New CROC on the bloc!
(Have been lurking in various threads already talking about my new chilli red, but this is the formal introduction)
Introducing.....(pardon my French)..... La Petite Rouge.... Roxane:
She is a 09 MCSC with Sports and Cold-weather Packages. Also has Multi-function steering wheel, Sports Suspension, Bluetooth/iPod, Auto AC, Chrome and Piano Black interior trim.
(will put up some pictures of the interior later)
Picked her up last Saturday. Had to be away for four days due to a business trip (the pangs of separation!), but now I am happily back behind the wheels and having a blast!
Now, I need advice on the following:
1. Even though the car has Sports package, she did not come with the bonnet stripes. My wife says she (the car, not her) does not need it, and she (the car again) looks sporty enough. I am kinda' undecided. Any opinions ?
2. Where I live currently in San Diego, I have to park outside and we have been getting a lot of dust swirling over from the canyons. It leaves a layer of dust/sand on the car. Suggestions for any gentle way of removing the dust ?

Very nice...as for the dust on the roof, I use air compressor/canned air, natural hair brush & lint roller...Blow...Brush...Lift.
Maybe someone else can chime in on what they use.
I would advise against using high pressure hoses. They push the dirt deeper into the fabric.

See if you can find some Black Stripes with a Silver Edge, or Silver Stripes with a Black Edge. I think your Black Top and Wheels being Black and Silver might L@@K reall nice with this combination. I would err on no stripes, but that's just MO. Just thought I'd give an opinion on asthetics.
She is a Beaut...with/without stripes!! You and your wife choose, that's what makes YOUR MINI (U-ified)!! Flip a Coin??

Separated at birth
Race to St Louis won't be fair - we have more mountains to get through .
But seriously..... it would be fun if something like that was organized sometime in the future.
