We got hit pretty hard here in Pittsburgh, not as badly as further east, but still about two feet. Blowing and drifting too, as you can see from the front of my house...










Post pics, those of you further east, especially if you dare to take your MINIs out in this mess!

it looks like an intake scoop thingy in front of the gas cap, but i think that's just reflections off the walls

Yes, the intake scoop infront of the gas cap......it is not a reflection.

Is that the ground effects package?

Yeah, that's just a trick of the light, reflection of the walls.

Mark is actually involved with a super-secret MINI racing team. They've taken out the backseat and all the stuff in the bonnet and put in a mid-ship V6 with roughly 300 horsepower going to the rear wheels, a la Renault Clio V6... he will be severely punished for letting those pictures get out to the public...


</making trouble>

Mark, clearly you were not paying attention. Mini-Rolls says it is NOT a reflection. We demand that you fess up.


It's about an inch an hour up here in N. Central MA...fortunately, my car's safe in the garage too.

Ok so it is a reflection...looks like you added aftermarket rear fenders with scoops. That would be a pretty cool add on.

You better remember where you parked, because you won't be able to see one bit of your car within a few hours.

You folks are really getting smacked

Hey, I wish she didn't have to sit out there, but until we build our driveway in the spring unfortunately she will have to sit on the street in the elements.

After the driveway I will invest in a car cover..

We did get some snow eventually here in Gloucester ... The wind & weather however decided that my MINI did not need any - when I got out this morning the car had less than an inch at most. Of course there was some driveway clearing needed!

And my wifes car was not spared from being covered:
