patina?

Matt

 

No, it's called Easy Rust Metal Finish..

very rare

 

Yes indeed and I think the owner is saying that classic phrase to explain it all... "Hey, I'm workin on it."

 

u kno this turned out to be a pretty funny thread.
i just had a thought. for halloween we should all follow through with
all this talk of moose antlers and ox horns and go nuts with our
minis. i think i mite just go simple and put a giant white sheet over
mine and cut out holes for the head lamps.
and the day after, someone can start a thread and post pics.

 

I love that idea! If only I had an orange mini it would be the perfect pumpkin! I think I might try to make Milly look like a skull or something, seeing's as she's already pepper white!

 

That's a really good idea. I plan on driving around with a white sheet over my mini a lot, once I get the confederate flag put on of course. We should have a meetup some night.

you do know of course there's a line

i have seen around Christmastime a few MINIs sporting reindeer antlers on the windows and a rudolph nose on the grille... it looks good, from a distance

 

That halloween thing sounds fun!!! I may just have to buy a rudolph nose for Coop!!

 

I wanted to get a big cardboard box for mine to dress it up as a Scion xB

 

If it wasn't so ugly (sorry ), it could be great cause people would give more "respect" on the road (and won't cut your way for example)!

 

points for creativity...
don't forget to get foam board and make toast coming up outta the top!

 

Yes. I heard on Antiques Roadshow that the value of items go way up if one does not remove the patina.

I'm sure that is what the Bug's owner is keeping in mind.

 

And the duct tape looks vintage -- a handyman's best friend!

 

This is the most asinine thing I've ever read. Unwritten code... ethics, Jesus really? This guy went out, earned some cash and bought the car he wanted to buy he can do anything he wants to it. If he wants to park it out on his front yard and shoot it up with a .22 that's entirely within his rights.

Man when I read "I'm concerned with this new breed of MINI owners", I pictured you reading the original post being simply aghast at what had been typed and dropped your monocle into your Hors d'age brandy.

Seriously really asinine.

Im highly concerned with this new breed of MINI owner. This kinda of talk is absurd. Yes WE have the right to adorn our cars however, but there is UNWRITTEN CODE and ETHICS of things okay to add. The concept is nothing less than immoral and CRASS its simply disgusting


Wow, we cannot have fun anymore.

 

wow, nobody appreciates good sarcasm anymore...

i read matty125's post as pure sarcasm

 

I kind of thought it was sarcastic too at first, till you read the two or so after wards.

Besides sarcasm isn't all that great it's the lowest form of wit.

 

nice Oscar Wilde reference there
