My MINI's getting a new home, in WI! She's due to arrive on Christmas Eve! I got her a few boot-warming presents: a new water bottle, mud flaps, and a stubby antenna.

Fresh rubber!

4 new hankook optimos installed next week. The reviews are so-so for them, I know, but i'm no racer, and the price can't be beat- $69.99 each.

Mine got a set of winter wheels/tires a little early. Even though it looks like we're not going to see a single snow flake (not complaining)

It was warm yesterday so my almost 2 month old car got her first hand wash.

How about a New Year's Resolution thread? I want to get her tinted asap.

New Bridgestone Grids are just waiting for my last Bridge Spoke to be powder coated black - not exactly ready for Christmas, but should be less than 2 weeks away! Can't wait for the new look.

I might get some PIAA wipers just to tide him over...

My MINI got a new clutch/tranny for Christmas.
I on the other hand I got all kinds of MINI goodies.... Shirts, remote control MINI, and of course the Bentley manual so I can help maintain my baby for many years to come!
Funny how things change in a year! This year I only asked for things for my car, and of course anything from MINI, or has a MINI logo on it, is PERFECT!
Merry Christmas everybody!
And Merry Christmas to all the beautiful MINI's no matter how old, or where they are!!
Mines in a cold, quiet garage, until I get back from Christmas in Vegas!!
Merry Christmas Bernie!!

Some new Go Badges...







Not too many spots to put them with the chrome stock grill, unless you remove it and can get to all the openings from the back. Piece of cake after I found these great instructions.

Bazzle got a nice shorty antenna and some cool "S" logo valve caps. An early Christmas present was a set of the rubber floor mats for some protection in the lovely NorthEast winters.
Also a spot cleared out in the garage next to the Monte.
He's only been here for 4 days, and he did get a nice coat of wax on Christmas Eve too.

Very nice Albie...you're gonna' love the Grids!! Post pics. once you've gotten' it all back together...really wanna' see what the Bridgespokes will look like in Black. My OEM ones have issues from the Dealer not being very nice when balancing and rotating, so I swapped them out with the Enkei's...I'm glad I did, they give Molly a whole new look!!
