in Oxford then shipped to the French. Form France it was then shipped to the California desert where it lived through the 70ds and 80ds it was bought and sold a few times in California through the 80ds.  In 2001 the owner moved to Arizona and bought a house and could not keep the Mini.  I bought it in 2002.

Since I have had it I have replaced the here and there parts and the motor.  Now it is time for a ground up resto. I have decided to rebuild every thing.  I am going to go a good part stock with a few custom items.  I will keep you all posted.

VERY eager to watch your progress. I love to watch a car come together, as well as choices for color, interior, engine, mods. Thanks for adding a fun post to the list.

Now, to your pics. This one looks like it needs a caption like "WE'VE GOT YOU SURROUNDED OLD MAN"
