Tygo's time to MINI!!!
 
after a very long 3 month wait, Its finally here! Put about 600km on it yesterday on the drive home, was nice to get a good portion of the break in period out of the way. It is a fantastic ride, worth the wait, and there isn't a single option I put on it that I would have changed. No regrets about the choices, I definetly nailed it (in my opinion!) I hope this is changes the minds of anyone considering NOT getting the anthracite roof liner with the redwood red interior. If you get Redwood red, GET THE ANTHRACITE HEADLINER!

Looks great, congrats! You must've been driving pretty fast to make the stripes blow off the hood!!! :wink:

Very nice ! And now... let the mods begin !! :thumbsup: :nod:

BTW, how did that passenger side floor mat get so dirty already ? Was your first passenger kicking and screaming to get out of the car ? :lol:

haha nice.

Also, I have the clear stone shield on the front, Can you see it?

CR&PW&JB Dec 2, 2008 09:59 AM

Nope... even guessing where the line of the film should be, can't see it.

I bet even in person it's hard to see. Probably have to be within 10 feet of the car and be looking pretty hard for it.

Enjoy your MINI !

Specs are every factory option except comfort access, nav, and automatic transmission, Anyone insterested in any specific pics please let me know, I am open to requests!

Sweet ride!!! I like that interior color.

Very nice, great pictures. :)

I cannot see your stone guard in the pictures, did you do a full guard or 1/2 the bonnet?

Since your DS top to bottom, the interior is a very nice contrast, looks great.

Thanks everyone, and the stone shield is the 1/2 bonnet!

Saskatchewan is a pretty unmistakeable province, where else would you get a newspaper called 'The Howler'

Great combo! Enjoy.

... wait, do you think that Corner Gas is a documentary? Dog River is fictional... I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you.

Congrats on your new ride brotha! Love the interior. :thumbsup:

Tell me at least Woolerton is real. :) I'm a little hurt to find out Dog River wasn't real, I was going to move there, for some reason all the women are available.

Beautiful car, I have never liked red interiors, but your car has become my exception to the rule.
