Beware when ordering a S-I-T-B. Took 9 months to complete the order before delivery. Arrived with no instructions. Then 15 years to get "it" to sort of work properly. And when "it" is working "it" sometimes makes a terrible noise. "It" usually stops working when not supervised. I've sank a ton of money just to get "it" into the shape you now see. I knew when "it" arrived I would not be ordering another one.

Gotta remember to always keep your receipt!

During our trip to Barbados we rented the Chevy version of a MOKE (not recommended for rainy days). The first place we park it we come out to find the locals have come out to say hi.
All together I counted 5 MINIs during the week. It really is the most English of the Caribbean islands!

That 'SUV' is the Darke County Parks' 12 passenger van, the Great White Whale... it's a beast!
I will ALWAYS sorely miss my R50... if I could take most of the R56 and cram it into my R50's body, it'd be perfect! Some day I'll pick up another '06 R50 as a weekend driver... but for now, this made more sense and should provide quite a few 's in the future!

Transformation of the BRG!
Well, after a trip to Columbus and Outmotoring, I gathered the required items to transform the BRG from an "off-the-lot" cooper to MY Cooper! Thanks to Aaron at Outmotoring (and MAG) for the parts required.
Here are is a BEFORE shot:
HERE is the finished Product (for tonight... a bit more later this week):
We added the JCW Grill, the checkered mirror caps and the bonnet stripes. Angie has a great eye for the stripes, as most of my stuff ends up crooked, I let her do the work As she said after the fact, Ang's Vinyl Shop is now open!
While MOST of it went without a hitch... there was one casualty.
Using the old 'standby' for removing the mirrors to install the mirror caps, the passenger side's CRACKED
I was eventually able to get it off the rest of the way to put on the new cap... but needless to say I was not happy. To make matters WORSE, upon calling dealerships to find the cost of a new mirror... I found it was $75-96 And yes, that is JUST for the little piece of glass Either way, things turned out pretty good. Even with the busted mirror, I'm still about $10 less than what MAG tried to charge me .
Next step, extend the sport stripes down the bumper!

New Grill Surround
Hey everyone! Mods look great.
I just installed the JCW grill surround last night, to get rid of the chrome, thanks to Aaron and OUTMOTORING.com
I think I'm going to keep going with the blackouts...

Clubman Detailed
I finally got around to detailing the wife's 08 Clubman S. It had a ton of contaminants on it from driving through a work zone every day for the past year. Clayed and used Zaino AIO and Z-2 Pro. Cleaned up well and is nice and shiny now.

I was in Tennessee this past week and saw some classic MINIs running around.
