Well, I just got it on the 22nd, but before it ever got here, we had the JCW spoiler and a 19mm sway bar waiting, and yesterday we had the windows tinted.

We got it a Garmin GPS. Unfortunately it doesn't work out of the box--will have to exchange tomorrow.

My MINI and I are apart right now as I'm vacationing in Rio until the 19th. But he'll be getting some pretty sweet gifts once I get back!!! Check out my sig under 'Future'. All but the FMIC (waiting for Spring) are getting installed the week of my return. Also gonna do a very thorough detail and am contemplating an oil change (3 months and 3,000 miles).

Why, a new home! (I just picked it up on the 14th!)
It's now resting quietly in a nice, dry garage, sharing a holiday toast with my bike.

I didn't get them for Winston myself, but my Mom bought him new rubber "Cooper S" floor mats so the winter gook doesn't mess up his snazzy carpet mats!

And a continuing oil leak which is like a constant "present" for the car.

I gave "Silversmith" (Silvie for short) a bath today. After several months of crappy weather, it was nice enough to clean her up a bit. This was last week so I thought I'd get the rest of the grime off today. Sure is pretty!

I'm done modding for a while. Gonna do the exhaust and short shifter in the spring. Right now, I'm really just about enjoying the ride for a while!

Donna Quixote has been a good girl.

For Christmas, she got a new red CravenSpeed dipstick a new M7 APD, and a bottle of Black Wow to help keep her fender wells black so she should be a HAPPY lady and continue to treat me right!
