I am 99% sure I saw your car when I went down to Richmond for a dinner/meeting at Momma Wok. Went right through Midlo when picking up a buddy.

Are you on hrminis.com or dcmetrominis.org? I am not sure of any central VA groups, but both the aforementioned groups venture in/through Richmond, and its' surrounding areas.

Is that an HDR pic? it looks really good.
Actually, it's an iPhone 4 that took the photo. No special filters or effects, just a regular snapshot.

I'm also on hrminis.com as ... you guessed it... G33KGUY.

There is a small group including myself working on launching RVA MINIs Motoring group to cater to the RVA area. There's a group on Facebook (RVA MINIs Motoring Group) that you can join. We're working on launching a FB page and accompanying website (RVAMinis.com) over the next few weeks as well.

Cruised back from the races at Buttonwillow after a weekend of broken race cars, empty beer bottles and great friends! Installing the ScanGauge II tomorrow.

Left hher in the garage all weekend, as I was a vendor at a wine festival , and had to take my hubbies Toyota Tacoma. didn't think all my stuff for the festival (jewelry, tables, shelter, chairs, etc) would fit in my Clubbie. I hadn't driven his truck in many months. DID NOT LIKE DRIVING IT AT ALL . I appreciate the fact that a pick up truck is very useful and practical, but soooo not fun to drive. Looking forward to motoring my MINI to work, today!!

Does this mean you now have to change your screen name to Fatherof5?
Thanks!

This will be our little girl. She has 3 protective old brothers

No change... Wife was already pregnant with 4th when I bought the CMS.

It is so. I am upgrading my wife to a 328i and will be taking her 118i (German spec) as my daily driver. It has been a great run but I really need the 40+ mpg that the 118i can give but the Mini can't on the autobahn. The new BMW will double as the family car as well.

Someone is going to get a great deal on a Mini though. I am only asking $17500 as it is. If I can't find a buyer I will pull most of the mods and trade it in.
It has been a great car and I will miss it but it is time.

@David - Is your MINI a US spec or a German spec?

Looks cool! Does it have sunroof? Most graPhics for roof I've seen are for without sunroof.
