we’re going to race the boats
it needs to have a propeller powered by a battery motor and I don’t really know where to start
also, i lose points if the propeller is not home made
This has been bugging me for a while now. All I remember is a mini van like car driving on the highway and a bloody hand reaches up from the trunk (inside the car) and writes on the window “help” or “help me” or something like that. I got the impression that the person was tied up in the back or something. That’s all I remember…
I have a 1995 transport mini van the other day it started heating up….not over heating, it acts like its not getting enough gas and then quits. I am also getting a burnt antifreeze smell. My check engine soon light came on. What could be going on?
Our 2007 MCS is rattling now. Started on cold starts when it started getting below 50 outside. A couple weeks now, and finally getting around to reading up on it. Surprisingly we’ve been living under a rock the past year, and haven’t heard about the issue until now. Yesterday, started the car up from cold, and it was not only making the rattle, but also idling up and down like someone had pulled off a coilpack. It seems that this “tensioner issue” can go into an extreme issue if not taken seriously, and fixed. The car is undrivable, and the idle surging is there to stay. Warming up won’t fix this one… Our poor R56 is garage bound until the dealership calls us back with a quote and or solution. It will be towed into the dealership (60 miles away) and out of warranty work will be performed (51000 miles). Might Mini USA give us some good will? We don’t know. Hopefully Moritz Mini of Arlington TX will be kind to us. Dallas Mini would be pushing us a new engine purchase quote, so definitely not going there. Dallas Mini is horrible. Other item of note. Oil was checked and topped-up a week 1/2 ago. Checked oil after the surging started, and it was almost empty! A little over a week drained the engine! Added 3 quarts yesterday. Yes, I have read the “How to check the Mini stick for Dummies” book. This issue is related to loss of oil as some have suggested. Before anyone responds back with oil leaks, so far this R56 has none. Even if it does have a drip under normal engine …

This is video of a custom homemade mini chopper that my brother built. This film is taken just east of Walla Walla, WA. The bike was built from miscellaneous farm equipment parts including a: -5HP Briggs and Stratton Engine -350 Chevy Engine Oil Pan as a Mock Fuel Tank -A crescent wrench kick stand -Gleaner N6 Combine Concave as a Rear Fender -Spring Tooth as a Front Fender -Chain Links as Foot Pegs -Hay Rake Seat -Exhaust Flapper -… My brother likes to take old broken down engines and equipment and revive them. This custom homemade mini chopper he built from scratch. He has taken his custom homemade mini chopper on many rides and has really made people turn their heads when they see this custom homemade mini chopper coming down the street. He has also driven this custom homemade mini chopper to school and presented it in a local car show. He put a lot of time, energy, and careful calculations into the production of this custom homemade mini chopper. He did all the math for the sprocket size to ensure good high-end speed but enough torque to get around off the pavement.
