News: Recent (and older) events have included: Pictures from the Victor Car Show 2003 (officially Sports Car and Vintage Auto Festival 2003) Watkins Glen Glen Zippo GP 2002 (observer, not participant) MG Car Club Autocrosses (Twice a winner in the Mini class. Once with competition!), Two more in 2003. Some pictures from the 2002 Watkins Glen event: here The Mini at Watkins Glen, from the early fall 2002 trip. Check the "List of features Minis Don't Have." (and don't need.) Current state (September 9, 2003): Summer's ending, and the biggest Mini news is the passing of the NY State Inspection. Doesn't say much for summer. The latest subproject has been making a "glove box" for the Mini. Here's a picture of it placed inside the car - I'm not sure about putting it here, or in the boot. Click here to see the old autocross movie (1.7MB) or here for a higher frame rate version (3.4MB). Both require Quicktime. If you need the Quicktime plugin, check here. Background: These pages document the revival project of a 1962 Austin Mini Cooper. Pictures and commentary describe the steps and learning processes involved in bringing a 40 year old car back to life, and, in a sense, celebrating the history of one of the most popular cars ever built.
