Trying! I got a medtronic pain pump to help with the pain. Its like I've got NOS inside my gut!




apologies for having to show my gut!

Even came with a remote to dose myself.


Too bad it doesnt relieve all the pain. I still have 2-3 bad days a week where I can't leave the house. Gonna have this thing for life so I'm just trying to get it adjusted.

Wish it would improve my laptimes

I am overly jealous. I would love to have you stable of cars, let alone a daily driver like that. It looks to be a ton of fun. I am glad to see it completed.

Good luck with your health! I have major back problems and do not wish that pain on anyone. I could not imagine having a pain pump and still having pain. You are a real trooper!

Been daily driving it. First second and third are useless. I even got the front to start lighting them up in 4th the other day on the freeway. Mpg is around 38mpg. Overall impressions is that its unruly, raw power, lots of torque steer, very difficult to get used to driving sequential, and a bit hard to start on a steep incline.

Played with a 997 porsche the other day and he was surprised to say the least.

So far so good. Its a long learning process to find what works and what doesn't. Thanks!

Pain is hell. Thanks for the kind words. Luckily any time I go somewhere I have fun doing so. The mini is a real crowd pleaser anywhere it goes. People come out of businesses
