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.

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.

The backhoe trick - yikes.  That one definitely has a higher "ouchie" potential than the bobcat!  If I was there you'd have dents in the side of the rail car and the backhoe would be upside down...with me probably screaming like a little girl for someone to let me out.

I have watched this in person many times.

Its how they load/unload rail cars at a rock yard.

INSANE!

That was really stunning.... no idea it was even theoretically possible. I'll wager that adult beverages were involved in the idea if not the execution...

Ditto on the cool driving. Now I wanna see him get it off the truck the same way.

Holy crap that was some cool driving.  At first I thought he was just going to go ass-over-tea kettle.
