My MINI got more presents than me...

Everything I got this Christmas is for my MINI

4 Rally lights, grille badges, cold air intake, glove box organizer,
and a bunch of random MINI accessories.

My MINI has found its hp increasing lately, which led me
to have this crazy dream last night that I was driving
my MINI and it kept going faster and faster until it just
uncontrollably rocketed off into the abyss. Hrm..hope
it's not some crazy premonition

What did your MINI(s) get for Christmas???

I got the glove box organizer, the console rubber organizers (the one that goes between the uprights in front of the cup holders and the one that fits between the shifter and the e-brake boot... very cool!) and a Mini coffee mug that fits the stock cupholder perfectly. Cool!

My MINI gifts came from the kids this year so nothing major (i.e. no new exhaust or BBK.) I did get a great pair of eyes (Rogue MINI brand - they look fantastic), a window sticker that reads "Stop Drooling", and the "R52 Original Motorer" badge.

I hate bragging.
Since I paid off Swifty, I ordered detector, intake, exhaust, brake disks and pads, rear sway bar, wheel/tire set, tower brace, helmet, 4 point seat belt (this really pisses me off, someone posted one for sale TWO days after I recieved mine). Next is the body shop for huge dent repair. All that's installed to date is the intake, brakes and detector. There, everybody knows.

Xmas loot 06'

Lots of cool stuff for the MINI. CF JCW Shifter, CF JCW ebrake handle, Alta v 2.0 air diverter with sprayer, towhook, oem full Chrome interior for NAV, Alta occ, Team Dynamics PR 1.2's in black (already on the car, got them a couple weeks early and couldn't wait). MINI r/c car (pretty cheap but my dad thought it was cool and actually customized it with bonnet stripes and black grill to match mine!)
As always anything Ferrari, my passion and other addiction, Anything from Maranello and F-1.
Lots of work clothes not pictured (boring).
Macbook (loaded).
New travel camera, Canon elph 6.0, 3" screen, (very cool and helps with not taking the 20D everywhere I go).

Santa came through as usual this year! My parents and my wife spoil the hell out of me.

I got my AB/AB MCSa just a couple of weeks ago, so that was my present.

My MINI got a whole bunch of Prima car detailing products, and six crazy antenna toppers.

A very good Christmas, I'd say!

All stocking stuffers for me and my mini: I got a antenna ball (yellow with smiley face to match my yellow mini.) Some of those clips that adjust your seatbelt so it doesn't rub and make your chest sore. A keychain with a yellow mini on it. These were all "from" my 11 month old grandson. I think he had help from Grand-dad.

Yah I did pretty good this year....

My pile from Santa would of looked alot better if the brand new squeaky clean TD pro race 1.2's were there too.

I must say they already look pretty damn good on the car, plus Santa probably already hade too much unsprung weight on the sleigh as it was.

I cant wait for gargage night when I get back home from Texas. Call me MarioKart we gotta kick it!
