Boister, I love the work you've done on your Mini. I chatted to you a little at Nelson's Landing.
Anyway, I finally got my roof graphic on at AMVIV. Here's a pic taken by Nik:

Well ... If I feel a need for speed, then I take the "Crush" (Orange) Mini Special. If I need to haul or carry spare parts, then I take the "Elmo" (Red) Mini 95. If its a night out on the town, then its "Madame" (white) Mini 1000.

Here are my wife's and my daily drivers.

Whilst in living in the UK, I learned the driver side rear window is your Minis "window of honor". It displays all the events you have attended.

Sideache, what are the two small window-clings on your driver side rear window?

Here's a super-quick, (and poorly executed) Photochop version of what my mini might look like when it's finished. Don't laugh at the sloppy retouching, please . I took this photo during a recent MiniTec visit where we experimented with different seating options.

Wow, and triple pack of mini/MINI madness. I'm glad to see a "relative" to my pickup here in this part of the Midwest. Once mine gets finished, I'll make an effort with you to cross paths this summer. I think I mentioned that there's apparently at least one other in KC area and one on the east side of the state.

Nice. Congrats!

It's my girlfriend's xB ... a 2006. She loves it. The mini is the only car that makes the xB look big.

Cheers,
Jeff

Here is a video of my Mini running. It's a crappy camera phone video and the sound quality kinda sucks but I like it.
