Curious, are those Drag DR-31s? If so, keep an eye on the grey finish around the lugs...experience talking here is all.

Anyone had any experience adding the JCW areo kit to their CR Clubbie? I'm thinking of putting some on Deano but would like to see what they look like before doing so.

Also; anyone any idea on the price in Canada?

If your car is parked in the sun, just push the unlock button on the fob and hold it for a few seconds and the sunroof will open and the windows will roll down, letting the worst of the heat out.

I live in Washington State, where a front plate is required, but the law isn't enforced aggressively. I have a 1980 MGB that has never had a front plate on it. I got a warning from a state trooper about 15 years ago, but I didn't do anything about it.

I'll take my chances with no front plate on my MINI.

I just got back from a trip to the Sunshine Coast in BC so had some great backdrops for my new photos of Deano with his new JCW wheels.

The car looks SO much better in the front with the JCW front bumper. all other clubbies look naked without this kit now that I have it on mine.

So true, the JCW bumper makes a LOT of difference.

Hi all you Chilly Red drivers, I would like to see some photos of your white wheels. I'm looking to ditch the "S lites" for some new real light whites.
Got any suggestions?

Thanks for keeping this thread alive guys. Everything is good up here in the Canadian Rockies!

As I posted earlier, I was rear-ended earlier in the summer, but all is good now. The body shop did a great job, but I was still surprised what the damage amounted to (cost wise) for a pretty light tap.

Our local Mini Club still hosts events every month. I've been taking pictures but have been lazy about posting them. Will have to find the time to share with you all soon...

Hope you are all well!

My Chili Red Clubman, thumbnails and ipod USB port issue

Luv-My_JCW: Hi there. I had been having troubles with attaching photos also. I have an iPhone 3 and every time I e-mailed the photo, it simply appeared in the text of the e-mail, not as a separate jpeg file. I recently discovered that I have the option to change the size of the photo that I'm sending. I selected the smallest size, and suddenly I noticed that the photos were being sent as separate jpeg files. Yay! You can save jpeg files to your computer desktop, then you can upload them into your gallery on this site, or add them to part of your signature.

As for the USB port, sometimes I've had problems getting my ipod to be recognized. I usually pop out the cable and replace it, and then the problem seems to go away.

Good luck!
