Don't buy an automatic Mini unless you are thick skinned and can ignore the ugly rude hateful comments from the purists in the Mini community, I've even been called a liar about the speed of my Mini or that I faked it, even though I show the speedo and tach they don't believe a stock auto Mini can do these speeds, it's actually slower now than 2004, then I could hit 105 mph easily, and 110 on the back straight at Road Atlanta but that has a downhill section halfway down before the bridge.
@mbarje Man Shelbys took a beating last weekend. On saterday there was a green 1967 GT500 that over heated and had to be towed away. Heartbreaking to say the least. He was still using belt driven radiator fans It's worth the time and small lose in value to ad electric fans. way more reliable

It would have been great to get everyone together on the same day. It was a lot of fun.
