Project Nighthawk
Back at last in a 2013 Midnight Black Cooper S Roadster, named 'Nighthawk' after the US F117 
Some seriously awesome roadsters on nam which will no doubt inspire lots of modifications over the next few months 
A new MINI adventure at the start of 2013:
Then the snow came which in the UK means the country closes down:
Defenders of Speed N18 OCC setup install:
Today after a detailing session:

Very nice Nighthawk. Fantastic pictures........
You guys with black cars, they take so much more work (I Had a Black Miata)
You and BlueToy, All I can say is WOW!!!!
Wicked Awesome Cool (Sorry Yank speak there is no translation)
From snowy New England.
I'm thinking the oil can will be my first mod in the spring, though I did get an Alta Performance Panel Air Filter last week..

Thanks everyone, it's good to be back
Zulu - there may be no translation but those three words together sound pretty good on this side of the pond too!
No mods to report this week but we took our first trip across The Channel to France and racked up some more mileage, as always the car was a joy although the run-flat tyres will be gone asap.. A fair amount of snow around and temperatures of -1oC but we still managed to get the roof down a few times..
Found a British Cooper S Clubman Hampton in Boulogne-sur-Mer
Overlooking The Channel at Neufchâtel-Hardelot
Small Northern French coastal towns are ghost towns during the winter months
Under the English Channel heading home..

Hey Mini Me,
Great pics ! How did you get the channel pic?
Also, my lady (wife ), who originally thought I was nuts to even think of trading my 135i for a roadster, is now excited, and wants to take MY roadster ( when it arrives...) to Plymouth (Cape Cod) for a weekend. AIN'T HAPPENING!!!
Again , super pics , keep them coming... Btw: my lady loves the Nighthawk!
Best, JoNack

Thanks everyone.. Jonack - didn't know there was another Plymouth, guess the name travelled to the states Do you mean the Channel Tunnel pic? You can get out of your car whilst on the train and use cameras, without flash..
Not a huge amount to report other than I've started de-chroming Nighthawk. Headlight rings and scuttles finished, still a lot to do though..

Bit of an update.. Went to Geneva for the Geneva Motor Show and a tour of the Alps - we covered 1,500 miles and the roadster was flawless throughout..
Getting ready for the trip..
Beautiful scenery..
Col Des Montets, near Chamonix France..
Evian, France - where the bottled water comes from (if you have it in the US)..
Back home..
LED side indicators...
