I decided that the stock antenna was too long so I went out and bought the MINI direct replacement stubby...






PS. how do I shrink images hosted by Photbucket?

 

You bought all that car and a stubby antenna is the best you can do?

 

The easiest way is to shrink them in Photobucket. You can either do it for each photo individually or change the setting for how the pictures are uploaded.

 

 

LMAO !!!!!! What A Waste

 

Give him a break. It's his first mod, and probably the first of many.

And how many of us got a stubby antenna as our first mod, raise your hand...

:hand up:

 

there more to come...ixt addictive

 

hey, I threw a stubby on! I even had mine custom engraved... ha. dork!

TRDL = Third Rail Design Lab - my comics and illustration entity. Sold a few of these!

 

I want a longer antenna!

Dang! Way to make someone feel good and welcome. Sounds like there was a soup kitchen serving up big bowls of snarky soup. I give a big to the stubby...IMHO it makes the MINI look a little less RC Racer.

 

Stubby antenna was my first mod, too.

 

Okay, this is my first mod of several more thoughtful ones to come.

To those that recognized that, thank-you. To the others, go have a second helping of "snarky soup".

Dave, sell you a barely used stock one??!!??

TRDL, the laser-etcher at work is 2 weeks backlogged so no marking for me (since I am the support engineer I do have my ways to sneak in but this would be a bad time).

Anyhow... all good, much love, later!

 

is there any reception difference between the stubby n oem one?

 

Some of the smaller Toronto stations get fuzzy at times but overall, no.

 

No, but the songs are shorter.

Hey Great car...I love the Laurel edition!

Don't worry about the nay-sayers. I haven't even gotten to the point of beginning the mod journey so you're already ahead of me. I like the stubby antenna, but always worry about reception issues.

What area of toronto are you in?

 

 

Oooo another laurel ... helllloooo

 

@NJ MINI, I'm in rural Buffalo, NY

@Bigprfed22, hello back

 

I don't understand all these people who want stubby antennae.
I've been looking for a red/orange go-kart flag to stick on the end of my stock antenna.

 

I'll sell you a stock antenna you can mod to a flag...

 

I think the stock antennae is too short! I want one that is long enough that I can bend it and attach the end to the front bumper!

Dave

 

You need a CB radio

 

Stubby antenna and M7 strut tower brace were my first 2 mods. Look how far I have come...see sig. @TheBigNewt... I have quite a few more mods than you... is that the best you could do??

 

how is that craven well cover, anyway?
