Nope lol, I can't get my car up the ramps or over the speedbumps. I try to avoid the garage as much as possible.

It's a cool spot for photos tho, I shot this car there once:

^^Yup lol

Its hilarious to watch me try and get up the ramps. I always get stuck at the top at a crazy angle, hanging out the window trying to see how much space I have before I hit the pavement, blocking all the other traffic and generally pissing everybody off.

Its all part of the fun tho

Ahh the perks of lowering your car too far, you get to meet tons of new people(even if they are just there to pull you off the speedbump)

Nice pics, good looking MINI, and nice agressive looking tires. Nice thing about shooting in garages is your not distracted by the scenery and don't have to worry about the weather.

FL Blu, great pics! i have an Indy Blue MCS also, even with the clear tail lights, the only difference is that i'm running a set of R90's. i have a question for you tho, i'm using red bulbs for running/stop lights. do your top set of bulbs turn on at all? i'm using yellow bulbs for turn signals and those work just fine. am i missing something here? also, when the car is turned off, i'll step on the brakes but the rear stop lights don't come on, they come on only when the car is on. please help.

Thank you! Those tires are 10k mile worn already too! The garage also has pretty good lighting. Maybe not consistent color, but you can move the car for the effect you are trying to achieve.

Im jealous of your r90's. I have the top set wired into the bottom set to turn on with braking not just running. The kit is available from some of the vendors. My tails have the silver-stars in them. they look white when off but light up the correct color. The lights not coming on with the car off is correct operation. mine are the same.
