Hey Matey, yeah had it in this morning for the IBEX stuff. What are you driving?

Doug, I forgot to answer the tint question from PHX JCW...it's 13% all around. It's an interesting tint because from some angles it looks much much lighter with visibility into the car clear and then other angles are as dark as the sea at night.

Do any of you guys go over to the get together at Gainey Village (Scottsdale/Gainey Ranch) on every 1st Saturday of the Month? It's a combination of mostly high end sport cars.

Cesar and Cory, I never make it over to the Pavilions or Gainey Ranch. Neither is really my scene and both are a haul from where I love.

Matey, have you thought about blacking out the trim on yours or do you prefer the chrome? I'd love to see yours with black trim.

Nbo, thanks for the comment.

Spring will bring lowering springs and a powder coating of the wheels black.

first of all i must say your car is beautiful. I have a 2011 Black Mini S and i have falled in love with the color. I have the matching black wheels which makes it look mean so if you can get yourself a set or paint yours, it will be worth it!

Secondly i have to ask this and i really really hope i dont sound like a noob but i notice in the picture you have of the back of your car the vents below the tail lights. Can you tell me how you have those on their? are they a stock option or something for the 2012's? Maybe its a body kit? I really want them on my car.....i think it adds a little extra spice to the look.

Otherwise good luck with it, your car is def a beauty

Darth, the "vents" are a part of the rear bumper on the JCW body kit. You can get it from the dealer. The kit includes the front and rear bumper plus side skirts.

Crush, I love Oscar. Was he at the Dragon in 06 or 07?

Thanks... but no, Oscar is an ’09 and though he has been to the Dragon many times, he’s only been there last year anything to do with minis.

Every year I say I’m going but it always falls on the same date as my track day at Roebling Road. This last year, I made sure I attended and had a blast. I’ll definitely be going next year.

Cya then...

That looks great

Glad to see you will be back for the 7th Anual BrewSwap.
You may remember my old rig from 06/07

I am partial to your Cooper S as this is what I am driving now. It's name is NAPALM.

Will bring you some fine selections from the local Brewery as well.
