Tygo's time to MINI!!!

after a very long 3 month wait, Its finally here! Put about 600km on it yesterday on the drive home, was nice to get a good portion of the break in period out of the way. It is a fantastic ride, worth the wait, and there isn't a single option I put on it that I would have changed. No regrets about the choices, I definetly nailed it (in my opinion!) I hope this is changes the minds of anyone considering NOT getting the anthracite roof liner with the redwood red interior. If you get Redwood red, GET THE ANTHRACITE HEADLINER!

BTW, how did that passenger side floor mat get so dirty already ? Was your first passenger kicking and screaming to get out of the car ?

Nope... even guessing where the line of the film should be, can't see it.

I bet even in person it's hard to see. Probably have to be within 10 feet of the car and be looking pretty hard for it.

Enjoy your MINI !

Very nice, great pictures.

I cannot see your stone guard in the pictures, did you do a full guard or 1/2 the bonnet?

Since your DS top to bottom, the interior is a very nice contrast, looks great.

Saskatchewan is a pretty unmistakeable province, where else would you get a newspaper called 'The Howler'

... wait, do you think that Corner Gas is a documentary? Dog River is fictional... I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you.

Tell me at least Woolerton is real. I'm a little hurt to find out Dog River wasn't real, I was going to move there, for some reason all the women are available.

Beautiful car, I have never liked red interiors, but your car has become my exception to the rule.
