Hey Guys, Been almost a month since I heard from, or about you. Hope your all well and doing good.

Happy Motoring,

Larry

 

not that I post much, but I have been trying to find some light weight rims (15-17 lbs). I had pretty much decided to get the enkei rpf1's, then found out they wont work with the 15mm spacers I have. Also look at getting some 8000k HID's to replace the stock ones. It looks like they are D1S', but the the pictures I am seeing for those bulbs look really weird, I want to pull the front light out to verify. Other than those items, not doing too much.

 

Just got my little guy back from Mini Yaletown after getting my sills/flares/whatever they're called painted. Very happy with the result; now I just need to think what's next

 

Very nice! Do you have any 3/4 shots from the rear? Basically like your first shot except from behind.

 

guys, what are your thoughts on bronze rims & with a smaller chrome lip? I was really looking at black rims, but this could be a really good deal. I just think the bronze rims will bring too many colors (with the car already being red & black)...

 

This is the closest one I could to 3/4.

 

Adgeman, Car Looks GREAT

Dead Ringer, I agree, bronze might add a little too much color, thats pretty much why I kept everything on mine Black and red, once again, it all comes down to is "What do you like?" Its all up tp you

Great to hear for you guys,

Larry

 

Love the white roof adgeman - a nice, classic look.

 

went the safe route and ordered up a set of konig feather's, should be here in a week or so.

 

Dead Ringer,

Still waiting for you to post some photos in your gallary.

Hope all is good,

Larry

 

hehe, I bought a nice camera for christmas and I am taking classes on how to use it (I still dont know how to get those "focused" shots, where the car looks good, but everything else is out of focus). Once I get the rims on I will post up some pic's..

 

Sounds good, I am still at that point where I have others shoot, then post the pictures. I know I will have to learn soon.

Take good care,

Larry

 

Adgeman your car looks great,i have also painted the same trim and am pleased with the results,I also removed the badges from the barn doors,and exchanged the third light to match my roof Look at my gallery for better pictures then my sig.Q

 

First shot with self-installed bonnet stripes.

 

bestill my beating heart, every time i see those roof rails i'm sad i have an '08...

 

I had to pull the MINI branded cross-bars and Thule Big Mouth bike rack to run it through the car wash. The cross-bars have come in very handy with trips to Target.

 

Stripes look great, with the rest of your blk trim.Q

 

I like those roof racks too. I have been looking for something for mine. No Luck

 

Can I become a member? Just arrived on Monday:

















cheers,

Hey Guys, Just got back from a 3200 mile trip up the east coast and back. My youngest brother lives in North West CT, and I love the roads there. I stayed up in Great Barrington, a quick 30 min trip to my brother in Lakeville CT. Now I am back hole in South Florida, where the highest point is the local landfill.

I hope all my old friends are doing well, had a great winter, and are now back out on the road with their Mini's.

Take good care of yourselves.

Larry

 

I'm looking forward to representing the CR Clubman at next week's run in the Black Hills. This will be my first time to put in some serious road time and tackle some extended twisties. Absolutely cannot wait! If I get any good pix I'll post them here.

 

Had a wonderful time putting Vera through her paces during the High Plains Motoring Society's Black Hills Run. What they say about the extra 15 hp one gets from Chili Red (plus 5 more for bonnet stripes?) must be true: this non-S Clubman had absolutely no problem running with all the MCSs in the twisties and on the open road, much to everyone's surprise, my own included!

More pix from the weekend are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tancred...7618409338543/.

Hope everybody's having fun this summer with their CR Clubbies!

 

That sounded like a great little trip. Wish I was there.

 

Glen - I love your CR/BLK MCC!! I'm now becoming convinced that as much as I might like some of the other colors, that PW and CR are two of the best on the Clubman - and they're free!

Yours is particularly nice looking...of course I am partial to the Cooper Clubman's front bonnet. I hope you haven't given up on the forum... It's often quite active. I know that I've been preoccupied with things other than MINI lately...but this can be a very helpful site. Congratulations upon your new MINI Clubman!

 

I've been a bad Chili Red hermit, and I now offer up pictures as repentance...

Pictures from our first two local club runs can be seen here:
