Looks awesome, but I would go without the wing. Although it is your car!

Speaking of Hamann, Does anyone know where I can their exhaust? Quick Google would indicate that I'm SOL (at least that's what I get at my current Google skill level), but it sounds so awesome, I want one!

Dan,

I just sent you a pm with some questions about the wheels, but there are a few that I asked that other members may want to know.

What is the exact weight of the wheels?

Are there any issues with rubbing?

Not with factory struts. We've had to use wheel spacers with KW coilovers, though.

Mini Fever At Work
The "mini epidemic" has spread where I work!
One of our employees has had an '06 Mini convertible for a couple years now, and last year 4 of us bought '08 MCS's within about a month of one another (the last one a clubbie)!

You guys need to post a sign that says "MINI parking ONLY!"

SomethingNew71: NICE ride! Love the roof graphic... but them I am a bit partial toward the black jack myself.

Thanks very much.

I get it in three weeks, so for now these are just the dealer pictures. I'm moving up from a ONE D so its going to take a little while getting used to all the extra power. :D

Ofest 2008 at Watkins Glen. Me taking first place in the stock Mini class at the autocross and the better half at speed on the track in the pouring rain. Would not have been bad except after 16 autocross runs and two days of track time the tires were just about bald!

So you guys dont have the recaro seats over there?

The rears are custom made as MINI dont sell rear seats to match the JCW's up-front. The previous owner spent allmost £33,000 on this car which is just craaaazy, however I don't think there was an option he didnt tick.

Luckily with me buying it used I have saved an absolute fortune.
