*~*frosty morning mini pics*~*

Hey guys

Had a bit of snow over here in the uk - ok about 3 snowflakes which made me go out n take some pics.

Unfortunately, i tried a few shots with the lights on hmmm not a good idea - having parked outside the entrance to a horticultural centre

Went to start the car and just a ticking noise - ooops

Battery flat as a pancake!

Decided to roll the car back slightly which without the engine running is a sodding nightmare - brakes and steering feels like a car from the Flintstones

Anyway Mini Emergency arrived and started it no probs

Sods law the pics with the lights were trash and I had to deal with the strongest sun light right behind the car which made some pics have odd blurr purply color splodges i guess bouncing from the lense or somthing??

Anyway il shut up - enjoy the pics

Hope you like

it was more of a snapshot - i somehow managed to keep some detail in the front on that pic - completely by accident as my dear friend from BMW recovery was delving into my boot fishing about with the battery

This would be interesting to do. I'll look into it. How are you for work/holidays? Are you off for a little while or working the entire time?

Where did you get the black Ses? I have white stickers on mine, which are now peeling off a little. But they are just stickers, yours look like they are rubberized and raised. I wonder if I can get that in white.

Job wise is a bit in the air at the moment as il be resigning soon yea baby - Need to look for somewhere that wants to go places

As to hols/time off - at the moment im off until 2/3 Jan so with you heading back around the 8-9th prob our best bet is this weekend but that falls around the new year

Hey its ok if we cant arrange anything this time im sure you will be around again at some point - i hear you have clocked more miles than a Virgin jet!

These are from Essential Mini - a company owned by Cooper_Si

They are very nice and the raised look is cool!

Cooper_Si can be found on this site too

Oh bugger! No probs mate. I will be back out in 2006. If you make it down before I go, let me know.

I actually flew Virgin Upper Class out here from Vegas. Fantastic fun! 175,000 miles flown this year!
