Bruto is our new R56 - we picked him up on Thursday and have been too busy motoring to take pictures until today!
(Bruto is an anagram for turbo - yes, we are dorks like that).

Hey, welcome to NAM!! I love the "twins" idea...and the names, too!
Nice to see the white roof on the silver MINI....wonderful!
I've been thinking about getting an FJ when it's time to replace my ancient '88 Isuzu Trooper. Really dig the retro styling.

Looks great SPD & Trixie! I can't wait for mine to finally get here! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the roof and mirrors painted, and what was the charge for it?

Nice, good road and great pictures. I do think I may retro the rear fogs on my R56.
