I felt bad for my poor wife, having to drive around in her mini (van) while I drive in mine (MCS Chili Red and White). So when I ordered some John Cooper autograph decals I put the small ones on my car, one on the lower edge of the right bonnet stripe, one on the boot just below the name badge, I put the larger ones on the side of her Caravan. Adds at least 15 hp to that Chrysler four banger, and you should feel how it handles!

Oh you're wise! That dreaded exchange happens all too often. I look out the window of my office and where the red and white once sat there sits the ugly silver Caravan!

I did get a second one, but my son-in-law to be (who works for me) drives it for the business. So here I sit, owning two '04 cooper s's and driving a Caravan!

I like your style minilites! I gave him the car with selfish motives though. It has advertising on it for my TV show. He works for me as associate producer. It's cool when we drive around together, two MCS's with the show logo on the side -- brings some stares!

I'm not crazy about the look. I'm real fond of the roof line, it's part of what makes the MCS look so aggressive. And it's those John Cooper autograph stickers that make my four cylinder Caravan look like a street monster! :evil:
