HAHAHAHa

lol@ the huge plume of exhaust at 0:12. Was a monkey driving?

 

[einride]

police done take my license plates away

 

[MFJ]

uh oh... too much to drink?

 

[Hell Mike]

police done take my license plates away

???

 

[einride]

???

havent paid tax apparently, car is technically owned by dad and he forgot to send me the bill

nothing happens though except i gotta pay the tax and go over to the station and get my plates back, nice cops

i was hammer drunk the day before they stopped me though (civilbil, vem fan räknar med att snuten kör folka golf) so i was nervous as shit for the blåsning but i passed

 

[lurch70]

i want these wheels so badly for my Clubman ... $260 a piece without tires ... diapers be damned

 

[einride]

i'm afraid that car looks very embarassing lurch

why would anyone lower a car that much it looks absolutely ridonkelous

 

[lurch70]

it's not my car, nor do I want to lower mine.

this entire trend of "low and slow" and tucking tires is actually something that came out of Europe and is much bigger there than here.

i am dumbstruck and gobsmacked by this startling revelation

never in my life would i have noticed this on my own

willing to bet mike passes about 70 of these on his way to work every morning

 

[lurch70]

you're not helping me at all.

Do all Mini drives have custom license plates? No offense to anybody here, but if you have a custom plate, you need to be punched square in the jaw. Absorption with an annual $75 floss cost.

 

[lurch70]

there are a lot of them that do. I don't. there's nothing witty that I want my plate to read AND pay for it.

 

[einride]

you a big william hung fan?

 

[dorian gray]

absolutely ridonkelous

HAHAHAHA


unrelated: I saw this at Costco yesterday (does Costco sell Volvos now?) and thought it was really nice

 

[lurch70]

the S60 is indeed very sweet ... the upcoming V70R wagon even more so (Europe only)

My father-in-law's good friend is a MINI nutcase. He goes to all the conventions and owns a bunch of em. He drives around in an older one that is just absurdly small. A lot smaller than the newer ones I see on the road.

It's kinda fitting though because he is only about 5'4, maybe 130lbs soaking wet.

 

[einride]

i now run my car on 50% gasoline and 50% e85, work's grate

 

[lurch70]

so what did you end up doing?

 

[einride]

filled it up with 50% gasoline and 50% e85
