Show us your best parking job.

Just as fun, show us the coolest, most ingenious parking you've done in your MINI or Mini...

Just a few from myself:







Now I'm gonna go try that with 2 MINIs in the garage! lol.

Take care,
Leo.

Hey man, thanks! I still have one (ok, two) more things left on the "looks" department, but a bunch of goodies await me on performance...

Talking to my guy right now for a cylinder head, then exhaust headers, ECU chip, possibly a throttle body (but I'm talking myself out of that one) and to top it off, a heavy foot! lol.

Looks-wise, just want the new angel eyes they got out there (already ordered!) and if everything works out great, the NKB Power front splitter... :drool:

Thanks again for the kind words, though!
Leo.

Then after all those mods, you will still be 30 hp down on any stock "S" :impatient

J/K, 13 I love those rims every time I see them. They are my favorite rims out there right now. Are they 17"?

either this one:

or this


the first one had a much higher level of difficulty as there was a bunch of games and activities at right at the end of the line of cars.
