Sweet. And I see you already have your assprint in the leather. Well done.

Lovin the piano black with color line interior. And you got the OEM driving lights... very nice choice.

You obviously aren't old enough to remember the Avengers.

This is Emma Peel:

Thanks... I actually have a few more but need to charge the batteries and put in fresh gas for the summer so I can move them for pictures....

Gotta say I love the mini also... my only issues are that I've owned her less than 24 hours and have set off the alarm twice trying to open the boot with the remote. I was warned that it's more of an art than a science using the boot key. Maybe I'll learn my lesson and keep the remote in my pocket and just use the buttons on the outside of the car.

Cheers,
Corey

The spoiler makes me think it's probably a 924S(?). I was a very happy owner of a 924S during the late 80s and early 90s. Only the arrival of children made me give it up; and I still occasionally ponder whether I could have found a way to store it and still have it today. Nonetheless, I revel in seeing other people driving theirs, though there are, in day to day experience, very few left. And a Mini, as well. Congratulations!

I'm sure yours didn't look like this underneath the bonnet



Sorry for the dirty engine compartment... Yes those are dual downdraft carbs....

I've owned this car on and off since I've been driving. My best friend and I seem to pass the 924 back and forth. When I sold my 930 RUF slantnose (my 1st new car) I got her back.... He'll get her back when my panamerica comes sometime in 2010.
