Ok, I am having an absolute blast with my MINI. I will post two picks, one of the mini and one of the "RALLYE" insignia I have on the side of the car.

Edit - pics are too big, how does one resize them? I opened them up in Paint but when I saved them as 800x800 it just cropped it?

You can open them up in paint press ctrl+w, then type in a smaller number than 100 in the first two boxes, stretch & skew. Try 50%. Then save the file. Repeat if necessary.

Thought I'd offer an updated image. About the most dechromed DS/B MINI I've seen, and if not, I'm sure someone will post one without the chromed door handles!


cheers,

Welcome! Anything you need to know specifically about owning a DS MINI, or a MINI in general? If you're here on NAM, then you already know a lot...and stick around for more. It's the place to learn about your stock car, and when you start to modify it, it's *the* source for all the tips and tricks, and things to look out for other than potholes.
cheers,

Great looking, but the holes in the front bumper make me sad. Poor MINI's that have to endure registration in front-plate-states

Oh, I dunno. Maybe have to drive through town in a MINI of a different color? With a gauntlet of DSOC owners at the end with cameras in hand.

The membership for Fight Club is a bit much and I can't talk to my family about it. May I join the DSOC? I hope this doesn't involve blood due.

I have a DS/B on order, to be an early October delivery. Can't wait!

I live in NM, but bought the car in CO, and by the time I got to the dealer they had drilled the holes and put a dealer plate on the front. I could have wept, but the thrill of a new MINI was too much to make me dwell on it. I have small screws painted to match the body color installed, and that's what you can see. There must be a better way not involving a body shop, though.

cheers,

I think that DSOC is a friendlier club.
