Yeah, it was a nice neighborhood - I'm known as the crazy with all the Mini's already - my saving grace is that my next door neighbors are English and are crazier than me, compared to all the stodgy conservative Americans who are all around us at least. ...and my next door neighbor on the other side of me has a TVR. That tends to deflect some of the criticism - except when I get my 27cc gas powered scooter with the tuned pipe out and zip around the circle...

Yeah, clutch is very "sharp"

Thanks for the compliments on the car.

Don't worry, I'll get on it - that was the first minute of the thing even running at all - you went to 11K on your first shift, right? Lol

Some new pictures of Freddie - I got my plate and registration yesterday afternoon, so I thought it would be a good time to take the beastie out and open it up!

All I can say is WOW! Gotta love a 11750 RPM redline. This thing's a monster - willing lighting up the front wheels in first, second and still darting like mad in third - this is after a full four wheel race alignment too! The acceration from a rolling start at a stop light caught me so off gaurd I bonked my head on the seat back - and I drive a 300BHP Subaru WRX STi as a daily driver...

I took a few pictures of how the car sits as of today (attached) - never mind the dangling wires - they're not tucked up yet, but that's a 30 minute job after I wire up the signals and front lights - the only remaining job, finally!

It'll be because of the server maintainence dude, if you upload your pics onto photobucket then copy andd paste the [IMG] code into the reply box, they'll hopefully come up.
