I put a really good dent in the cowling mesh with some snow/ice chunk laying on the highway this winter
I think I'm going to paint some teeth on there and see how it holds up next winter

Research (and folklore) has shown that polar bear teeth work best!

My very first mod was to remove that horrible MiniFini Cupholder that was either in the way of my shifting hand or in the way of my passenger’s knee. I don’t know why a fun car like the MINI even has cupholders. Don’t drink and drive!

My second mod was to replace the plain jane valve stem caps with ones with a red “S” - - and this gave me an immediate 5 hp increase!

My third mod was to replace my Chili Red grill bars with Jet Black bars - another 5 hp increase!

I love my big-*** cupholder!! Love it, love it, love it. One of my favorite accessories. And I became even more thrilled with it the day I discovered you can fit a bottle of wine in there! There is nothing that baby can't hold.
