I actually agree. I was going to use the NAM app to upload the images directly, but it wouldn't work (has been kinda iffy lately), so Flickr was my workaround. I have gone back to the post and edited it so the images are inline, no click needed!

Surely there is a chain smoker someplace right around your MINI

I believe it came from the ADV motorcycle forum in a game similar to this, someone was chasing a tag posted up theirs and found out a person named Bruce had posted before them. They declared I have been BRUCED. The term stuck and it is widely understand in the motorcycle community now

There is another term called farkling, That is when you add gadgets and extend the functionality of your motorcycle. Things could include GPS, radio, outlets for plugging in heated gear, etc etc. Farkling does NOT include additional chrome items.

A similar thing in the MINI world would be when an owner adds external fog or running lights.

ADVrider, anyway. It's new to me; I've mostly socialized in the DoD circles, particularly NEDOD. I like it; a good game.

I love me some farkles. My Ducati is equipped with GPS, Autocom helmet intercoms and music via iPod, Bluetooth for my phone, heated grips, heated coat and gloves, Laminar Lip to smooth Ducati's idiot windscreen design, voltage monitor, and of course the very important Valentine One. Never bothered with radio though; my long rides tend to be solitary. But geeky.

I do have carbon fiber front and rear fenders, but on a portly 500lb sport tourer they count as bling, not function.

By comparison my MINI is conservative. Has the MINI garmin GPS kit, hardwired V1, that's about it! So far…

Are you possibly referring to my Smoke Stack may look fake. When I got home I saw that too and took a hard look at it. The white line on the left has something to do with the cells on the smokestack.

Heres a google link to prove the smokestack exist in Uxbridge MA

http://goo.gl/maps/6XkoU

Heres just about where it was taken http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernat_Mill you can see the smoke stack in some of these pictures


So jump back in, this is the MINI reality series

OH NO I wasn't suggesting that at all! honestly, I didn't even notice that.

I was just making a joke about "extra points" since there are no points in tag [however, that could be an interesting idea] by referencing the motto from the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway" "the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter"

needed a day to recover after driving around a cemetery at night looking for funny head stones but I'll be back on the chase this afternoon ...

I prefer to imagine Brucing relates to Bruce Campbell.

As far as your photos go, do interior photos count as long as it's your car?

According to our official rule book, I'd say: why not?!

agree/disagree/thoughts?

HOWEVER, if you've got a selfy of yourself in your car with the theme I'd say that's worth some bonus points
