I went a slightly different route for adorning the top of my 05 CR/W MCS:

And just in case you aren't a Star Wars fan, here is a reference pic:

Cool. From the title, I was kind of expecting an R2 roof graphic. That looks great. Now you always have a co-pilot.

 

is there alot of wind noise at high speed?!?!?

 

Thanks!

I just took it up to interstate speeds today for the first time. I was a little paranoid, and so had a friend follow me home from a meeting. It didn't move a millimeter.

It really doesn't add to the sound at all, even up to 78 mph. I was surprised, actually...

 

May the force be with you.


:smile:

 

LOL that's great! But it looks like it was trash day and you're the only one who hasn't brought in the cans! (probably too busy motorin).

Peace,
Tatt

 

:-) Actually, it is my neighbors (you can see it is closer to his driveway). Of course, I USUALLY am the last one to move my cans in, but since I was taking pictures, I moved them in early.

Of course, for the observant, you may notice that my R2 IS technically a trash can lid. So I was taking the 'trash out' and motoring at the same time

 

upon review I figured it was neighbor's...

OHH!, that reminds me I promised the missus that I would break up some old construction materials (and get them out to the curb) which I had "strategically relocated" to a spot leaning against the side of the house, when I performed my initial Garage Prep for new MINI! Alas, there they sit (or more precisely, lean)... I love that woman! (better get some flowers on the way home, to off-set my procrastination).

We have much to be grateful for,
Tatt

 

the new MINI Cooper S, R2-D2 optional

 

very cool, I love it! :smile:

 

R2-D2 is Skywalker's "Artoo" unit, I'd get my own.

Besides, a red "Artoo" is just sportier ;-)

Cheers,

Matthew Z.

 

Does it light up?

 

What'll they think of next? Please know I am kidding. Your pics made me laugh, very creative. I like the ad on ESPN where R2 is beaming Princess Leah onto the desk during SportsCenter.

 

No lights I'm afraid. Just a painted trash can lid, some pvc and the magnets from a couple of old XM satellite antennas to keep it up there.

Right now it is easily removeable (for when my wife is in the car). If I were to add wiring for lights (and for a junkyard auto-window motor for motion), it would make it a much more time consuming task. But who knows, I may do it anyway...

What'll I think of next? Why, the wings to mount on back when I am not driving down the road (too wide), of course
