Thanks for all the praise, it was a fun project. Now she likes to take the car to get the mail (about a half a block away). And as far as she is concerned she has the real thing. Today she pointed out the JCW sticker I put on last night to our neighbor. She really cracks me up.
I can't wait till she turns 5 and get her in a go cart ..if she still want too

THAT is AWESOME!!!!

I have a set of OEM grey fabric mats that I'll never use. (I live on a dirt road, and have a gravel driveway). They're in awesome shape, very little wear if any. I can throw them in a box for you.

Just need your address.

Wow! That is very very kind of you. Do they have any kind of mini branding on them?
Thanks again, NAM has some fantastic members.

They are the ones that came with my 2003 MCS. I have the rubber winter mats that I'll run year round due to my locale.

I'll get some pics tonite...

Fairly certain they look just like these, but in better condition:

Ha ha, look at her. I bet she bats her eyes at daddy and gets just about whatever she wants.

It's ok though, my son is the same way with mom.

That's pretty much how it is, but I will have to say she is more polite than most any adult you would ever meet. If we meet new people, she will take the initiative to shake someones hand and say "My name is Sinclair, nice to meet you". You should see the looks she gets, its just hilarious to hear her speak like a little adult.

What can I say, I'm a proud Dad.

No apologies needed. I hope all in well.
They look like they would work, I would have to do some "modifying" though :-)
No rush, but let me know what you need for shipping and your trouble.
Thanks again scf!

I finally got my car home and took a picture next to our 1st Mini of the family.

I don't know how my wife feels about being kicked out of the garage.

It sure is nice to see and hear good things in this trouble world. You are a lucky man and I'm sure your family is lucky to have you as well.
