A Flock of Minis

[JT Previa]

I received a small compact box in the mail yesterday from Shotgun Dave. My first thought, was "Wow, that was fast- across the country from California!" After opening the box, I started taking out Mini Cooper resin castings, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,...that's all we ordered...7, 8, 9...what the? 10 total car bodies in that small box, including a bonus Sprite! It was like the circus clown car - how did he fit them all in there? :handgestures-thumbup:



Dave tossed in some blemished bodies because he knows I like to heavily modify my cars. I can tell you, these are barely compromised, and as a racer, I like 'em thin and light. Methe 05 is getting a few of these beauties too. I've got an embarassment of riches to work on when I can make some time. VTEC's Rallycross Mini might be an inspiration too.



Thanks Dave for providing great material for scratchbuilders! :banana-dance:

Aaah, that Mini entourage makes me smile. :D

Dave's very generous as usual.

Can hardly wait to see what you and the northeast guys come up with.

Makes me wonder out loud (ok - in text) - will there be a Autograss 2 this year? :D

[TuscoTodd]

Sweet deal!
A couple of the newer members on here that run at the same track I do, expressed an interest in building one of those after they saw how much fun everyone had with them last time. :)

Will keep an eye open for an update in the future!
Thanks Dave!

Love the image of minis packed in a clown car.

That is great! Just don't feed them after midnight!

JT - You will definitely have to get in on the next round - it was a LOT of fun on the first round! :D

That ought to keep you out of trouble for at least a few days!
