MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI !!!!!!!!!!!!

A Mini is a 1959 to Mid 90's (or 1967 in the US) Small British car. It was the first car to use a transfers mounted engine and transmission that is extremely common today. Total length is only 10 feet and about 1300lbs. Todays Mini is 2-1/2ft longer! Its a much larger car and you just don't see that till you see an old and new one together.

If you didn't see my Mini in the cars, here it is. It's a 1960 Morris Mini Mk1 (Cooperised 998).

Just showing how ridiculously huge SUV's really are.

UP ON 2 WHEELS !!!!!!!

Fly - be free!

Here's a couple real short Minis - as if they weren't already!

Even shorter! Crammed is an understatement.Now this is weird.

A Mini Moke Military vehicle. Notice the sidecar!

Here's a Mini cut in half. Lot more room inside than you'd expect. 80% is interior.

Whats the lowest Mini? Only 30 inches tall.

And another super low Mini

alpine mini

sometimes, when you're in the right place at the right time, incredible things can happen to you. Of course, it doesn't hurt to know the right people.

Such a confluence of circumstances occurred at Spring Break Nationals. Our photographer and I were standing, talking to Steve Brown, co-designer of Alpine's show-stopping MINI Cooper, when one of Alpine's representatives thundered these fateful words:

"Hey, let the writer sit in it!"

Steve smiled and said, "sure." I, meanwhile, tried to check my ears, since I'd obviously misheard him.

The Alpine MINI epitomizes the phrase "look, but don't touch." Almost no one gets to sit in it. But now, I (as well as our photographer) were about to be given the chance.

Getting in took some brief coaching. The seat is on a motorized platform that extends nearly five feet behind the car. I had to sit down on it sideways and swivel, swinging my legs over the car's side. And believe me, I'm not the most limber guy in the world. But I pulled it off.

The car's subs are housed just behind the seat, so the first thing I noticed was the delightful bass massage I was getting. Once I was settled, however, the real fun started.

Now, the seat is operated by remote control. I'd seen it in action plenty of times; co-designer Mike Vu pressed a button, and the seat smoothly slid forward into place, sealing the back end. I expected it. But once Mike hit the button, it still caught me by surprise. It's like being on an amusement park ride (a slow one, mind you, but a ride nonetheless). I could even hear the bass tighten and get louder as the seat got progressively closer to its closed position.

Once the ride ended, I was nestled snugly in the cockpit. Very snugly. The cockpit is cozy, to say the least. The control center came up over my lap, the steering yoke only about six inches from my chest. I was certainly not getting out until they let me out.

But once I was in, I didn't want to get out. Suddenly I was eight years old again, playing in the cardboard box spaceship I'd spent hours building. But I never had a cardboard box this cool.

The steering yoke sat right in front of me, while glowing gauges sat above that in sleek housings that stretched out to the "dash" in front. Six monitors surrounded me, three on each side, as did six speakers (including a set of components). To the right, above the yoke was the gear shift; to the left were the Alpine in-dash receiver and separate DVD player. In the center of the yoke had been installed a digital gauge.

I felt like I'd been beamed into the future, and was sitting in a single-passenger ship ready to take flight. Actually, the the bass at my back and the surreal paint job combined to make me feel as though I were floating.

When it all hit home, though, was when I looked around to see the looks on the faces that were watching me enviously. Clearly I was doing something few have ever been allowed to do. With apologies to Lou Gehrig, I knew that at that moment, I was the luckiest man on earth. The whole experience was nothing short of amazing.

lowrider

A lowrider is a car or truck which has had its suspension system modified (sometimes with hydraulic suspension) so that it rides as low to the ground as possible. Lowriders often have user controlled height adjustable suspension. Lowriders are very often classic cars from the 1950s which rode low to begin with, although large numbers of 1940s and 1960s cars are also modified, and to a lesser degree newer vehicles. The word is also used to refer to those who drive or own such cars. A lowrider will traditionally have many factory offered accessories / options and often many after-market accessories added. As a result of the modifications, many lowriders are not street-legal vehicles.

Description of the subculture

Lowriders were originally unique to the Mexican-American or Chicano culture of Los Angeles County. Lowriders and "lowriding" then became part of Californian and south-western American urban culture as a whole.^[2] The aim of the lowriders is to cruise as slowly as possible, "Low and Slow" ("Bajito y Suavecito") being their motto. Since the early 1990s, lowriders have become common in urban youth culture in general, primarily in West Coast hip hop. Today, the lowriding scene is diverse with many different cultures, vehicle makes and visual styles, however, it remains an important part of the Chicano community. One of the most popular places for lowriders has always been Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles. Essentially all the options available to today's custom automobile creator are also available to the lowrider builder, and lowrider style varies greatly from region to region.

Summer is the most popular season for lowriders, as the weather often encourages being outside either in or nearby the vehicle. Some lowrider clubs have weekly gatherings in the summer where owners of lowriders and friends will have a barbecue followed by cruising a popular drag (or strip) after dark. Aside from local drags and their parking lots, lowriders are most commonly seen at privately organized lowrider car shows that often feature a variety of different vehicular and non-vehicular events, the most popular of which are the wet T-shirt/bikini contests and the hop and dance hydraulic competitions where competitors compete against each other to see who can hop the highest or complete a list of moves within a time limit (dancing). There are several magazines devoted to presenting, preserving, and chronicling lowrider culture,

Description of vehicles

1964 Chevrolet Impala

The 1964 Chevy Impala hardtop or convertible is one of the most popular lowriders, and to a lesser extent other 1958-1964 Impalas. Although the 1961–64 Chevrolet Impala is usually sought after by car collectors, vehicles including the 1978–88 GM G-bodies (which includes the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and Pontiac Grand Prix) and their 1973–77 relatives are usually seen as entry-level lowriders. Although heavy customization of the cars is popular in the lowrider scene, some lowriders pass for restored stock cars, especially those based on 1930s–1960s American cars. In some countries, other cars like the Volvo PV544, Morris Minor, air-cooled VW Beetle, Ford Zodiac, Vauxhall Victor and Vauxhall Cresta (and other cars with Trans-Atlantic styling) are often used as substitutes for American cars. This is generally due to the lack of American car imports, costs or even a desire to build a unique lowrider out of a domestically produced vehicle.

Exterior

Lowrider exteriors range from conservative enough to pass for a restored stocker to outright campy. The more conservative often feature period acessories such as sun visors, fender skirts, bug deflectors and swamp coolers, along with factory options available at the time. Interiors will often appear as if they came from the factory, with sound systems being hidden so as not to spoil to original look of the car.

The more outrageous exteriors typically feature expensive custom paintjobs that consist of several thin layers of different colors, metal oxide flake or pearl flake, clear coat, metal leaf, airbrushed murals or script, pinstripes, flames or any other hand-painted graphics, or any combination of the above. Lowriders traditionally feature small gold or chrome spoke wheels (able to tuck beneath the wheel well and allow the lowest ride height, but which can look out of proportion when the car is raised to stock ride height), with or without knockoffs and whitewall tires (though steels and period or factory hubcaps were also common on cars bult up until 1959). Other Traditional Lowrider wheels are Astro Supremes, Cragers, Tru spokes, Crowns, Daytons and Zeniths all with 5.20 tires ; which were used during the 1970s and early 1980s . Other common custom exterior enhancements are; rear wheel skirts, extensive use of chrome or gold, antennas or fins and continental tire kits (a full matching spare tire on display in a rear bumper case). The most detailed vehicles have engine, exhaust and performance modifications and/or beautifications.

Paint, neon or LED lights, chrome or gold accents, cosmetic mirrors, after market steering wheels (of which a chain-link steering wheel is iconic), fuzzy dice that hang from the rear-view mirror or head rests and swivel seats that allow for easier and more stylish entry and exit.

Another common modification are the car doors, such as suicide doors (doors which open in the opposite direction to a standard car door), scissor doors (doors opening vertically) and gull-wing doors (doors opening towards the roof, swinging up), which are less common than many of the other door configurations.

Many low riders now feature any combination of mobile electronic audio and video devices, most stereotypically a loud audio system that features a powerful amp and large subwoofers (commonly referred to as "subs" and "woofers") and primarily focuses on producing heavily-exaggerated bass. Miniature TV screens embedded into the headrests of the seats are popular, and accompanying devices include DVD players and, more recently, video game consoles outfitted with wireless controllers.

Hydraulics

Many lowriders feature custom hydraulic suspensions that allow the driver to alter the ride height at will. These systems range from simple to complex and are usually measured by the number of hydraulic pumps (generally 2 to 4) used to control the various hydraulic combinations that ultimately produce a specific motion from the vehicle. These pumps are powered by multiple batteries installed in a rack in the trunk of the vehicle. The speed at which the car lifts depends partly on the voltage generated by these batteries, which can range from 24 all the way up to 124 volts. The most common motions are dipping/raising the four corners of the vehicle (referred to as corners), dipping/raising the front or rear of the vehicle (front, back), dipping/raising the sides of the vehicles (side to side), and lowering/raising the vehicle as a whole (pancake). A skilled switch operator can manipulate his controls (hitting switches) to raise one wheel completely off the ground (3-wheel motion), or to hop one end of the car completely off the ground.

mattracks

MATTRACKS History MATTRACKS is the result of the imagination of our founder's 11 year old son. After drawing a picture of a large truck with tracks instead of tires he asked his dad, "Could we make something like this?" After several years of engineering and prototypes, Mr. Brazier gained a patent and MATTRACKS were released for sale to the public in 1994. MATTRACKS have been sold worldwide, on every continent. The MATTRACKS rubber track conversion system has evolved from the original production model to a product line that can provide a dependable track conversion system to fit many different applications. Over the past years MATTRACKS have gained popularity in many industries, proving themselves time and time again as a cost effective solution for mobility over some of the worlds most extreme terrain.
