Here's mine. Got it back in July 07, as you can probably tell i'm not in America though right hand drive, and my indicators aren't on the wheel arches either

Thanks Msteadman! We got lucky with the wheels as the dealer screwed up and these were the only white wheels available. It was a no charge up grade
I really like the way it handles now with the bigger wheels and softer MC suspension, but I would've been content with the bridgespokes.

Behold! My MINI shows itself on NAM. These aren't exactly flashy or scenic shots, just basic pictures.


British Racing Green, white bonnet stipes and roof, sunroof and chrome mirror caps. Note the unblurred license plate - gasp!



Here's what Tuscan Beige looks like with British Racing Green - I like it.



A wheel is important.



The speedometer rules over the dashboard with an iron fist, ruthlessly oppressing lesser gauges.



I love my sunroof. It's enormous, and it lets in a huge amount of light. That light makes the interior seem very spacious and inviting, and encourages spontaneous bouts of motoring. The brightening aspect is also why I went with the stock grey headliner - it keeps things looking lighter.



The joy of toggle switches.



The boot! I'm actually quite surprised how much stuff can fit in there if the seats go down. Also, note the rear fog lights. My MA suggested I get them so I wouldn't be missing the toggle switch. I'm very happy I followed his advice, as a missing switch would make me nuts.



If green light is unlit, you are motoring incorrectly.

Hey, Kilted. Let me see if I can't get you started posting pictures.

First off, host the pictures you have on your computer on NAM in your Gallery. You have some pictures in your gallery already, so I think you've already got this step.

Next, and after you'd hosted the pictures you want posted in your Gallery, click on a picture and find its URL.


^
Click the thumbnail to actually read it

Once you have the URL, go to the Advanced Reply button in a thread to post. Click the little yellow button that looks like a picture and place the URL in the box that pops up. If you have Windows, it might give you a security warning and ask if you want to use Scripted Windows. Say yes if it does.



It should display your picture after you click OK. Then you just post it, or add more pictures using the same process.

Just ask if I muddled something in my explanation.

Hey, you got thumbnails working. Good job.

That's a nice shot, by the way - I like the rally lights.

I resorted to copy and paste when you already notice I was having trouble with the URL. Thanks for your help.

Oh dear. It looks like I've managed to vastly overcomplicate a simple situation once again!

If you go to your picture and just copy it (that is, right click and copy), and can paste it into your reply field with no coding or button pressing at all.

Hi all,

I just got my MINI last Friday, 12/21. I'm having soooo much fun with it! My wife wasn't too excited about it when we ordered a few months ago. But now she loves it! She's been out all afternoon with it and I'm stuck at home...

Can't wait until after the break in period...

Here's a late night photo in the garage.




The second was taken at MINI of the Woodlands. I was messing around with a Adobe Lightroom to get a fun "poster" look.

My wife loves it so much, she now wants to sell her car to get a new MC. MINIs sure are contagious... And now some photos:


I'm going to have to watch out for yours. I'm also in OC and externally your car is almost identical to mine except for rear fogs and white turn signals. Interior is more different though. Still at first glance I could easily mistake it for my own in a parking garage.

Hi Dave, they are team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's. They will have the tire pressure sensor wheels by January. I can't fit them on these so I get the light on but I dont care. I'll just sell them when I can order the new ones. They have an office in Southern Cal in Rancho Cucamonga. Here's the link
