A couple recent pics
I went to Grand Rapids two weeks ago to go to a car show that www.contour.org puts on every year, but I'm not going to post any of those pics, just ones with the one and only MINI there...mine
The show and shine at Fox Ford in Grand Rapids and my dog is doing his job!
Shining in the sun, flanked by my buddy's 03' EVO VIII
I was REAL close to getting an EVO VIII like the one to my left, but my wife thought it would be better to get a brand new car, I tried to get one (an 05' EVO IX w/14K for $27K) I will always lust after the EVO, but because my R56 has exceeded my expectations and is now almost done being modded properly, it takes the sting out of not getting what I originally wanted. It just goes to show you what one test drive and going back to what you wanted 2 years ago can do for you. Oh yeah, here's the pic

I had it custom done locally by a place called PF&E and they used mandrel bend piping, Magnaflow muffler and Pypes tip. BTW thanks for the compliments!

Right back at you Coffee and I must say, you've gotta have the most optioned MINI on this forum and if not, what didn't you get I especially like the interior, the English Oak looks great and I wish I would've gotten it because with the traditional BRG/W it would've looked great. I think the one thing that held me back was the piano black trim, my wife has it and its a magnet for marks and that would just crush me over time. I may look into a dash aplique' but its gotta be the right kit.
Trinity, I hear you and atleast I get to drive my buddy's 300whp/300tq when I see him and his wife a couple times a year. He actually drove my MCS when I was in G.R., before the injectors messed up and was blown away by the car
