Thank you, thank you! I luv my MINI. Was excited and anxious to get on here and immediately post my pictures... would like to make one as my avatar but have not figured out how to as of yet. Still trying to figure out my way around this site. 
I think I might take more pictures this afternoon and post as well. 
As for the mods, I haven't really thought about it. I just got him (he is a him
) a few weeks ago. The only things that I have thought about adding to him is black bonnet strips in the front and I would also like to try to get a black decal of the Cooper S to put at the bottom of the doors. Honestly, I don't know much about the mods to make on the MINI. (Note to self: MUST check out that part of the forum!)
I love your cartoon pictures of the MINI's.
They are so cute! How did you do them? I would like to make one of Britie if I am able to. 
Have a great day!

You rock! Thanks for that link. All those pictures are brilliant! He is extremely talented.
All three of your MINI's are so awesome! Wow! So much time and work put into all that, but it all goes together so perfectly! I didn't realize there was quite so much you can do with the car. The only new addition I have to it is a 3D strawberry air freshener hanging on the rear view mirror.
I never got to take any more pictures today... too busy getting old and celebrating my b-day. More pictures to be posted soon, I assure you.

Not even close. And Happy Birthday to you. Can't wait to see more pics of your MINI as you start to get the Mod Bug.
And thanks for the compliments on our MINIs... we love them all.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.
I have the cockpit chrono package and REALLY want to take pictures of my dual tach/speedometer! That will be the next picture up.
No problem on the compliment. It would appear that you have had them for a while... have you ever really had any problems with them? My 2006 is already starting to give me problems. Funny thing is, yesterday I read somewhere on this forum that if you give the car the wrong gender and a name it doesn't like, that it WILL let you know. All of a sudden today, it has given me problems and it looks like I will have to take it to the dealer.
Creepy....

The other one is an 05 MCS Convertible. We bought it about a year and a half ago. It had 31,000 miles on it when we bought it. It's a weekend toy. We've only put about 6,000 miles on it. Not a problem with it, either (again, knocking on wood).
Bummer yours is acting up. Care to elaborate on the problems ? Nothing large, I hope.

Please excuse my ignorance since I know very little about Coopers just now (but would like to learn as much as I can ), but what is a JustaCooper and MCS? All I know about mine is that it is a 2006 S automatic. It has a little under 52,000 miles on it. Haven't traveled much with it in the last few weeks of having it. Glad to hear that yours have all been good to you. One thing I heard about these cars is that problems were always minimal and the most needing to be done is the scheduled stuff as with yours.
As far as the problem with the car, the yellow flat tire monitor light, ABS, and ASC/DSC indicator lamp (the triangle with the exclamation point surrounded by the arrowed circle) suddenly came on and stayed lit. When the car was turned off, then turned on and driven for a while it had no problems but then the same indicators turned on again and stayed lit. Then, the yellow service engine soon indicator turned on with them. Again the car was turned off and turned back on and this time only the service engine soon indicator lit up and stayed lit. The car was only driven a few miles back to my house, so I'm not sure if the other lights would have randomly lit up as well had the car been driven farther. Now I am afraid to drive it thinking that something could be really wrong with it. I thought maybe the ASC issue might have been due to the switch being turned off, but no matter what I did the indicator remained lit. Hopefully it isn't something really bad.

Maybe some other posters here can give you a better idea on what your MINI might be trying to tell you. Personally, I've had my yellow Check Engine light come on while driving and it was just a bad O2 sensor. Hmmmm.... okay, I have had one problem with one of my MINIs. I had forgetten that, probably because it was a simple problem covered under warranty.
But, ruh-roh for you, it appears your warranty is up, unless you have the extended plan. Do you have an appt to take yours in for service ?
