Pictures of my 08 DS/B MCS

3 weeks old and I finally got some good pics of her!

I posted it up on some of my old domestic boards telling them i had sold my Trans Am. Of course, I was ready, put on my flame suit.

I knew i'd get some love from my fellow Mini owners

She got super pampered yesterday, finished with a layer of carnuba!
It's nice having a roommate that details and a boyfriend who takes awesome pics!!

How do you find the xenons, do you ever use the rear fogs?

Egan- I dont have a full res version ready right now, but when i do ill shoot it your way.

NSX JR - It's the bridge from Savannah to Southcarolina.... Savannah's alright

Stan- I LOVE the Xenons! But i havent ever had or used the standard lights so i can't really compare. I haven't really used the rear fogs, but i am glad i got them. I used them once on the highway when it was heavily raining.


Thanks for all the kind comments

Wow, amazing shots
How do you like the LSD? Do you notice any torque steer?

I haven't really felt much, if any, torque steer - so i guess it works great!

That's what I was hoping to hear. Have you really gunned it coming out of a corner yet? That's when it's really supposed to shine

"na-na's" not needed, just grip it, and rip it

Hey Bandit,

Can I get the hi-res's too? I ordered my DS/B w/ HIDs last week and those shots will help me get through the, "is it here yet? is it here yet? is it here yet?" times (which is all of the time).
