Hey great pics on this forum. I picked up my BB a month ago and had to learn to drive her. She's my first stick shift car.

Love the white strips and white roof I put on her and especially the white covers on the mirrors.

I'll have to take some pics so I can post them.

Hey, do any of you just-a-coopers want a chrome S model gas door? I'm interested in trading for a body color one.

I do!

My car is on it's way across the pond.
I'd be happy to send you my gas cover when I get the car.
I'm not sure how it would work to trade...

My baby should be landing in New York today... I can't wait! <3

The order was almost put in wrong originally and I almost got oxygen blue MINI. Blasphemous! Well, still very cute but not for me.

My one-month-old

Here's some pics of my "just-over-one-month-old" baby, taken with my iPhone, shrunk to a more managable size (the pics, not the phone or the car)

I'm picking up my car tomorrow, so I have not yet done any mods.
I don't even know if these count as mods, but I am planning to
1) do the front/rear channel swap on the speakers
2) Install JL speakers in the front (already bought the speakers)
3) replace the boots with leather ones from redline (boots in the mail)
4) replace the shift **** with a Whalen Shift Machine (check out my gallery)
