Mini

Question: What's small, nimble, a little bigger than a go kart, loved the world over, and can run on motors borrowed from two wheel vehicles as well as four wheel vehicles? Classic Mini's of course! I don't post a whole lot of Mini's around here so a Mini Theme Tuesday has been long over due. However, before I get to posting more of the current generation I've got to give a head nod to the ones that started it all.

One 'drawback' to compiling the Classy Car Model Theme Tuesdays is that I often end up coming across lots of photos of women with cars that are the standard fare, you know, the scantily clad woman with a nice car type of photo. All of the photos in today's post were chosen because of the car in the photo, the woman in the photo, or the photography, I'll leave it to you guys to speculate in the comments what was the determining factor in each. Sorry in advance ladies, also this one may be NSFW.

One of my favorite parts of the original Transformers series was when Jazz, or Optimus, would assemble a group of Autobots to go on a mission, more specifically when Optimus would yell 'Roll out!' before they would drive off into the sunset ready to whoop up some Decipticons. What does this have to do with today's Theme Tuesday? Nothing really I just felt like sharing, enjoy this second edition of rolling shots for this Tuesday.

After last weeks Theme Tuesday on muscle cars I was in the mood to check some out in person once again so I made my way out to the local Street Classics cruise in on Saturday Night. Unfortunately soon after I arrived it started to rail lightly which put a quick end to things, but, I was able to fire off some shots and get something for WTF Friday. I also meet a real down to earth s-10 owner in the process, good times.

Take a small car (preferably)rear wheel drive car, strip out basically everything, add a roll cage and a fire extinguisher (do not add giant roof wing), and proceed to only turn one direction on a natural race track surface and what do you have? Well, apparently, you have Britain's most popular form of grass roots motor sport, Autograss. I just found out about Autograss last week and with tons of classes for every level of racer (both financial level and skill wise) Autograss looks like a great way to have a lot of relativity cheap fun. I want in!

I really can't remember where or when I came across this car, maybe on one of the several message boards and blog I check out daily. Regardless of where I found it, it obviously had a good reason to be there as it's pretty damn appealing. The raked stance, wide track, copious amounts of tire, flares, and lack of non essentially accessories leads me to believe that this Mini functions just as well as it looks.

Here is part two of the Performance World coverage, I had meant to post this yesterday but the great weather (18 degrees!) meant that I worked on my car after work as oppose to hiding from the cold. Today's coverage is mostly of the import rooms of the show which were really hard to shoot being absurdly dark and cramped for some reason, anyway, here we go.

This has actually been on the about page for awhile but I figured that I should make an 'official' announcement since as of yesterday he is now an official student of photography. I 'd like to welcome My friend Keven aka K.Sold aboard as a contributing photographer to Stance Is Everything.

I'm not really sure where I came across this Mini but I'm glad I did. This Mini is wears a set of CCW rims and wears them quite well. CCW rims have to be one of the more popular wheel choices of 2009, I've seen them on almost everything.

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that suit the vehicles intent). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: Painted Wheels

Went out with the Stance Is Everything staff photographers, aka my friend Keven and my girlfriend, and we tried some rolling shots for the first time. We were inspired by this video so we set out and find a remote area of the suburbs of Mississauga and got down to work. I wish we had a fourth person because a picture of how we were doing it would have been pretty amusing. Let's just say that it was good we had a KIA soul on hand as one of the camera cars.
