MINIBIRD pimped up with some bolts.

 

Hi,
Per this thread's request, here's a picture of my brand new MCS at the dealership when I picked her up, probably to be called Mini Griffin...haven't quite settled on the name yet. :impatient

 

very nice looking R56! and a nice looking car sitting next to you

 

 

 

Picked up on 9/29/07. Calling him Prowl after the black/white cop car Autobot from the Transformers. Same color scheme as my very first car, a '90 White/black Plymouth Laser. This was taken up on Mt Hamilton in San Jose, CA today. Nothing but 24 miles of 2nd and 3rd gear blind curves, s-curves, 90 deg turns, hairpin turns, and short sweepers. I actually almost made myself sick driving here cause there's nary a straight road from beginning to end. Okay, that's a lie..maybe just one mile combined of semi straight road.

i would LOVE to drive here.

That's the road up to Lick Observatory, right? I know what you mean about making yourself sick on that road -- especially at 2:00 AM after an astronomy star party.

 

 

Named after my favorite beer!

 

How about an interior shot...

Nice shot! What camera and what settings?

Paul - Great response (full) and a fun read... That's a big camera - how/where did you mount it and then trigger it.

Nice photo...

 

Very nice shot Paul. Well done!

 

Since you like the first one, here is another from the same night. The shots were made on a tripod. One leg in each of the rear armrest areas, one on the center console. Remote release on cable.

The green light is stobed in effect due to the 60Hz flicker of the lights illuminating the sign.

Very nice, looks like the aliens are beaming you up.

Hey Flaco looks nice - have you joined DC Metro MINIs yet? :-)

 

Thanks, but not just yet. I am busy blacking out chrome with the help of my 2 year old son whom I have full time. Hopefully, we'll join you soon, but look for us around town. He has the Recaro seat in the back....

 

I picked him up Friday and have been having a blast taking him onto some of the local canyon roads. Look here for his pre-introduction with pics before the R90-16's were installed.

The pics attached here are from a road very appropriately named Spunky Canyon Rd with the Bouquet Resevoir in the background.
