Over 100 beers, all bottles: classy

Actually, you got me thinking about the chrome thing.

I have chrome inside and out. It looks great on a MY!

Where did you get it from and how long did it take you to do the job. Does it need more than one person to do it. Also do you have bonnet/boot stripes??

I am curious as I would like to do something similar when I get mine in couple of days. Mine will be a lightning blue/white no stripes. I would go for white checkers on the side.

If anyone has that combination please post pics.

Mini Numer 2 Arrives

I was within an inch of buying a Honda Civic in January, when my Daughter and I went and looked at Minis on a whim. The rest is history. We ordered our first Mini on Feb 1, took delivery March 8. We ordered our second Mini on May 8, took delivery yesterday, June 14. Here she sits, 0.8 miles on the odometer.

I like the PW/PW a LOT! Very unique and nice-looking. Most go with PW/B...nice, but much more common.

Nice ride!

Well the car has about 1700 miles on it so far in two months of ownership and I am currently getting about 400 miles to a tank and about 54/55 mpg.
