Minis in the Smokies?

Too cool.

lil smokes?... Now I'm hungry.

We are going over to the UK for the event. We will be at the event in Birmingham. The plan is to buy a Classic British open over there. Drive it for the 2 weeks we are there and then ship it back. My Fiance has a RHD classic with a Honda V tec conversion.. Its the White one.

Wow, that is a really sweet one!! Pretty fast too, I bet.

so has eny one put "a new mini motor(BMW)" in a old one ?

Bam, you'll need to buy the Mini soon. I guess you could say, they can see us coming!$!$ We'll be in a motorhome with a Mini in tow over there. Your fiance's car would be a blast in the Tennessee mountains, think about adding another Mini trip this year! I was curious who bought that Mini, did she keep ALL of the checkerboards??

The BMW Peugeot/Dodge engine/tranny is to big/wide...

I'd love to go but thats the weekend my wife is due. I fear that if I went out of town that weekend to go to a car show..... I'd be shot on return.

Yep still looks the same. We had a Honda tuner come out and re program the ECU. It also was bumped in the back end, so it now has a new rear panel.

Need to see how April is looking, We are doing the 24 hours of Lemons. So im not sure if we will make this Mini meet. We do the ones over in Orlando, I recall seeing your car there last year.

Need someone to drive one of the Minis up there? I'd even drive the Woody up for that one...

Sorry fink, we're trailering Minissan and there'll be around 7 clowns in the turbo Mini. The Woody proved to have crappy brakes in the mountains . But thanks!
