we Mini owners have our own culture! I was in the middle of two today. The one up front was a PW with black roof, then me AB all the way! and a HB with black stripes. It was kinda fun!!
Have a good one!

Yep, it's definitely addicting. I sold my MCS a couple months ago thinking it was time to try something else and now I'm back....with another MCS on order. This is worse than crack cocaine........

So, Rocinante!

My Front plate says QUIXOTIC. Now if I could figure out how to mount it.
In Texas we have front plates so I had to find a way to mount it without drilling holes. I got the no-holes plate holder from gominigo.com. It works terrific and looks good. It screws into your tow hook spot. A bit pricey for a not necessary plate maybe but it would work great for you and not create holes.

All with 300 miles on the little girl, whom I have named "Rocinante"

My Jeep never made me feel this good!

I have also spent almost all of my waking (non-driving) hours here at NAM. What a great group of people!

I am so glad I made this decision! Thanks all
Wait till you get past 5000 posts...imagine all the time invested here at NAM to get there Not to mention all the time spent in my garage to get my Mini where it's at today...What am I doing with my life? :impatient

Quick...sell your Mini and run for your life!!!

Spending every waking moment thinking about or doing something to your MINI? everyone should have a hobby.
MSFITOY - From the pics, it appears your time was spent wisely.

Wait till you go to get gas - and when you come out there is a crowd of people looking at it. The comments may include (usually from SUV drivers):

"how many clowns fit in this?"
"Where do you put the AA batteries?"
and my personal favorite-
"Where is the rest of it?"

Congrats!

I get that a lot from local SUV drivers - and they all seem genuinely puzzled as to why someone would *want* a small car...

I just smile and ask them to let me know when they want to go for a real drive...

So where do you mount your lance? Does the double-sided tape work for that as well?
