Pink nail polish in the engraved grooves is another good option!
Mmm, nail polish . why I didn't think about it? oh, yes, I'm not a girl . I agree with the long stipes.

And underbonnet, you could paint the cover and put pink eyes .

It would be cool to have a photoshoot with just the two pink/black MINIs... or with mine and Batgirlwildcat's on the side and StoopidGirl's in the middle!! But alas, I live too far :(... maybe I'll come to the Dragon...

The sets used in professional 9-ball sometimes use a solid pink ball for the 3 ball.

You should definitely make plans to come to the Dragon. All the pink MINI girls are usually there, plus a large contingent from SOMC and MMMC.

Pool ***** can come in any color so while perhaps not in the traditional set, custom pool balss are very common. I like the idea of pink in the engraving or perhaps a stone insert ?

How about a pink pin strip on the side of the car? Something clean and simple like a single strip? Just be careful not to end up with so much pink that it stops being the accent color.

I think more time needs to be spent looking for the right bikini - summer will be here before you know it! here are two places to start

So true!

In fact, after going out for brunch this morning with my wife, mother, and two sisters, we stopped at a rural flower shop (dried flowers and herbs), and I actually ENJOYED it!

In fact, I bought a nice arrangement of various dried weeds and Pheasant feathers, to hang on the wall.

Now I'd better get the Roadster out of the garage, and go out and act like a MAN again!

Opinion on chrome

Instead of chrome wheels, get black wheels and chrome upper vents. They sell vent covers that just stick on and they look really cool... I thought of getting them, and I still haveit in the back of my mind.

The MINI looks awesome! very one-off...

Hahaha, I'm taking away your manliness? This is not good. Kinda reminds me of that Hummer commercial... Where the guy is in line at the grocery store and is buying all this tofu and vegetarian stuff and the guy behind him is buying tons of meat. So the vegetarian guy goes out and buys a Hummer to restore his manliness.

You guys can do that without a Hummer too, because we all know that MINI drivers are obviously not compensating for anything

theres a thread here about colored guages - a pink set would be a nice interior accent to go along with your exterior pink efforts.

That will change soon. The progress of my MINI has been posted here since 11/20/05: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=55402

That would be cool, though I already know from experience my MINI looks terrible next to StoopidGirl's - they clash!!! TFQON's might not be quite as bad, as the pink is a much closer match.

here is a perfect example of keeping PINK as an accent color. A little pink goes a long way .



PS - anyone got photoshop and care to graph the two together - lol

I was seriously going to but I'm going to be in Europe this summer. Visiting Plant Oxford in May and going to the MINI2 Charity Ball.

Also, guess what's in June? MINI UNITED, baby!! See you there (if you're going!!).

I'm making the Dragon a serious priority for next year, and if there's a second MTTS, then I'll be there too
