I have post 4001!

Nice, but your roof is dirty. You should order a chrome line interior retrofit!!! I just ordered one from Morristown...

Great looking Mini!! Chili Red is the best color... Fo sho.

Thats right!! I kinda wish I had gone 18s like you did. Yours look really great, and I bet they look even better in person!! I got 17s because I already had 17" crown spokes, so I kept the tires and sold the rims. Still in High School after all....

Thanks, we're 1/2 way home now. It was beautiful but it's nice to get down to where the three of us can breath again. My wife, myself, & the Cooper.

Thanks, but in all honesty, it's my wifes car. If I didn't already have a love affair with another car, I think I would have my own too, just no room left. I'm working on it though.
