[Fot] Mini Diesel...

[Gasket Works USA]

See below... as many of you know. Gale Banks Engineering has been 
involved in Diesel tunning for years.

He has many projects on the table and in his shop floor.   One of the 
really important projects is the Cummins powered Navy Seal small op 
boat.  The Navy wanted it to be a bit faster... He has several of these 
6 cyl diesels on the floor with very trick go-fast parts..


Anyways he is on all sorts of expert committees and recently he sent me 
this email..   Banks seems to like this Mini  maybe we'll even get a 
chance to get it here in the states.  Just fyi...

Here’s something interesting; A few weeks ago I represented Bosch as 
their spokesman at the Detroit Gran Prix. One of the cars we 
demonstrated to the press as the Mini Cooper Euro-Spec Diesel. This one 
had a 6 speed stick shift and I hot lapped the Belle Isle course in it. 
What a kick!



You would love this car as it goes darn near as good as the gasoline 
burner but makes, get this, 67 mpg highway. That’s 67% better than the 
gasoline version. And, a huge reduction in greenhouse gasses, wow…just, 
wow. The attachment above tells the whole story.



Now if I can just get BMW and Bosch together to meet our emissions 
requirements…I’m working on it and they are so close. This thing would 
sell here, and I want one, how about you?





As always,



Gale Banks
