Cooper Stripes

I talk with Mike Kearney about racing,  and the humble Mini. 

Doug gave a talk at Mini Meet West about his career and winning multiple SCCA national championships in a Mini.  These efforts,  and the giant killer that is the Mini should not be forgotten.  Enjoy.

Tribute to Derek K. Miller,  aka @panmachine at http://www.penmachine.com/

Thank you Derek for showing me how to use GarageBand with which I make this podcast,  and for helping me to take better photos,  and for talking with me,  I guess all drummers share a kindred spirit.

Mini's and Beatles........ nothing cooler than that.

My audio indulgence,  continued talks with Jack T about vintage racing,  and his 67 Lancia Fulvia Zegato Sport.  Some 63 Vette sounds,  mostly the audio stuff that didn't fit anywhere else,  It's almost winter,  get out and wax your stripes!

I talk with Jack Thornton about his 67 Lancia Fulvia sport Zegato.  Not a Mini,  but still a race car for us poor folks.

Engine stability,  and installing gearbox dumbell stabilizer.   Also Jack Thornton teaser.  

1. My cracked engine stabilizer, and why regular checkups are important. 2. How one little thing effects so much more. 3. Mini Spares deals. 4. My dad’s mini update. 5. Next year’s events. I’m hoping this sort of acts as show notes, it’s just an experiment. Back to the road…

More Mini adventure, my question for Sandy Ganz, and Adam Carolla Do I install high lift roller rockers?

Tribute to to the 50th Anniversary of the Mini at Fort Rodd Hill in BC Canada.  The Old English Car Club of Victoria BC hold their English Car Affair in the park.  Now my favorite show of the year.

Mini sounds, Hurricane ridge rant, and a 63 vette reborn (next podcast)

Jim and I finally travel around central California to our Mini events all the while jealous of the world famous white roof radio guys, and sporting our www.motoringfile.com badges.

Jim learns how to work the H2 recorder and records my drunken snore.  At least I didn't wake up with that shaving cream on my head like back in high school on our band trips.

Second posting of the file I should have posted first.  (don't ask) much better than the previous posting of 4 eagles above me.
