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.

Barney has a breath of new life in him but still a bit asthmatic!!  The motor will be going in shortly and with the crash cart hopefully we'll get a strong pulse!  He wintered well for sure with his new floors, doors, rear frame, and boot floor installed.  With a little more time and tlc the motor, interior, and remaining glass will be reinstalled.  He'll be off for paint and while I wish Chip Foose was free.... no I really mean would paint this car for free! a friend of mine will get him shiny like a new dime or ten pence.  Just an update for anyone who may be interested or know this car who I bought from Mike in NB.  Thanks to everyone and anyone who answered questions during this rebuild.  I'll post another pic when it's a finished project.
