Just Got "Jack" Thursday 7/30. Been reading this board for about 2 weeks since I made the decision to get him. I have some plans for mods coming up...
Want to black out the lights/gas cap/windows and plan on some graphics for the sides. It's a lot of silver down the side and I need to break it up.

And this is me and Jack. On a side note, I'm 6'4" and fit just fine in my MINI.

Hey JC55X I'm 6'8'' and drive a Mini. I get the classic line I drive a clown's car when people see me get out. Even though it's has the most driver side interior room I have ever seen and I test drove 12 cars before I got to the Mini even though the mini was my first choice anyway.

Awesome Big Joe! I'm going to wait until I get about 1000 miles on the car, then I'll let some of the people who don't "get it" drive the car. I just don't want any one tearing it up before I go through some break in time.

It's good to see another tall guy in a MINI though.

I got a lot of crap about my height and the car being small until I found that picture of Dirk like sometime last year and I sent it to every single person I knew. I haven't gotten any smack about the car being small since then amd It's funny because the first thing I do when someone says my car is small I have them sit in the driver sit and tell them to reach the peddles and about %90 of the time they can't. I just smile and there mind is changed and they all of sudden love the car.

Oh yes, MINIs can definitely seem bigger on the inside

I love parking next to other minis. I feel safer

Here is the progress of my black outs.
