Full day's detailing

I did a full "Detailing" today on my car in our new house (hence the one in the background in the second picture) in a nice air conditioned garage it felt good to be out of the heat and in there plus I have shelves and cabinets to put all my detailing stuff. Plus one more request can anyone post pictures of thier BRG Mini's????

Not the best lighting, but it does look good.

I did mine recently also.

Really I want those too but I need tires badly I have stupid pirelli euorfia whatever runflats and I hate them I just want Kumho tires for $89 dollars each rather than $319 each. I've been thru two sets of those and my parents are Pissed now that I need new a new set of tires. plus in the new hood we live in the streets are like a race track and I've been hauling butt (no one lives here yet some houses are barley being built). the contracters hate me

i also have runflats and i also have someone who hates me. i was driving down the road and decided i didnt wanna be behind this guy anymore so i passed him on the right, got up on someones butt and had to slow down, dude pulled into the oncoming traffic lane and yells 'youre an idiot, ****head.' i said thanks and continued on my way. minis rock.


edit. reason he was in oncoming traffic was becuz the 2 lane road i passed him on turned into a 1 lane 1 direction road.

NICE shine, now that my car has its own home I'll try not to take it out in the rain becuase it's irritating when you spend like 9 hours cleaning your car then it gets dirty .

Wow, when we were moving in as you can tell there's a lake and a road curves around it then s-curves all private so I gunned it and did some high speed laps tires screeching away then I go home to check out the new house 5-minutes later the doorbell ring's and it's one of the builders saying I was driving like a bat out of hell and that I have a nice car

i spent saturday detailing my car as well.. unfortunately i don't have a garage and spent the day out in the sun. my car looks fantastic, but i am looking a little like a lobster.

unfortunately it rained yesterday too. no garage = detailing every weekend.

oh, and i need to take new pics, but check out the link in my signature for pictures of my brg... the best color ever!
