Nice pic ! What a sight, when you come across the English Channel and first see the cliffs.

Bringing back good memories, Serby.

For those not on the Boheme here are my pics.





Does it count against your 10 percent if no one is in the car when the top is up?

You can never see enough pictures of a HO Mini, so..


On the way to the Dragon in July 2005 (we were just married and that was one of our honeymoon destinations)


The day we brought it home... (I wish it still looked this clean)

I'm going to have to ask Jay how many curse words he uses when he polishes and waxes Cecilia.

ty...the wife and son has just named her MoonStar. she's named after a necklace the boy bought to hang in the car. we are liking her more and more everyday. it's a car the wifey has wanted since they came stateside. my 04 silverado sacrificed it's life with us for MoonStar, my fault for taking her with me on a routine oil change, lol. (no regrets however, it's a friggin blast to drive!!)


now to her some new kicks and she'll be set for awhile.


wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

only aftermarket mod is exhaust,
Well, the painted arches on an aerokit are not standard by any means. (plus color matched aero grill surround) . . . and it seems to sit low (although that may just be angle of the photo) -- I wouldn't be surprised if there are some after-market springs on there.
My guess is you'll find some other non-OEM stuff. . . painted arches aren't usually the first mod. and if you have exhaust, the previous owner may very well have put in a reduction pulley.

well, i just looked, after reading the exhaust sticky in the drivetrain section, and it seems our exhaust is stock save for some different tips. but it has a nice "burble" note to it when one is shifting.

i forgot about the body kit being painted. we are the second owners of this 4800 mile (at time of purchase, currently sitting at just over 7k on the odo) beaut.

any tips on eyeballing other mods? i will get some better pics up when i can.
