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.

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.

Frenched in rear plate?  It's just running a stick on plate without the flip-down bracket.

Very sweet car....looks purpose-built, unlike some other cars that just have piles of period gadgets heaped into them, and get referred to as 'works replicas'.

We could have Pete bid on it, and then send Mr. "UK BIDDERS ONLY" a picture of it in the US once it shipped.  That sure is one pretty Mini.  

(edit) What's the big circular lookin' thingy above the flywheel?  Early version of "Mr. Fusion?"

I would say it is a bargain.  The real issue is:  where is the choke knob?  left or right...

beauuutiful.

I always wanted a mini like that. $25k is steep-ish, but sounds like it would be worth every penny (compared to building one yourself, that is).

Let's see what it sells for though.

HOLY CRAP. That is one hell of a serious replica. I dig the front lights, the passenger foot area mounted servo, and the frenched in rear plate. Quite the car!
