Good guess Ludicrous! Is this Konky's MO or something? Or do the Germans hoard all the hot wheels?

Something about that looks vaguely mafia hearse-ish, in a Very Highly Cool way... weird... maybe it's just the Halloween season or something.

Thanks! I searched many hours trying to find the perfect wheel as I waited for the Clubman to arrive. I’m happy with them. A little off subject, but when I ordered it I knew I was going to get aftermarket wheels. So I chose wheels that would fit my GEM car..

I believe these are no longer available and were sold 10 years ago??? Not 100% sure, but I know they looked bad a$$ on Konky's car and I'm hoping I can pull it off on my car. I hope the wheel guru's approve! Take a look:

It's a one-off suspension that I developed. It's an airride setup

Wow rally, better hope nobody leaves a spare sheet of tissue paper on the road or you'll rub! Looks great.

Reldieh, where did you get PAINTED fenders?! Your car looks sooo sleeeek! Did a bodyshop do that for you? How much do they usually cost? How did the shop get the body color exactly the same? Did they use MINI-approved paint?
