Al,  sorry to here about your Mini. File your insurance claim, and get another one.  May be you need a lift kit on the next one.  Put the same tires and wheels as on your 1 ton Dodge. That should keep it dry.  Hog Killer IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

Hate that your little mini drown, it must have rained a lot more on the north end of town, spent the weekend in Pearland with my Girlfriend, we didnt get that much. Jeffe and I wanted to see if we could fit in your mini, but we were afraid we couldnt get out. Hope your insurance pays. Thanks, Billy Billy, High in the shoulder (we band of bubbas) | |||

Heck, Keith, besides the lift kit, he could then simply park the Mini in the bed of the Dodge, that should do it, even in Houston! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Sorry about your loss! Not quite true about no mini's in AK, Definately a few around Anchorage, and someone from Kodiak was ferrying one over a few years back when we visited.
