Re: 5speed mini 'boxes and Princess Stephanies' thighs

[mason@ftp.com (Nark Mason)]

    I talked to Mini Mania, they said the 5 speed Mini gearbox is a
derivative of the stock gearbox but was made by someone else, they didn't
mention who. It requires the use of the late style CV joints and a rod
change mechanism, that would add around $400 to the price.
    They couldn't tell me what the ratios were but they said they'd guess
20% overdrive.
    They already have orders for a half a dozen and do expect to really
have them before the summer.

    I'll leave discussion of Princess Stephanies thighs off this list.
