470CapstickA2A sad sad tragedy.....for those who know me
My monster hunting vehicle has succumbed to Houston flooding. I know this is probably out of place here.... but all the guys I know, and all the ones who wanted to drive my mini browse through here...
now with 2 feet of water... all the important stuff got soaked.. engine, tranny, diff, computer... so tragic....

Hog KillerAl,
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.

Gringo CazadorHate 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

470CapstickA2Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh..... that's just harsh...
Actually they are working on the water lines and drains by my house, and we got some heavy rain that rose really quick.... The work trucks block my driveway, so I parked out on the street..... oh well...

Tucker65Hey it didn't hurt the hitch cover I made for you did it?
Hardly got enough to wet the streets on the SW side!
I hear you can get a good deal on a Hummer now?

No Minis here in Alaska.I guess they would be good to fit under a mooses belly before you hit them.Sorry to hear about flooding.We have already started our fire season here.

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!

CBNHNTRSorry to hear about your Mini.
This has been typical Houston weather, no rain for four and a half months and now it tries to catch up in three days

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.
Neat cars.
