Mini in the Mountains
Just a pic of my S with the Rockies behind them. Motoring in the mountains..... can't beat it. I'm about to head back (I live in NYC).

Mini S 2007 Astro Black OEM roof rails, Rocky Mounts/Thule bike trays.

RE: Pike's Peak
Actually, it's lowly James Peak near Mt. Evans. Great area. Hope to drive up to Pike's this summer.

Hi,

Just to clear it out.. The DS is mine, the CR JCW is my brother's ride.
The rims are Rota replica's (18*8 4x100 ET45 or sth) and yeah, he put BBS center caps on them
The diffuser is from a Challenge MINI, pretty hard to get by.
Rims on the DS one are R113's painted in Aspen White, OEM JCW rims.
Thanks for the comments

I understand that but no need to call people out.. Why not just feel good that you know whats up and let it go? Just thinking sometimes nothing said is a more mature option. Each to their own.. just wondering if it felt good, thats all.
