It's almost Thanksgiving and then soon Christmas. With that in mind, what is on your Christmas List that is MINI related?


* DiD Christmas List *

- A helmet for next season's autocross
- A Bel v940 radar detector and a mouse pad
- A Nikon 2X telephoto lens to take more pictures of MINIs. :smile:

Dave, sure you don't want a V1 instead of that Bell?

My Christmas wish list is to find 2 more 17" S-lites and a set of stock rear brake lights from someone who has upgraded and does not need them anymore.

If I had those 2 things, then my Christmas wish of having everything I need to build my custom MINI-style camping trailer would come true.

Oh, Santa, I've been ever so good this year. . . .

Hey YuccaPatrol...

There is a set of MCS taillights listed for sale on eBay if you're interested. So far there are no bids and the starting price is $20. You can see them here.

Can't wait to see pics of your trailer!

Yucka, I may be able to help you out. I should be getting my MINI by mid-December. I already bought the clear tail lamp kit and want to get them installed ASAP.

<EDIT> Ooops, I forgot to add my list:

1 Silk Green Cooper (please Santa, get her here before XMAS)

When I pick up my MCS in a week or 2, I might just have to drive on up to Canada and Alaska and let the world be my MINI snow globe! :smile:

I always find cool gearhead gifts at Griot's Garage. I also just bought Ian Falloon's book on restoring two-valve Ducatis from Motorbooks.com for about $9. Great stuff there as well.

Happy holidays all. Off on our MINI trip in the moanin'!
