Welcome Baby Cecilia!

Hey all, I guess I can now officially post in this forum! I just got a Cabrio on Sat 6/9 (just in time for the Guinness event!)
Meet Cecilia- patron saint of LOUD music..I mean of musicians!

So here she is, Silver/Black, with Premium Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, Sport Pkg, Black Panthar Leather, and Nav.

And I got the first (of many) burns (through spf 50!) I will have to remember to reapply sunblock sooner

This is me at the Guinness World Record car #10!!!

This is a pic of my Shiba Inu Kodie as my co-pilot

We are working on a new signature as I type!

So, you going to mod it out like Soulfire? Or you going to run it (almost) stock (since you already did the beltline)?

Not quite as much as Jay's but a pulley, intake, exhaust, LDG flash, under strut system, strut tower plates, rear sway, maybe new brakes (down the line) so not as much as SF, but enough!

So you'll still have plenty of VROOM under the bonnet!

Where is the cabrio? All I can see in the first pic is that BIG smile on your face, so I know you must be driving a Mini Cabrio.

Congrats...

Your's looks great too! And since we all know that there aren't two MINIs that are alike, I can promise Cecilia won't step on any shoes!

Mighty fine ride! May I suggest that you buy new sunscreen on a regular basis? I used some stuff we had around for a while (it used to work great), and I was turned into lobster man after a day of motoring.... I was told that sunscreen loses its effectiveness with time. Nothing scientific, just what "they" say.

Believe me it is TRUE! I burn through it anyway, but having older is worse. I buy new stuff every 6 months or so. But I never let it get older than a year, used a little or a lot, I throw it out. And I have a feeling that I will be going through a lot I am sure!

Thanks Mike! Sweet! I am glad that you will be coming our way again in October. We will need to get on the phone and do some brain storming before then. I know I will be doing something cool. Can't not, being Soulfire's little sister!
Thanks, Kodie really is a cutie

I am bringing this back around because I didn't want to start a new thread, but I wanted to announce my NEW Cecilia! She has been through some MAJOR cosmetic surgery and I must say, although she is recovering well (still has bubbles...stuff has to dry you know!!) she is looking HOT HOT HOT! Of course I am rather biased. But I wanted to let you all see, since I have been patiently awaiting this... This is the brain child of my CRAZY ideas and Mike (Aesthetic Creations) wonderful artwork in a one-off custom Spaced Pin Bonnet Stripe/Flame in color changing vinyl.
And not only that, but Carlos (Solor Solutions) has done a Fantastic job in tinting my windows to a VERY nice shade for me!
