I took the Mini to the Beach today

I heard the waves were 4 to 6 feet today, so I decided to clean the dust off my surf board. I was able to get some nice pics of the Mini while down there. The Beach is like Xanax to me.

AXO, Good looking car and great looking beach. We know about beaches in Hawaii and great to see our Coast Guard keeping us safe. Hope the storm bypasses you guys.

FYI, personal experience says don't drive a MINI on a beach. Did that in Hawaii and almost got stuck. I haven't made it out to the beach yet but that is on my list of things to do. Nice photos though.

What is that on the front bumper?

Hi AXO, great pics.

Is that a red clevis on your front bumper? What it is mounted to looks a little light, how well does it work for you?

Car looks good. Id be scared the tow hook would get jacked. I always think the worst lol. Hope you loctite'd it.
Funny but I noticed the white vw tiguan parked behind you, I traded that for the mini. Best decision ever.
OP: Ever think of blacking out the chrome peices?

The storm had mercy on Florida and brought nice waves and dry weather after it past. I learned as a kid not to drive on the beach, except in Daytona. As far as the tow hook, it is loctited. I was pretty wiped after that day, I am getting old!
