New shoes on "The MINI"

I finally broke down and got a second set of wheels and F1 all seasons... I think I might like this look even better the the Kosei's. I need to get better center caps though. I didn't like the silver bolts, used the black one from the Kosei's...

The new shoes look great, black caps for sure, but they look good already.

Keep us posted on the long-term with those M/S F1's, I'd be curious if they get loud or not. I'm definitely considering those tires for next winter season purchase.

As to the girlfriend, Did you tell her before or after you posted here? <wink><wink><nudge><nudge> say no more.

Will do on the long term report. I saw one or two opinions on line of folks that thought they were loud. But a similar number complained about the F1 GS-D3's and I have no issue with them re: noise. Well one set did as they cuppped on the rear so I rotate them front to rear more often.

Hahahah Told her before. She isn't a MINI person so she doesn't know NAM anyway. Actually getting on the Auto Train tomorrow with the MINI and going to spend two weeks in FL with her. Top down motoring!

2 weeks in Fla...you lucky dog. Where in Fla? I'd still take a sweater...they just had a hard freeze over most of the middle and northern part of the state with that cold snap last week...
So, she's not a MINI person...is she at least a sailor?
Have fun!

Well she lives in Clearwater (Just below Tampa). They've had some cold snaps but it's going back to the norm in the 70's. We'll be a few days there, several down in Miami, hitting the big, BIG boat show there, and a few days at Daytona Beach. And I was careful re: Daytona, week after the 500, week before Bike Week.

Nope, not a sailor but she's willing.
