This is a 1969 Morris Mini-Cooper S modified by Downton in Europe. It’s a MK II with sliding windows, external door hinges, and the bigger MK II tail lights. For such a small vehicle, there is loads of room inside the car, as the tranverse mounted twin carbureted 4 cylinder takes up less room because it’s sideways. The designers of the car wanted as much room in a small space as was possible, and they achieved that very well in the Mini-Cooper. This one gets about 35 mpg when you’re light on …
At Daikoku-futo in Yokohama, Japan with my fishing-lover friend. After poring rain, we restarted to fish with three fishing rods. The worm Aoiso worked more than 100%! This small Aoiso attracted over 60cm long Suzuki We used Tamo/net to liftt the Suzuki up other wise the fising line would`ve had been cut out. Th gud Tamo was w/h us.

Carlos Ghosn, CEO and President of Renault and Nissan, talks about the Nissan Leaf electric car at its unveiling in Yokohama, Japan, on August 1, 2009.
energy consumption was achieved by applying the compound technology used in DNA dB super E spec tires–the flagship tire in its Eco DNA tire series- just released in July of last year. Tire rolling resistance was reduced by increasing the percentage of natural rubber, which is characterized by limited heat generation. Yokohama engineers succeeded in improving the tire grip force by introducing an orange oil mixture which is known to enhance the elasticity of the rubber. Yokohama Rubber …

The weather broke today and yesterday, so I took the car out for a spin…I was scared of people running over me in my 1000lb 43 inch tall go-kart with their big SUVs and truck around here, but everyone stays away - braking way early at stop lights behind me, must be the way it puts the power down so angrily in 1st or 2nd - they don’t want to be close to me if I careen into a ditch - massive wheelspin - I must be all over the road! Check out www.pro-motive.co.uk for details on the conversion. My car is based on a (sacriledge!) conversion of a 1960 Mk1 Austin Se7en. A small little bit of wiring to be worked out and she’s ready for trackdays at Waterford in the Spring!
