1962 Morris Mini on 2040-cars
Akron, Ohio, United States
|
Fully restored and sorted car that needs nothing other than to be enjoyed and driven. Over $12,000.00 was spent on a professional rotisserie restoration to the body (see pictures for full details of the bodywork done). There is no filler whatsoever in the body and it is as absolutely as perfect and rust free of an early Mini as you will ever find. Stunning black base coat/clear coat paint with yellow stripes has been on the car for over 15 years and looks as good today as it did the day it was done. You will not find nicer paint or bodywork on an early mini. The motor is a .040 over 1275 built by George Bauchman of Midwest Motorsports and it is built to as hot of a street motor as can possibly be built and still run on pump gas. Pistons are Hepolite cast pistons with 10:1 compression and the head and cam were done by George and it has his limited prep H production cam. The motor makes an estimated 100 to 105 horsepower and it is a very streetable motor that pulls smoothly from 2000rpm all the way to 7000rpm and has all ARP hardware throughout and is on a 45DCOE Weber and Aldon distributor for better driveability. The gearbox is a rod change and has a limited slip differential installed and puts the power down through 10" Revolution wheels and Yokohama A008 tires. The brake lines are all -3 braided teflon lines with an adjustable in-line Tilton blade adjuster unit. Virtually every nut and bolt was new when the car was restored in 2002, and every suspension piece was either nickel plated or zinc plated (see pictures) All suspension components are fully adjustable from Mini Mania. The car has an 8 gallon ATL fuel cell (with sending unit to dash guage), plus high output fuel pump and Holley fuel pressure regulator. There is a custom fully carpeted interior with matching Corbeau seats, and Autometer gauges. All lights and electrics work perfectly. The car was built as a hot street car that could be enjoyed as is and also occasionally be autocrossed. If someone desired, it could also easily be converted to a vintage race car with the addition of a roll cage. There is well over $35,000 invested in this car and it is ready to go and enjoy.

Tony Hawk jumps a moving Mini
Sun, 25 May 2014Remember a couple of years ago when Tony Hawk jumped over a Lexus LFA on his skateboard? Well that was nothing compared to what he's done here.
Sure the LFA is a more impressive car than a Mini hatchback, but that Japanese supercar was sitting still when the world's most famous skater jumped over it. And it was parked sideways. This time Tony's jumped a moving car, front to back. It gets even more impressive than that when you see what happens to the ramp after he's done with it, but we don't want to ruin the surprise.
The stunt was performed in celebration of the partnership between Mini USA and Hawk's Birdhouse Skateboards Tour, details of which you can read in the press release under the video below.
BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
Mini blows up over women applying makeup in cars
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Distracted driving is a very real problem. From drivers with phones dangling from their ears to those constantly adjusting the stereo or dealing with rowdy children in the back seat, anything that diverts attention away from the act of driving is a potential danger. And yes, that would indeed include applying makeup while driving.
Publicis, the advertising agency used by Mini in Mexico, came up with an inventive (or offensive, depending on your point of view) way of reminding female drivers "that there's a time and place for everything." And while we're not quite sure of the veracity of the statistics cited in the video below, or even the necessity of its production in general, perhaps we'll just take it as a reminder to pay attention while driving... no matter what else happens to be on our minds. Or faces, as it were.
