It's time for 6,500!!

The forum won't post a simple Pinterest link. It insists on trashing them.

If you do that to your poor MINI, I'm personally going to sell all my worldly possessions to put a contract out on your head.

Probably a governor restricting any higher RPMs when you get to redline. Protecting us from our own zest for fast motoring.

Looks great Sneaky!

I'm about done modding Lana. My silver turn signal bulbs should be here in a few days and that will get rid of the egg yolks, and that will be enough for me. Just never want to see myself coming and going and she's unique enough for that. I'll post pics when that is finalized.

Maybe I'll wait until it's 10 degrees in January and drive mine down!

To be honest, I would not have ordered my '14 Roadster S without the JCW Exterior Package. It completely changes the outer appearance of the Roadster and the Coupe IMO.

I should be a meteorologist. I drove the SUV today on a whim. Only a 30% chance of rain. Has been pouring for HOURS here. The MINIS are snug as a bug in a rug in my garage.

Will be selling the SUV as soon as my son passes his driving test but in the meantime, good to have it some days.
