Serious interest ? Because I will have to dig deep. They do not make it easy. To put together. If I can't find paper work I can send you to the best ( least awful ) website and walk you through it. It took me 3 months of aggravation and back and forth before my MTB actually rode up there. Worth the hassle & money. Best rack out there and I think its great / clean styling. Every track day someone asks "where's your bike". I'm tempted to track with it up there it's so secure and stable.>

Not too serious. I just bought a Thule system and just wanted to see if yours was different, but I did some comparing/research tonight and it looks the same. The only thing I'm wondering about now is why you don't have the short adapters.

Not sure what you mean ? Shorter towers ?
Look closely and refer to my pic. Every Mini mounting vid on YouTube is wrong and uses a cobby older system. This is the cleaner way to go. Will send more pics if needed. I finally found the USA Thule tech guy easy to talk to and helpful.

I know it's like a ghost town around here these days but my recent pick up has got me pumped. I really like how it looks but I'm not IN love w/ it. Trying to figure out what it is but I'm happy for now.

Skeedaddle

Hello!
Meet my 08 Mini Cooper S. I named her Skeedaddle. It sounds like I'm skeedaddeling every morning when I drive off. But when she's warmed up? You better look out. I always wanted a Mini Cooper. I'm 6'3" 400 Lbs. Everyone asks "How do you fit in there"??? I plop is the drivers seat and drive off. I love it!

Skeedaddle is a little rough around the edges, but piece by piece I'm putting her back together,

Just finished replacing crossover pipe, thermostat housing, windshield reservoir, hatch switch. waiting on new front grille, new spoiler, troubleshooting faulty key fobs, tpms( most likely need new wheel sensors as originals are 13+ years old. Also need new front sunshade. Fun winter project in between skiing treks.
