Very sweet!

IB is still the nicest blue ever produced by MINI. Hyper Blue is nice but not the same.

The car is sweet love the blue.

How do you like the bike rack and how hard is it to get the bike up there?

Thanks

Actually it's right on Las Virgenes - but I must confess that I erased a telephone pole in the background.

As far as the bike rack is concerned... I've not put a bike up there yet.
It was the reason my wife HAD to have this car... but with a new baby and all, she's not had the time to ride. I keep reminding her on the weekend that we should try out the rack but before you know it, it's Monday again.

That almost looks like a toy car with that focus. I like!

Very Nice!

I love my bluebonnet! She's mostly called Justa, but when she's cleaned up and all new looking we breakout her nickname!

They are chrome bumper plugs - I'm obviously in Cali but I refuse to run a front plate on any of my cars but the holes were already there... I've been meaning to spray them indi blue- just haven't gottn around to it.

Thanks. I probably would have edited out the phonelines too, but otherwise I prefer the unblurred version. You have a nice MINI to photograph. :smile:

Great picture Matt! I wish IB was not discontinued, as that would've been my first choice.

Same here. Got my 2004 MC in March 2004 before they discontinued the color (and Profile leather, and 8-Spoke wheels, and 2-Spoke steering wheel, and middle white reversing light, and...)
