This is mine.

At the Quarter Mile Track here in Iceland.
I'm in the car reaching for hood opener handle.

That is the reason for the gap between hood and front bumper

Just a shameless bump for Electric Blue!!!

It's been a while since I posted in this thread.

Since then, I added the Palo Uber scoop to my car. Here's a photo of my car taken at a rest stop, (known as Area 51), on the way to MINI's On Top last year.

Is your MINI US spec? Interesting that you have the side marker lights in the wheel arches that have been exclusive to US/Canadian spec MINIs.

BTW, beautiful car and background

Electric Blue was offered in Canadian market R50 Cooper hardtops for the 2005 model year. I saw one in Vancouver, BC last time I was up there in 2005. I took a pic and probably still have it. It had a white roof. Gorgeous looking car.

Any Canuck friends that happen to own a R50 Electric Blue Cooper? Pics please!

Since I only just bought it yesterday, right before it got dark, I have limited photos. Heres the best shot of it with the least amount of me in it and the most mini!
