What jhull said. I have a few 50-60mph stretches on non-interstates on my regular drive too, so I usually just leave them up. There's enough wind-in-the-hair that way without feeling the need to stick my head in a wind tunnel...

I have almost 6 hours of top down since getting the car last Tuesday.

Temps have been between 34 and 42 degrees here in Central Mass. I only put the windows up on the highway or when it gets really cold.....

Spiney in the snow. First time out on the Blizzaks for a quick trip to town. Great grip on the driveway. Check out the Doctor Who license plate frame we got for Christmas. It's sort of true, my wife calls her Clubman "the Tardis" due to the amount of stuff she gets in on recycling day!

I say great shots, and am glad to see another Mini driving in dll weather, like they
were built for . But, I bought Michelin ICE winter tires on Alex's recommendation
two years ago. This is my 3rd season and they still work well. I'm sure the Blizzaks
work well too , but had to add commercial for my Michelins too.

Spiney: your roadster looks great in the snow!!!!

Thanks!

I got the Blizzaks because they are run flats, also through Alex at Tire Rack.

Hmm...Looks familiar except I now have my winter tires on with slightly different wheels. Good taste!

Spindly, love the pictures, I showed them to my wife and she wants to move where you live. Love the woody area. It reminds her of her parents home in Smolensk. Also, this helps in talking her into me getting a Mini Roadster this next time. Your blue, or else Prpper White with red accents. Who knows yet, I'm a year away yet.

I guess your autocorrect wants to turn Spiney into Spindly. I'm not offended, I am fairly spindly in person anyway!

Thanks for the nice words about the pictures. I wish I had Steven (BlueToy) around here to take some really good ones, he has a better eye and a better camera than I do!

Spiney, hey guy, your pictures are great. BluToys are very good, but your arnt bad either. As a matter a fact, your pictures are very nice. Still love the blue. It's almost the same color of my project Hotrod 38. It's a Ford/Lincoln color Kona Blue.

Here she is...arrived at the dealer today after a long wait. She will get some custom leather seats, then I'll get to take her home early next week! Proud to be part of "the club".

Very nice. When I was ordering mine I was going back and forth between the one I got and a car almost exactly like yours. Welcome!
