Finally some Decent Photos Of My MINI!

I've had it a year now and this is the first time I had a clean car and camera at the same time!

Yea what kind and size wheels are those?? I find it kinda interesting that in certain light Chili Red almost seems a bit red-orangish.

Very Nice

Nice!

I'm a bit partial to your selections. I like the boot stripes.

They are the Ro_Ja LTs. I love them - they are made in the USA and only weigh 14 pounds!

M7 springs with stock struts and Steve's Auto Clinic control arms. I haven't messed with the sway bars - they are the MINI sport suspension type that came with the car.

Thanks for all the comments.

I have the black leather but it looks green in the photo.

The front yard is part of an estate I was appraising in Villa Park - the owner was late getting there so I snapped a few photos of my car while I was waiting. I wish I could afford that house but I am a little short - they have invested 1.5 million on the landscaping and hardscaping alone!

The wheels are 17 x 7

I used to drive a classic Mini (made by BMC), which had a plate that read:
B4 BMW
