I took this picture on Saturday morning in San Francisco...



I was surprised to find the PPW in it when I got home.

Yes, I also have a Mini, it's the second one in the line and although you can't see them well it's even got 350Z seat in it. Thanks 05 Nismo!

Mini's are cool, I tried to talk my wife into getting one so I could drive it and tell people, "it's not mine, it's my wife's". She wouldn't bite though. A friend of mine who live in Germany has one that is the bawls. He got every option and then modded it some. Nice pic!

GTNPU Z, you win the prize! I did not even see it when I drove down the hill.

Well we have TI coming up.

Just a little history on this Mini run, we had Minis from all over the west in San Ramon, Mt. Diablo and Blackhawk this weekend for Mini Meet West and this run was a way for us Nor Cal folks to show our guest what it is like to do a run here. We also wanted to give them the most thorough and fun trip through the city we could muster.

The way we did this run was we met at TI at 6:30am and got off the bridge at Fremont, then went down to the embarcadero past Pier 39, then drove up to Lombard, filled it up and I ran out, took a bunch while everyone else stayed in their cars in case the cops showed up. Then went down to Marina Green, then around to Crissy fields and over to the Persidio. Down past the Legion of honor, parked in front of the windmill at the beach, then toured Golden Gate park, went to the top of Twin Peaks, took some more pictures, then down past Height and back onto the bay bridge.
It took a few hours, I am not sure exactly because I was delirious after being in back playing clean up and dying from inhaling everyone else's exhaust all morning.

The starting time of 6:30 was key, traffic was minimal on most of the roads until the very end so we were able to stay together without a lot of problems. We also used a tandem lead car configuration, this allowed us to run two and three lanes wide at times and still get back in line for turns while 95% of the group had no idea where we were going at any particular point.

If people are interested, I could bring maps and meet you up at TI at 6:15 on September 18th and we should be back just in time for the meet.

By the way, remember why I wanted those seats, for the autocross... well I got the best time for my class, 13" wheel minis, with a time of 32.339. Best of the day was 28.232 (+1) in a 10" car driven by a serious autoX guy (yes he beat the new MINIs closest, a 28.811? (+1)). So I did ok.

On the 350 exhaust, no way, I have the big bore Jet Hot coated Maniflow LCB and full stainless 1 7/8" RC40 single box system with it's unique rolled tip. Add to that the sucking sound from a 3x6" K&N round filter, full radius ram stack though an HIF44 (44mm) SU carb stacked on a high lift forged rocker Elgin 003 cammed stage 3 head, bolted to a 1380 block (for those that don't know, thats an offset 120 over stock bore). It sounds bad @ss in tunnels like Highway 24, and sweet as honey most of the time.
