Out of the shadows and into the light

Hi everyone, I've mostly used the site for research, so you could say I've been lurking. I am active in the Florida area with SSM and it's local chapters.

I have an '05 MCS which I purchased from Lauderdale MINI on April 29th, 2005. His name in Jekyll & Hyde and he was a dealer demo. He has the Sport, Premium, Convenience, White Bonnet Stripes & Sunroof Graphic, Rally Lights, Black Panther Leather, Alarm, HB interior, Chrono package, Bling Bling (Chrome) Package, Harman Kardon.

He has since had some additions, which include:
Scoop grill, Sunshine MINIs badge, Honda S2000 Stubby Antenna, Toggle Panel Chrome Trim, My_Mini Chrome Door Caps, My_Mini rear seat pull straps, My_Mini 4th brake light kit, My_Mini "Give me a Break" rear fog light kit, My_Mini tow hook, Falken Circuit Spec wheels, MINI Motoring Hearts grill badge.

He now has 21,500 miles and we've motored together for 14,500. Road trips include Key West, Tampa Bay, Winter Park, St. Augustine & Daytona Beach... all in Florida. We're looking forward to Mickey & MINI this year and the Dragon in 2007.

Here's some pictures we've selected and are in chronological order from oldest to newest. See ya around!

Hi Montyforumal1,

Welcome to you and Mr. Jekyll and Hyde. Nice mini and it sure looks good in that environment. I like that scoop grill, I haven't seen that before. Enjoy

Made it myself using gutter material from the home depot & some aviator snips. I got the template from another SSM member.
