Crap under my bonnet!!

I was very pleased when I opened my MINI's bonnet for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and found all kinds of crap in there!!

I hope that's enough to qualify me for Team Craptastic! I can't wait until break-in ends so I can really air this crap out! Here's another pic of my baby:




Now I just need to work on my sig .

How can I not flaunt it?! It's our dream car, and we've worked (actually still working) hard for it! I plan to flaunt it over many thousands of kilometers!

The English Leather? Looks like crap, smells like crap, even if it's not official crap.

Hey Aminiman, Very, very cool crap! Now I know what to expect when mine gets here.

My new crapmobile, w/Eng. leather, too, might arrive to the dealership this weekend. All I need to do is wait for them to flush it out.

Hmmm, I only see one piece of crap in those photos. You need to go to the thread discussing quality parts
