Welcome...

Absolutely great, I needed to see your pictures today, warms my heart.

Is the Sidewalk your daily driver or weekend and evening MINI?

Timeless and classic

It will be a sad day when the last R53 Cabrio rolls off the assembly line. That will close the book on the first gen. modern MINI Cooper.

Your mini is so sweet! I am biased a bit, I guess. My sidewalk is a bit cold here - 13 degrees right now in Pittsburgh. I am so jealous, top down motoring all the time must be great.

Wow. I love the wheels! Beautiful ride. I can't tell if you have it, but I love the chono pack on the convertible. I almost went with a soft-top just for the chrono pack, pity you can't order it on a hard top.

I didn't think I could be jealous of another MINI. . . but I think I am.

Awesome ride Shane, I love the color combo with the Sidewalk!

This car is my girlfriends car so she loves all the complements! We have had a ton of fun with it so far! Question has anyone have the invisible bra on the front? The sell it at the dealership but they will not install it there, plus the parts guy was trying to talk us out of it.

To me installing a clearbra is essential protection against damage to your paint. Before my car was delivered, I had an appointment to get one installed. I installed 18" on her bonnet, the entire front bumper, headlights, mirrors, door handles and a piece in front of the rear tires.

I paid $600 which also included full window tint. My dealer wanted $800 for just the bonnet. All this was done in my garage, though a lot places will do it while your at work.

I used 3M because I've had good experience with it on previous cars. You can go on their website and find out more information and search for local installers.
