I am on the fence about clear bra due to some new appliances we need replaced in the house. You know what they say, happy wife=happy life. lol

After break-in period is done, I also have plans for Helix FMIC, NM SSK with cover, Koni yellows paired with NM alpha springs and Hsport camber links. While I have all that apart, I am adding the Hsport Comp rear sway bar also.

When that is done, then I will get the JB+. Haven't decided whether to get the scan gauge vs the CAN tool. I need to do more research.

I will probably change the interior lights to LED as well at some point. And finally, when I have more money to spend, there's also the GP diffuser.

Looking back at my post, it really is such a slippery slope, isn't it? lol

Bump! Keeping the thread alive. b00sted09 just bought a beautiful PW Clubman, per the 2014 Support Group Thread. Of course, I encouraged him to register his magnificent machine with our Peerage.

Come on Kilmer - are you sure it wasn't planned? The diffuser will look awesome on your car. I know it's on my list along with the belly pan. Just trying to figure out how to break it to my husband. Any suggestions folks?

Sometimes, it is better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. lol

How's everyone doing lately?? Holidays are approaching us, therefore more shoddy drivers on the roads around us.

I'm looking forward to the holidays. This is our last winter in Northern Virginia, thank God. We're moving to Belleair, Florida next summer (5 minute drive to the Gulf beach) so I can become a total beach bum. Seriously. I'm hoping my Roadster makes it through the winter okay - snow plowing in the Washington, DC metro area is abysmal.

I'm happy to say we'll be one of the many driving to Thanksgiving dinner next week. Okay - it's only to the next town . . . but we're going to take the long way there!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving, linak! I envy you the holiday drive even if it's only a short distance. After our wonderful Thanksgiving Day feast, I'm looking forward to Ohio State vs. Michigan and Alabama vs. Auburn next Saturday.

That's awesome about next summer! ! Your Roadster should be ok. I'm sure there will be many drivers who will be "clearing" the DC streets for you. (If there's snow, I'm actually pretty afraid of driving in it although I have new tires. When we had snowpacalypse a couple winters ago, I had seen so many people lose control of their vehicles because they were going too fast. People negated the build up of ice under the thin layer of plowed snow.)

Are you and the family moving to Florida for retirement? The whole beach bum idea sounds pretty nice right now. Winter sucks.

Speaking of moving, the wife keeps asking me to consider moving from central California to Whitefall, Montana to be closer to her family. lol While I don't mind the snow at all--I love to ski actually. But I only just got my hardtop and not sure how well it will do with the amount of snow they get up in MT.

Hey guys, as winter is approaching, my commute to school may have some salt and grit on the road. In order to protect my wheels, I was thinking of plastidipping them for the moment. Just unsure about the color, I'm not really a fan of black wheels.

What do you guys think of white?

TDave - only one winter for the Roadster - not bad. You'll have to take a pic of it in the snow for posterity and then say good-bye to cold weather!

Kilmer - speaking of winter - I say if the MINIs can do so well in Sweden, Austria and everywhere else in Europe - they can handle the snow in Montana! And think about how much fun it'll be sliding down the mountains in a MINI!

And Minted-Rose - I'd love to be fashionably late but, darn, we're bringing the appetizers . . . and dessert. Maybe we can sneak out during the main course to put a few miles on! (just kidding - in case anyone in our family is reading)

Vittorio - I'm not sure . . . would the white wheels contrast too much with the pepper white? How about a gun metal grey (I may be a bit biased towards this color as I'd like that for my winter shoes . . . if I ever get them)?
