there's a 10 mile stretch of long winding hilly country road to work, I work pm's and for mini owners the roads description is an invitation, I don't want to hit a deer or any animals so I equipped my mini with 4 extra driving lights so I can see the road way far ahead and hit 50mph on a 25 mile bend.

Quite the rush, eh? My commute is similar, take 35mph suggestion at 60

Mini owners are almost always tempted when we see a bend, right? I go on the posted speed limit almost everytime, but it's always the thought that "I know I can" when we see the bend. It's smart to do mini "fun" on a real track.

Ever done a run with a Mini Club? Tempted? After you know what your Mini can do, it simply becomes instinctive to "Bend The Rules, Rule The Bends"...

The big ones have are Hella 700FF with 110w PIAA super white bulbs (used on country roads), the lower ones are Hella 550 Black magic with PIAA super whites. The mounts are custom. I just tapped it on the battery using inline fuses. At the back theres 2 PIAA rear foglights too.Show us your pictures of your R55 (Clubman) here-2011-09-11_00-43-07_340.jpg

it's the factory basket, not the box. it's nicely built and what i feel to be a pretty good size, but i only got it because i bought the crossbars 2nd hand and the guy was selling it as a bundle.
