Penny for your thoughts

Just posting my Cooper S on here and seeing what people think. My dad got this car back in 2002 brand new, went all the way to Florida to pick it up and is for sure the first Mini Cooper S in Texas. I owned the car for the last few years and have slowly turned it into my own. Just about 2000 miles away from the big 200k milestone, and hopefully 200k more!

Welcome to the forum! It looks pretty good for being an old fart. I definitely like the headlights.

What kind of driving lights are those (not sure if that's what they're called, but the halo ones)?

They are the turning signals. A company in Europe sells them, but it took me many months to find some here in the states on eBay. Very worth the wait!
