I think everybody is out rubbing, riding or racing their MINI's. I just got back from getting my summer Kuhmo's mounted. Great shoes you got.

Black wheels look good on red cars.

Wow. One of THE sexiest R56's I've EVER seen. Truly. And I absolutely HATE red. But yours is very nice. Very classy, bud.

I'm wanting to get the same type of decal done to my R53. Can't imagine it's all that difficult to do myself.

Oh! And your pic reminded me! I forgot to order my ALTA decals with my pulley oh-so-long ago! DANGIT!

Very nice! Car looks fantastic and the way "show" should be done (i.e., still tasteful, and definitely coordinated throughout). Also, uRabbit that is no R56.

Cause to me, speed is more important. Plus, I wouldn't be able to drive around this town with a body kit.
