I have post 4001!

Nice, but your roof is dirty. You should order a chrome line interior retrofit!!! I just ordered one from Morristown...

Great looking Mini!! Chili Red is the best color... Fo sho.

Nice ride!! glad they changed to the painted fenders on the newer factory aero kits. Looks MUCH better... Enjoy!

Thats right!! I kinda wish I had gone 18s like you did. Yours look really great, and I bet they look even better in person!! I got 17s because I already had 17" crown spokes, so I kept the tires and sold the rims. Still in High School after all....

Thanks, we're 1/2 way home now. It was beautiful but it's nice to get down to where the three of us can breath again. My wife, myself, & the Cooper.

Thanks, but in all honesty, it's my wifes car. If I didn't already have a love affair with another car, I think I would have my own too, just no room left. I'm working on it though.
