Long Island, NY - December 13, 2014 - COLD!

I had just picked Rudy up the day before this pic was shot.

I'll take more when the weather warms up a bit.

I'd like to draw your attention to this thread. New entrants always welcome. Been great top-down weather this last few days around here (just below freezing, dry and sunny).

As "nuts" as some folks may think....I found driving on the Cherohala Skyway really more enjoyable as you could really enjoy the scenery a bit and not be in a constant high state of attention demanded by the "Dragon"....don't get me wrong...still did the Dragon but it's a bit intense after a "few" turns and always a bit paranoid some truck or wide-lined biker is "just around the blind corner".

Not necessarily true....MINI of Des Moines has its own xPel installers and does a good job.

I can vouch for the excellent quality of the install they did on mine.

Speaking of R59 pics, I realized that I hadn't posted a pic of my justa-boot since the last of the CF trim was added. Complete with Blizzaks on my dedicated MSW winter wheels.

The light precip kept me from putting the top down for the photo. Not everyone is as hard core as spiney.

Looks great. I got some 5 spoke MSWs for winter wheels on my wife's Clubman.

It's been too cold even for me recently. Was -17F first thing yesterday, but ended up the day at 36F. Very odd...

Mini of Des Moines did an excellent job on my invisabra, or whatever it's called. Nice job, very reasonable I'm happy. Can't ask for more.

My new (to me) 2014 Roadster S in Pepper White with Toffee interior. I had a hard time getting pictures of the inside from washing out, but you get the idea.
