Editorial Review: Product Description: Motoring-Getting the Maximum from Your New MINI is written for the new MINI owner who has just discovered how much fun driving can be in this great little car and now wants more. Written by two specialists in racing and car preparation, this book answers all the questions of any new MINI owner: What motoring activities are out there? What parts should be upgraded when, and why? What driving techniques should be used to drive the MINI at its maximum? The book is written for every level of interest, knowledge and experience. Divided into four sections, it covers buying your new MINI, street and highway driving, autocross and occasional track events and full-bore competition. From this book you'll learn about all the activities that MINI owners can take part in, including club touring, advanced driving classes, club track days, autocrossing, and track racing. In each section, you'll understand what aspects of the car to upgrade and why, what parts to buy and in what order, and how to drive your MINI better on the road, the autocross course, and the track. Color photographs and clear diagrams highlight the text throughout. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Comprehensive guide to the basics of MINI motoringA well thought out and logical sequence from choosing your MINI thru to track day racing.

Glossy like a magazine with lots of subtle advertising. Lots of discussion of aftermarket parts and their cost and where to find them. If you are looking for guidance in upgrading the engine, drive train, brakes, suspension, tiires and wheels then this is probably for you. Rating:  - These Guys Know Minis!So let's say you've decided that sitting on the sidelines and watching others at play is no longer enough. You want to try your hand at competition driving with your New Mini, but don't really know how to get started. That's where Gary Anderson's "Motoring" book comes in. First of all, Gary was the editor of "British Car" magazine and is a pretty fair vintage racing driver. In this book, he teams up with Don Racine, owner of Mini Mania, the premier shop for all things Mini (old and new,) and a longtime ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
