THIS went on the mini a while back but I forgot to report. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Story is, it needed a new parcel shelf, so I found some scrap mdf, a drill, a dremel and some inspiration...<br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1959 The Beginning of Greatness</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Mini began its public life on the 26 August 1959. Its designer, Sir Alec Issigonis could not have even dreamed </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of the impact his little car would have on world culture, society and of course automobiles. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Mini was designed simply to be an affordable car which could seat four adults and still be small enough to travel in </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">safely. Originally powered by 850cc 34bhp engine, this was the Mini in its purest form, simple, clean and agile.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1960-1969 The Evolution</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although the Mini saw through six decades it is always the 1960s for which it will be remembered for. These ten years </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">saw the Mini go from a 'housewives shopping car' to the must have fashion accessory, via international stardom on the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">rally scene. It took John Cooper, twice F1 World Champion Constructor, to realize the full potential of the Minis sharp </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">handling and maneuverability. In 1961 the first Mini Cooper hit the streets, firstly with a 997cc engine producing a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">massive 55bhp, there followed a range of engines for the Cooper from the rare 970cc Cooper S to the ultimate evolution </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the 76bhp 1275cc S, the car which would form the basis for the Works Rally car. The Cooper S achieved superstar </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">status when the 91bhp Works spec cars won the Monte Carlo Rally outright for 4 years running from 1964-1967</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(although the Minis were disqualified from the 1966 rally for having faulty headlamps!) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that the Mini had proven </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">itself in front of a world audience, everybody wanted a Cooper, and indeed everybody who was anybody in the 60s had </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a Cooper, from The Beatles and Peter Sellers to Graham Hill and Enzo Ferrari! Of course they couldn't have any old </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cooper they had to be modified. Companies such as Radford and Wood & Pickett who made their name tailor making </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rolls Royce's and Bentleys now were turning their hands to Minis, with everything from electric windows and leather </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">seats, to wickerwork sides and hatch backs. Thus a trend was started which has been kept p to this day, meaning that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">it's near impossible to find a Mini which hasn't been modified in some way.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1970-1979 The Clubman, need we say more?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 1970s is often seen as the dark era of the Mini, various attempts were made to kill it off, starting with the end of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the Cooper in 1971 to the launch of the Metro. But still the Mini soldiered on, with just enough people buying it in order </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to keep it alive. The launch of the Mini Clubman in the late 60s gave the Mini a much modernized feel, and although </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the design is a case of love it or hate it, it added a bit of variety to a rather dull 70s Mini line up. The Clubman is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">differentiated by the hotdog grill with lights inside the "dog".</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1980-1989 The Question Years</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By the 1980s the Mini was starting to die, and in a desperate attempt by new owners, Rover to keep it's head above </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">water an alarming number of themed special editions were launched, over 40 different editions were produced between </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1980 and 2000. The most successful of which was the Anniversary editions, an idea which started with the 1100 </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Special back in 1979, produced to celebrate 20 years of Mini production. The 80s saw the Mini 25 and 30 birthday </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">editions, which were undoubtedly integral to the survival of the Mini for so long.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1990-2000 Rebirth, Death or Evolution? You Decide</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The re-launch of the Cooper in 1990 brought about a much needed revival of interest in the Mini, particularly in Japan.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 90's Cooper initially had a 63bhp 1275cc carb engine, then in 1991 had an injection version of the same engine.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perhaps the biggest change in the Mini came about in 1997 with the introduction of the twin-point injection engine with </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a front mounted radiator, this engine was introduced as standard in both the Mini and Cooper models along with safety</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">features such as airbag and side impact bars in the doors. Along with this modernization came the 'Sportspack' option </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">which included 13in alloy wheels, large wheel arches. The final Mini rolled off the production line on the 6th October 2000.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2001 And Beyond</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The launch of the New MINI produced by BMW in 2001 adds perhaps not a new chapter, rather a whole new book to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the Mini story. The new MINI currently comes in three models, the standard MINI One with a 1.6 liter 90bhp Chrysler </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">engine, the Cooper powered by a 115bhp version of the same engine and the Copper S adding a supercharger.

Crazy, we know. But they're out there. Now <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/mini">Mini</a> is trying to bridge the gap with a special pair of its own kicks.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

The shoes are made primarily out of canvas, with white soles and laces and Mini logos aplenty.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

And rallying has Monte Carlo. The thing is, the Monte Carlo rally hasn't been part of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/wrc">World Rally Championship</a> for several years now. But that's about to change.<br />
<br />
The legendary event – organized by the same Automobile Club de Monaco that puts on the Monaco Grand Prix and a number of vintage racing events – dates all the way back to 1911, and aside from notable breaks for a couple of world wars, has been held pretty much ever year since. From 1973 through 2008, it was an integral part of the World Rally Championship, but after that it went to the rival <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/irc">Intercontinental Rally Challenge</a>.<br />
<br />
A landmark announcement, however, reveals that the Monte Carlo Rally is returning next season to the WRC, but not at the expense of the IRC. Instead, the round will act as the season opener for both rally championships.<br />
<br />
The Italian Rally is also scheduled to return next season. An anticipated rally in Abu Dhabi, however, was excluded from the 2012 WRC calendar, which encompasses 13 rounds mostly in Europe. The Jordan Rally, which was so <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/14/wrc-jordan-rally-delayed-due-to-political-unrest-stormy-seas-an/">problematic</a> this season, was also excluded, with overseas rounds held only in New Zealand, Mexico and Argentina. However, unlike F1, whose schedule is also set by the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fia">FIA</a>, the Latin American rounds are not paired, but instead punctuated by a return to Europe for the rally in Portugal. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/07/monte-carlo-rally-returns-next-season-to-world-rally-championshi/#continued">Follow the jump</a> for the full schedule.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861885664228267464.post-78289878170380620882011-06-06T11:50:00.000-04:302011-06-06T11:50:07.103-04:30Bizzare Google Earth Pictures<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/134186/in_pictures_the_strangest_sights_in_google_earth.html">Auto Antics</a><br />
