Plain eh? Well, maybe Krutty's car is plain, but everyone else has some pizzaz! Club members I mean, obviously.

Click the gallery link in my sig for more pics of a non-plain Mini.

 

Very nice. I like it. I have to think a little harder so I'm not obviously ripping off anyone.

 

MINIs are English.

The English are big on understatement.

Ergo, understated MINIs are best.

QED

 

remember, Copying is the art of flattery or something like that! I really don't think anyone will have a problem if you get stripes like theirs, or a graphic. But like I said, the possibilities are endless. Mike (AC) can put almost anything on that little baby of yours!

 

We ordered our new 2006 MCS with the Silver bonnet stripe to match the top and mirrors. We also ordered the Webspokes to add a bit of sportiness. I guess that is about it.

Our MINI is at the NY Distribution Center and hopefully we will see it in the next few days.

 

LOL, you haven't heard the story from James (JNT - Marina's hubby) about his coworker yet, have you?

 

Huh? You mean JNT?

 

OOPS! Yep... post edited. :impatient

 

Anyone ever notice all of the stickies in DCMM forum? Man we have alot going on!! We are busy here in DCMM!

 

But we are conservative! LOL I totally love this group!

 

I don't think anyone is saying that DCMM member's MINIs are conservative, its more in reference to all the MINI owners around DC that just use their MINI as a commuter car ... Its just such a waste of a great car! I bought my MINI in Princeton, NJ and at the local NJTransit train station there were always a ton of MINIs in the parking lot. I bet most of them are just used for the daily commute as the Princeton area strikes me as pretty much dead when it comes to MINI enthusiasts.

But I've been very impressed with DCMM so far, it seems like this is one of the most active clubs in the country

 

more than half the first page is stickies. perhaps a single 'sticky containment thread' with links is a better way to manage them.

 

We just happen to have a LOT going on in a short period of time. As soon as an event is over, I unsticky it... so I think things will calm down soon.

 

He actually sold his van and kept the MINI as a family car (2 adults 3 children). I wonder if he will try to buy a GP now Sorry, all SOLD OUT.

Cars.com got 2 ... $29K for one of them.

 

I agree!! And the more events, the better!!!

 

I'd say that's a good assumption.

 

I should have bought from them as they are cheaper then the dealer !!

... wonder which roof number they have and where they put the roof # on the convertible.

Plain?? Your Mom is plain. Mine has English Leather and ooohhh look JCW and ooooh look.. it has white bonnet stripes... and wait..... XM DIRECT!!!!

Mine is special on the inside.. :-)

 

Yup, plain is open to interpretation. Mine is 'plain' on the outside as in no graphics 'cept stripes. But have the full aero kit and you don't see too many converts with that. Add in some aftermarket but 'plain' or 'clean/simple & very open' as I like em wheels and wider rubber and it's a look I like. Then of course if you walk up and look inside it gets a little nuts.

My 'restraint' on the outside is due to having and trying to balance a very busy interior.

And as far as copying mentioned in a earlier post, remember that stealing one persons work is plagiarism, stealing many peoples work is research.

 

I'm getting a new set of wheels and graphics done in the next 30 days...hoping it's not too 'busy'.

 

speaking of altering the MINI, does anyone know where to get wheel arches painted / color coded?

 

Only took you like a week to catch that.

 

Conservative, consmervative.........
