In the meantime, as to not bore you guys too, I installed new "angle eyes" marker lamps and got my new legit Michigan plate...enjoy...



Man you have the sharpest Mini in the USA . I would actually read a book, if you wrote one, on how you did all the mods. Seriously people would buy this book, including me .

Hmmmmm.....since your car is something we all aspire to & have saved as the desktop for our computers, I'd say it's something that's very rare, hardly seen, a part we're all going to lust after & a few will leave their significant others for. Launch tube for roof-mounted Tomahawk cruise missile? I dunno....tell us, inquiring minds want to know.
My wife says I need to stop looking at pictures of your car since you're running up our Visa bills. I opened an account in my own name which only receives online statements. That'll teach her to cut me off from MSFITOY!
