His name is Winston. It's the first car she's paying for with her own money.

CR/B 2008 MINI Cooper S

Here's a couple of of pics of Winston and my Charger getting to know each other

purty boy. I really liked red, but my last two cars were red and white, so I went with a daring color. I still love the red/black.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone! She absolutely loves it. I tell you though that MINI is gonna make me spend money on suspension upgrades for my Charger.

SAV? Do you mean SUV? Not sure whose car your talking about but I think both of them could stand to be dropped a little. Unfortunately, she's not into modding... yet.

I've been debating on trying to convince her to black out the grill trim. It will will look good considering her color scheme. But then I'll want to start black out the rest of the chrome trim

She's definitely gonna get it tinted, I need to get mine tinted too. I think she's gonna follow my lead on that one and wait for me to find a good shop around here.

They could be half-brothers.....but you can't miss the anglo-saxon heritage of the MINI

I think the options should include All Black or All Chrome.
