My girlfriend was approached by a guy in traffic the other day, who turned out to be a professional photographer. I guess at first she thought he was just another person that really liked the car, but he gave her his card and wanted to takes some pics of the car, so I called him up today and we should be taking some pics tomorrow if the weather holds up. He said he had a new mini, so I might be getting some pics of the two together or something. Its still just too crazy the amount of attention the mini gets....the rx7 never gets offers for a photo shoot. :bigok:

Thats because a lot of men who are into photography/modeling are gay, and the RX7 is a little too masculine for the average gay man. The mini, however, can be cool to anyone I suppose.



My buddies used to model a lot, and I had a girlfriend who modeled too. One thing they both commented on was the number of openly gay men in the business. They used to get offers all the time to nude modeling for good money. One of them did once. He turned up in a Gay/Bi/Curious advertisement in the back of Hustler Magazine. He also reportedly was on some websites trying to attract people to gay porn sites, also in some gay magazines. I heard all this collectively from many different people, but I saw the picture of him in Hustler myself. It was him.



All I'm saying is, watch your ass. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

that what he doesnt want people doing

Yeah, once they take the picture its theres to do what they please with. If they want to sell it they can...

I knew a couple people in the modeling industry, and i was pretty close to everything. I did photography for awhile doing mainly human portraits. Any my buddy just got apporoached the other day at work from a lady who runs a scouting business. He goes in for a practise shoot next week. But point being, ... i dont know.. :monkydance:

That entire post just makes me worry.

Hmmm, well damn. I'll make sure I wear one of my long shirts to cover my ass and any bulges up front.

:stickpoke:

Hoepfully he doesn't give you a bulge up front... Heh heh... If he does, then maybe there's no problem :smirk:

Ok, well the guy wasn't gay. He was actually very cool and we got some good pics of my orginal mini and his new mini beside each other. Hopefully i'll have some pics to post sometime today. He had me drive his mini which was supercharged and I got to say the thing was pretty fast.

sweet, you better post some pics, cause I wanna see https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Here are a few pics he took with a digital camera he had, the other pics were on his good camera's. These pics aren't that great, but look how much bigger the new mini is than mine.

i couldnt even fit in that thing

Its actually pretty roomy believe it or not. My cousin flew to Florida with me when I picked it up and rode back with me, he's 6' and weights about 325lbs and fit comforatable. Theres more room for him in the mini than the rx7.

Who is the IDIOT in the brown jacket? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

dude, your mini needs a 13BT !

The luckiest mofo you've ever seen :bigok:



A rotary would be cool, they talk about it all the time on the mini forum. Most of those guys do a v-tech swap but its a lot of work to make it perfect. I'm happy with what its got, besides i've got my rx7 to get my speed thrill in. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

But a mini which is light as all hell (i think) would rocket with a good hp rotary. Arent they like under 100 hp stock? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

My mini weighs 1250lbs and came stock with 65hp, which sounds funny buts its a very peppy car. I've added headers, replacement air filter, and did the throttle butterfly mod (stock the butterfly only opens up about 75%) which is suppose to bump it up to 75hp. Its faster than stock civics and crx's so its good enough for me.

Yeah. In GT3 i went all out on a mini and it had like 230hp or something and just flew.
