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.

Those are some pretty neat looking wheels. They remind me of the old Hurst wheels that were sold in '60's. I memory serves me correctly, the Hurst wheels were packaged in a large metal can. These wheels and the cans are quite rare today.

As they say wheels or choice of wheel are a personal thing.  For me personally at 500 greenbacks per wheel I can think of a lot of others that I would rather have and could pick up several sets at that price.

Except for fact they are rare (I guess), have BRM name and are real (?) magnesium, they look to much like a number of other much cheaper Mini wheels available.

Opinions I express here do not reflect my wife's.

AWESOME! They look like the factory wheelcovers on my Corvairs and Dart GT... or rather the wheels the factory wheelcovers were copied from. If I had the appropriate Mini I'd have to actually consider springing for a set of these... even at this price. Thank goodness I don't. ;-)
