New Pics of My Pride and Joy.

Since I know how much everyone likes to look at pics (including myself), I just took these today. Only been a day since I put the stripes and the numbers on and they sure are attention getters. Had at least a dozen people wave at me and compliment the car while motoring around town today.

So here you go, some pictures from diffirent angles:






The little woman just could not avoid being in the shot.


This was accidental, but I like it.




A shot of the interior.


And a shot from behind.




The matching yellow glove box organizer.


And here is my better half making sure I don't get any ideas about driving out of turn. I think it's time to get a second mini...

And both of them thank you for the kind words. :smile:

As far as making a movie out of the contents of my glove box... I am game, but you will have to talk to my manager. Also know as the better half, wife, ball and chain, designated driver, wallet inspector, etc.

LOL! you may have neglected to mention My Spouse's unofficial title, which is "Madame Treasurer"... As for the blockbuster flick, We have like 361 days 'til the 2006 Oscars.


Motor On, and may less work be required of you than me,

Thank you. The shot was taken on Mulholland drive about 2 mile west of 405. Dumb is me, I never looked at the name of the cross street.

Never mind that. I just looked through other pictures. It's at 16900 Mulholland Dr. Corner of Encino Hills Dr.

Oscars? How about AVA's. Just think about it. Next Vegas trip could be combined with the AVA's. Would that not be the perfect venue to premiere a movie of such high quality and value?

oh-shyte, now i gotta MOVE?

Chicago has been so berry berry good to me, too <pout> ... I understand (no hi-jack intended) that for future shows, the technology show (CES?) will be re-united with the adult film awards (makes sense i guess, but then I'm a cheapskate... errr, i mean i'm frugal).

My MINI sure sure does emanate "auto-eroticism" and I don't mean leaking fluids...

My guardian angel (nun) would flip if she thought I planned to race,

Is that a commentary on your driving, or your angel(nun)'s desire to do some motoring herself?

To SNDWAVE: Thanks.

To Donna/Mike: Thank you. And we've been looking forward to meeting other Miniacs. Just doesn't seem to be anything going on around our parts lately. Not counting the Vegas thing, which unfortunately we were not able to attend.

I recognise the stripes from Mighty Stripes... Did you get the numbers from them also?

Sure did. And judging by the reaction of people on the street and those who know my car, everybody loves the new look.
