Glad I amuse you...you mean you don't talk to your Mini in a high pitched "baby talk" voice? Really?

BTW - I do have some pics in My Gallery.

2010 HB Clubman, fairly loaded and much loved...

What did I do to my Mini today?

What did the sadist do to the masochist?



but seriously -- should this thread not be titled "What did I do WITH my Mini today"? The objectification of the Mini implied by the snippet "do to" is anathema to the anthropomorphic spirit of the majority of us, dontcha think?

The answer to the first question is of course "nothing!".

(But you knew that.)

I removed the headlight trim, gas cap as well as the molded door handles from Aesthetic Creations and painted them all gloss black. I'm letting them dry in the garage right now, will post pics later.

No. If you add something to something else, you're doing 'to' it. Not 'with' it.

If I add a badge or some floor mats to my Mini, I'm not adding them 'with' my Mini.

Further, having anthropomorphic spirit is not mutually exclusive to the spirit of modding your toy...which is the crux of this thread.

What did I do to my Mini today? I wished her well on her voyage. She's currently traversing the Mid-Atlantic Trench. When she finally gets here, I'm going to add some stripes with her. I mean to her.

Yeesh! The hook has a "loop" in it right? Try sticking something long and sturdy like a broom handle through it for leverage...

This thread is becoming too copious for my credulous comprehension.

To it, with it , on it, over it,.... too much for me.

So, I gather you suffered the downward spiral of this thread WITH your Mini today?

Good for you!

Now go for a drive and eschew your melancholy.
