Any update?
 

im happy to know that someone is keeping records of what im saying, a clear proof that he is learning from it, it's very flattering. honestly im not angry, im overwhelmed with inner joy.  nice to know i have a fan here in MM.  

thank you dave!

Once again you kill me Dave.?When he started a thread,  My car died on me. All I could think was Great I hope it didnt hurt.

Too funny Dave. Words will come back to haunt him, and all this on $5.00 worth of gas he put in the car 3 weeks ago. When written on the internet it is here for eternity.

You guys are pathetic. It is easy to go 90mph, you just have to think outside the box and stop being so narrow minded. 

Just do some research - for example, MMO, LOS, CIM, MMSPW, WCAIK, SHL, BTFF, and when all that is done, a straight downtube, a larger intercooler, and an RMW dyno tune should make any 998 sing.

You just need to think differently. That said, always remember that fast cars wears faster, classic minis are for display only ,because it has a very cute and attractive appearance. I mean i dont want to risk myself driving it 200miles away.?!! But i do wish drive it on weekends just around town and show people hey i have a cute little car,  or everyday quick erands and groceries.

For me, im happy with a smooth running, quiet mini , good in gas, with lots of power going uphill.  thats my ideal mini.  Speed? not my tempo.

Color me surprised that the "road vibration" didn't make your points go out of adjustment.

Seriously, why don't you go out to the garage and do some real work on making your car safe?

zippy's new forum... we are all invited !!

At the last MME we found these on two occasions behind a super-fast white moke.  And to go out on a limb here Zippy, with that windshield is it that a Stearman or possibly a Waco?  Yours?

Another stupid statement with no knowledge to back it up. I personally drove my Moke up to 90mph gps verified and there is a guy whose name i can't remember right now that raced a Moke at speeds up to 130mph if memory serves me correctly. By the way they are faster with the top up.

not being able to drive 50mph is my choice, but the car is very much capable of doing so.  now the other day when i was in the highway i just thought of doing WOT for the first time and surprisingly it reach up to 90mph on my celphone's gps.  until i saw the CHP hiding behind the bush then i slowed down. 

"...otherwise even your mustache will fly away at 90mph..."

Actually, 70mph does that quite well.......

So, you went from not being able to drive above 50mph to 40mph faster just by pouring in some marvel mystery oil? Color me interested.

seriously no amount of good maintenance can make a Moke run 75 or even 60 for that matter, and you wouldn't dare driving it to that speed otherwise even your mustache will fly away at 90mph because it has no roof., those vehicles are just good for golf courses or farms.... thats just my opinion.

as to proper maintenance, first thing you should do is have an oil change, then add 20% lucas oil stabilizer. ( im serious) it makes the engine quiet and prevent overheating. it may sound like a joke but i strongly recomend it, try it just once.

Specifically, what* maintenance procedures to attain that 90mph when a couple of weeks ago you couldn't drive more than 50mph?

*-Enquiring minds want to know.... You haven't mentioned doing much more than replacing a mirror... Pictures/video would be great. I'm doing my best to find out how to get my Moke over 75mph....

its all about good maintenance to attain that 90mph.... 

Well, he must be some sort of sponge, having absorbed enough knowledge to get that -ahem- mini cruising comfortably at 90mph in such a short period of time. 

I just hope it's safe - don't know if Tony (aka velocity/Robster/azBob,Paulchen/Coolsterr/PacificLuke etc. and maybe someday also known as SpongeBob) has the fasteners, wheelnuts or CV's torqued to the proper specification as prescribed in the trusty Haynes manual or BMC publications. 

What i have noticed with scooter boy 90 is he picks and choses the questions from members he wants to answer. He never attempts to answer ones that may portray his lack of Mini or general knowledge or ones that put him in a corner without believable answers, bit of a shame really as members here have offered help but he see's it differently.

Seasonal salutations, by the way - hope you're doing fine, would have written sooner but I've been really busy lately.

Don't fret John. On another thread he said that his temperature gauge stayed under the N* in 80f heat. Which is about as hot as it gets in Arizona. [rolleyes]

*-And, we have no idea what actual temperature "N" is.
