Nice and aggressive looking if a bit on the gaudy side for my admittedly old man taste. That said, curious about those fender flare covers - they appear to sit apart from the fenders, as if they would flop in the breeze as the car was driven. Am I missing something, or is the car missing something - like some screws to attach them properly?

This reminds me of the guy that goes into the Cathedral and after a few minutes enters into the confessional ... Bless me Father for I ... I'm dating a supermodel, she is incredible and insatiable, it is the greatest ... the Priest interrupts and says, Are you sure you want to tell me this? He responds with Yes, I not even Catholic, I'm telling everyone.

I was on the waitlist at four dealerships for one, but because it is unavailable with the standard six speed I gave up my spots.


The Fender Aero Flares are much smaller on the production car than on the prototype, this are very tame.

Don't get me wrong, It is one of the most beautiful MINIs made to date.

Motor On!

IMHO, the new GP3 is reminiscent of the Ford RS Turbo (if anyone around here is old enough to remember it)
