Yes, thanks Smokey! We had a great time playing with our MINI in your garage. Fun trading MINI toys too!

But you had best be warned: We now know the closest fully equipped MINI-friendly garage if we need to tow a MINI somewhere for repairs when we are at the dragon.

Let's see if I can list the changes on your MINI:

1) replaced factory stripes with black Cooperflags stripes
2) Black out door handles
3) Black out side vents
4) Black out scoop
5) Black gas door
6) Black boot handle
7) Black side stripes

Did I miss anything (on the outside)?

We just got back a few hours ago from the Dragon and this is the first chance I'v had to say thanks for the great food and fun time in the garage Saturday. Maybe when we get back up there in October the crew can treat the two of you to dinner or BBQ Dragon style.

Thanks again.
