Once again, Yost, you have busted me up.

Back in the late sixties when I was in the Army over in Germany I used to own a 67 Mini S. The bad little dude was red with white top, Mini Lites, Dual Webers, headers and a roll cage. Entered more than a few rallies in Der Vaterland and had a general blast tearing up the Autobahn.

You have succeeded in bringing all that back.

Fortunately, my wife also wants a Mini S and it's looking good for the near future if the kids don't start begging for their own car for high school. In Europe, it's not uncommon to see trailered dirt bikes and kayaks behind over-torched econoboxes. A more sedate style is necessary at that point and the full drift corners have to wait for other outings.

To spin this all back to kayak content, I want to build a full monocoque, aero stripper, enclosed trailer for my boats when I go traveling. An organic egg with a gas strut top to safely transport my boats.

Yeah, Baby!
