1971 Mini Cooper "S" MARK III
Offered for sale is a well prepared, great running Mini. I have owned the car for over 7 years and have enjoyed owning it every minute. After purchasing it I basically went through the entire car and rebuilt or replaced everything. I had a well known West Coast Mini engine builder go through the engine. He went through it all (complete list of details available on request) over $4000 invested in machine work and labor, not including parts, etc. Car runs amazing. Engine (1360cc) was dyno'd and peaked at 82.2hp at 6200RPM at the wheels. Tq. measured at 78.8 at 4800 RPM. (Dyno available as well) The car has all your standard "S" features: front disc brakes, twin tanks and the 140mph speedo. Paint is driver quality and presents well as I had nothing but driving on my mind while it was being built. (There are areas of rust on the floor and rear trunk like many Mini's, minor repairs were done to prevent further issues) No trailer queens for me!! The interior is completely restored. I had larger seats installed and had everything recovered. Seats are a combination of textured and perforated vinyl. New carpet and a really nice Suede headliner. The list of parts is too long (complete invoice is available for review) but in a nut shell; everything is new. Car is running a coil spring suspension along with front and rear sway bars. I was pleasantly surprised with the ride quality and the amazing performance. Car is on 10" Mini Lites and Yokohama's. A great city car with tons of grunt!! A street legal slot car or go kart!!! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via ebay.

Mini sells 500,000th car in US
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Mini has officially sold 500,000 vehicles in the United States. The achievement came just a few days after the company commemorated its 11th anniversary in America. When the automaker first opened its doors to US buyers in 2002, it sold just 24,590 unis. Last year, the automaker moved 66,123 vehicles thanks in part to an expanded lineup that now includes the Clubman, Countryman, Coupe, Roadster and Paceman in addition to the stalwart Hardtop and Convertible. The company plans to have some 130 dealerships nationwide by the end of 2013; there are currently 116 Mini dealers in the US.
Mini helped reignite an interest in small cars with plenty of personality when it debuted the Cooper 11 years ago. The move helped pave the way for machines like the Fiat 500, Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic. Check out the quick press release on the 500,000th Mini model below.
Guerlain Chicherit going for world record for longest car jump
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Does the name Guerlain Chicherit ring any bells? It definitely should if you're into competitive skiing, as he was crowned world champion in off-trail freeriding four times. But he's also a rally driver, winning the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup in 2009 and even a stage of the Dakar Rally the following year. What really set him apart, though, was when he back-flipped a Mini Countryman rally car to set a world record last year. And now he's after another.
This time he's going after the world record for the longest ramp jump in a car. The record currently belongs to Tanner Foust at 332 feet, but Chicherit plans to break it by a good thirty more with a targeted distance of 360 feet.
He'll be using the Mini once again, sponsored by Monster Energy and Toyo Tires, and specially modified for the endeavor which he plans to undertake this Sunday under the auspices of Guinness World Record officials. We'll be watching to see how it all goes down.
Mini pokes fun at Anthony Weiner using fake Twitter account
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mini, never one to pass on a marketing opportunity, has pounced on the plight of embattled New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, who seems to have an issue with sending pictures of his genitals to young women. Observers will notice that this is the second time the unfortunately named Mr. Weiner has been in the spotlight for his picture messages.
Capitalizing on Weiner's alias, Carlos Danger, Mini has created an account on Twitter - @CarlosDMotor. With a note on the profile page listing "Danger" as the account's middle name, it's sent out just one tweet, containing the message, "Wanna get your hands on my stick?" Attached to the Tweet is a scantily clad Mini Cooper S, with a towel around its "waist" snapping a picture. Too soon? To borrow the brilliant pun from AdWeek, the "auto erotica" was the idea of Mini's marketing agency Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners. Click below for the full tweet.
