Very true Dave, but there is a school of thought away from here that the blatantly obviously not-the-original-Tony troll is actually Jemal.   Whatever the truth of the spoof account, it's condoned by the powers that be so we have to live with it.

Guys, this is special tony the specialist's special place. You need to respect this,  and stop posting in the special place he set up to talk about his special stuff all on his own
That way, you can tell him to $&#£ off from other posts and go back to his special rusty, bondo'd pink, steal-pics-from-the-internet-for-his-own-fantasy unique hole, in what used to be a pretty good forum before this special idiot screwed it up for you. Sooner Don S***s this down and special Tony tries this special stuff on a forum with an ounce of moderation the better. 


It's been fun, but this place is done. I have no hatred, and appreciate the good times. But this place now belongs to Tony and his pink mini.

I don't think my reply was naughty. Based on a photo of you, shirtless, on a scooter, I'd think you'd know about male cleavage.
But there you go, changing your avatar photo again.

You would have to ask him. I don't know... maybe that IS his chest. However, a gentleman would not ask.
BUT! He hasn't changed his avatar in years, if ever. So, when he posts, it does represent him.

So i have a post thanksgiving day vacay for 3days. And the wifey still overseas, Chillin' all by myself,Just got back from a 100+ mile cruiise around town trying to display my mini, gad, my mini drives to quiet and powerful. I have an A+ series 998 engine that almost drive and handles like an acura integra. Im so proud of my mini. Oil additives can really make a big difference in power and torque.

Correction: going downhill my mini drives like an acura integra . But going uphill , it drives like a riding lawnmower.... can't complain, i giuess all minis are like this, i gotta learn to accept it. (Sad face icon)

I wasn't thinking of a highways department weigh station, but it might work. I was thinking more about a weigh scale at one of those huge truck stops that provide fuel, food, showers, etc. for truckers. Some of them provide weighing services such as this:

hahaha, o come on sir Dan,,, you should see my mini now....you won't believe it was once a pink wonder... But thanks for the advice sir dan, there's one weighing station near my place, i'll try that one. But i'm not sure if the Highway Patrol will even allow me to exit towards the weighing station, let me ask sir Minerva, he was once a policeman.

i wonder how do they weigh their minis in London, or England or Great Britain?

i'm amazed how those minis can stand on it's nose, i saw a video on youtube on this.

My question is how do i weigh my mini? I was thinking if i put one of the front wheel on top of a weighing scale and multiply it by 2.  THEN i will do the same in the back wheel.

Formula :  one Front wheel weight x2  +  one Back wheel  weight X2 = Total Net weight. 


i weigh the front and back separately because the front is more heavier than the back because of the engine...  I cannot do 1 wheel X4  ,it's not proportion.
Your Mini probably weighs somewhere between 1300 and 1500 pounds. Assuming roughly 60% is on the front wheels, each front wheel is supporting 390 to 450 pounds. Either way, you will crush bathroom scales.

You could go to a truck stop and see if the self-serve weigh scales can do your Mini - they can provide the load on each axle of a semi-trailer.

Or go to a local metal recycling yard - they weigh vehicles as they come in loaded and then go out unloaded and pay based on the weight of material you leave with them. They might do you a favour. You want net weight so may have to get out of your car, or deduct your weight when you get home.

But don't leave your Mini unattended! They might scoop it up by mistake.
