hafid, your car looks great as always!!! If possible, could you email me the full-size version of the 2nd to last pic so that I may use it for desktop wallpaper. Send to ZAMIRZ@sbcglobal.net

thanks,

amir

 

sweet pics. one of these days i'll have to come on a run with you guys considering i'm in phoenix too. my indy blue mini will add to the range of colors

 

Great pics. Too bad the weather sucks in AZ

Whoever has the BRG/W I want pics! Mine comes in May.

 

This is my favorite pic of the bunch. It would be even better if that trash can weren't there. I hate it when that happens.

 

very nice!

now i miss the west........

i hear another road trip coming on....

 

>>It would be even better if that trash can weren't there.

What trash can?

:smile:

 

thanks for the comments folks!

zamirz - here's the link to the full size pic you want: http://www.acurainspired.com/gallery...013_p25497.jpg

early apex - nice tranformation there! hehe....

elenex - yes! we do a run almost monthly! PM me and i'll let you know where you can find out info.

DID- yes, annoying trash can! the real reason i went b/w on that pic - the trash can is red and stuck out horribly. it would be interesting to keep the car in color and the surrounding b/w in that pic i think. i sat there for 6 mins before i could take a pic where there was no cars going by...

these roads were just amazing...smooth, clean, and very nice to play around on!

Agocart, I hear what your saying. A trip to the west is in order.

 

damn you and your blue skies! :smile:

 

More amazing pictures!!! I'll have to make sure Nittany doesn't see these. She'll be very upset that she's stuck with a photographically challenged driver.

 

Wow! Great shots!!

Seriously Haf, couldn't you move that trashcan ?

 

Hafid:

Looks like you had a perfect day for that run. I will make the next one for sure. Got my car Friday and had to pick up my wife at Sky Harbor Sunday. Have had a blast since getting the car. Put the Borla, and CAI on today and doing the pulley and ECU on Wednesday.

Still scrapping over wheels and tires. There are a ton of choices out there so I will just have to bite the bullet and jump in. I hate indecision. Especially mine!!!!

There is going to be a Mini North Scottsdale event on the 10th of April. Haven't heard any "real" details yet but will pass the word when I hear.

Cheers.
Kelly

For other readers, I took Kelly for a drive in my car last week so he could see what mods will do to your car....and above is the end result. All MINI owners should strive to be like this man! Welcome to NAM kelly!

We'll seeing you on the next run Kelly!

Sambusik! Those things aren't exactly light! Of course, I didn't try to find out either.

Jerseygirl - thank you for your comments......and you'd be surprised what a good location could do to your pictures!

 

Hey haf, what highways did you guys hit up?
Not too familiar with the state and would love to check out the route on a map.

thx.

pretty easy route really......round trip for me was 270 or so miles....the others had a much longer route (but I had to leave early). bascially on 60 east to globe. continue on the 60 north to showlow. i took those pics at the canyon at salt river.

the others kept on going up to showlow...then over to payson on the 260 and back to scottsdale on the 87. that is an absolutely gorgeous route filled with fun and fast twisties.

when you've got a free weekend, gimme a call and we'll head out one morning.....preferably before it gets too hot :smile:

 

Chow!

Donna

 

Always a treat to look at your pics, hafid! My last 3 desktop backgrounds have been one of your pics

Wow! That's a compliment! Thanks Yucca!

 

Hafid. Sorry, I missed yet another run with you guys. The pictures are amazing! I see at least a couple that are ready for the 2005 Calendar. Talk to you soon.

Those skies are EB! Gotta love it! hafid, great pics (as usual ) -- make me yearn for a trip out west with my MINI (once it arrives)!

 

Hafid, I hope you dont mind that I used one of your pictures as my desktop. :smile: I ordered an Electric Blue S, but I dont think those mountains are gonna come it it!

 

bigpmj - no problem! which one?

mini_dreamer! yay! congrats! it's a hot color - you'll love it
