Monty loves to push the posted speed limit just a bit, even though I valiantly try to rein him in.
Owner and car are both doing fine, and Monty is all tucked in to his garage space for the night - the first time 'my' car has been parked in the garage in 8 years.
Man, this thing's a dream to drive. Lane changes? Just think it, the car does it. Need to pass? The merest suggestion of pressure from the right foot and I'm leaping past the slowpokes in the right hand lane.
Let's Motor? Exactly.

Numbe Update
We need an update on the member's numbers. Gotta have more numbers to identify us. In today's world, we need more numbers. My head is so full of numbers now that I am soon going to have to get a bigger hard-drive installed. Where else but in MINI-world can one belong to multiple clubs and have such a great time?

Count me in
Is there any way to get #168. That's the serial # of my born on 1/16/02 MCS. It must have come over on the 1st boat. Over 4 years of ownership and it's been one hell of a car. Check out my Gallery for the 1st MINI Cooper S to arrive in Orlando Fl.

Your MINI has Exterior Chrome Package?
How are your MINI's glasses?
My MINI has 20% tinted side glasses and 5% tinted sun-roof.
Glad to meet you again in DSOC.

I thought the chrome "popped" nice on the DS, not too blingy IMHO.

Long motoring trip? Road trip or business? If it's in a MINI, then even a business trip can be a fun trip if it doesn't involve too many I-state sections. I have a business trip coming up and plan to take the MINI route. It's 500+ miles and I can probably beat the airlines because they just don't go there. Any excuse will do.
Motor On! Safely.

Anyone here running OZ Ultarleggera wheels? The Matte Graphite probably would look great with DS, and would be easier to deal with brake dust. Or the Crystal Titanium....?
I clean the wheels on my 03 MCS every 50-100 miles!
Any pics? I will try Tire Rack, but "real" pictures are better!
Thanks!
