The arches came with the bodykit I ordered. The arches, the rear diffuser, lower side skirts, and front lip were all primered instaed of black plastic. I just dropped them off to the body shop and had them painted.

But you still could have a body shop sand down the stock parts and paint them as well.

That is great! Never think about motoring with a group in the city. Must be harder keeping the group together with lights and traffic. Nonetheless great photo. I enjoyed it.

Looks at all the gray , black , and white cars in NYC, then the MINIs which stand out. Its like a movie scene.





This looks like fun.

It actually works out beautifully early on a Sunday morning - we meet up at 5:30 and leave for the run at 6:00 a.m. Hardly any traffic at that time of day on a Sunday. And the traffic lights tend to go red sumultaneously so it's pretty easy to stay together.

The organizer also takes us through a couple tunnels - the exhausts on most of our cars makes that a lot of fun.

Here's the video Kerry put together for this year.

Let me check with Bobby - he was our official photographer and hopped around the city to catch us at various points of the run.

My "new to me" 2007 MCS (and my other beast)

I got tired of 13 MPG in the M5, so I picked up a new toy this week.
