Now THAT's what I'm talking about!!! That's what I wanted for my EB/White w/white bonnet stripes. I already have the mirror covers and valve covers. (I've decided to wait since my 2003 goes out of warranty soon, so trading her in for a new one.) THEN I'll get my checkerboard strips and roof!
That's one cool looking car chows4us. Why RIP? Gone?

I've noticed that DC in general is a very conservative place. People here are pretty low-key and understated. Sometimes this can be to a fault as it seems some here don't know how to enjoy life and have fun. I really like DC but it can be a little drab. But I guess in regards to my MINI I shouldn't really talk since I haven't gotten around to doing anything on it yet...
And, in response to your last statement, but AT LEAST you drive a MINI! That says something about you...

I have to agree with most of you about how conservative this area is. I mean, go to the Capital arond lunch and all you see is grey and black. 
As for MINI's, most of the owners around here use them for transportation,that is why alot of us are not waving as much anymore. As for us, just look

OH and for those that do not have a creative mind that's my specialty. Ask MiniNurse I can make you anything from wild to mild. Check out last years AC/DC event.

From building/ordering to receiving, what's the wait time nowadays, Misty? (Back in 2003 it was around 10 months, although I luckily got it in less than half that time.)

Understatement
But what about the Rolling Stones
, they're British and decidedly NOT understated, and The Beatles for that matter, and Fergie, Fergie is definitely NOT understated, although she's had people of the Royal-nature try to make her so, and Sir Elton John, now THERE's a definitely NOT understated dude!

(I also agree with you about the DCMM group--this has been a nice forum with a great group of enthusiasts. It almost makes me sad that I hadn't participated sooner.
)Y'ALL ROCK!

He sold it recently, and bought a Porsche Cayman to replace it. See this thread."Stickying" a thread forces it to remain at the top of the list of threads, yes.

i haven't like putting stickers on my cars since i was 18. i apperciate the natural lines of the car without stickers. cars look so much smoother to me without anything on it.
here is a pic of my gti and my passat that im trading up for the mini.

I had to delete your picture because it was far too large and taking up too much of the screen. Can you please edit your post again and link to a smaller version of the pic?
EDIT: In your post below - perfect sizing!
