Thanks much. I am already looking at what mods I can do. :-) First up -> Once it gets warm, I am going to paint the brake calipers red.

More phone shots from today. Put the Challenge Spokes with summer tyres back on, and gave him a bath. Took them all top-up today for a change...

Enjoying the pics spiney. I hope to swap to my summer shoes in the next week or two.

Your snow is disappearing fast.

Thanks for the kind words. It's all about the subject, really. It's hard to take a bad picture of this car! One day I'll bring our better camera downstairs and try to get something decent.

Gary,

The snow is all but gone here in Des Moines, getting ready for Lil Raggi this weekend. Just in time for five days of RAIN next week, starting on Sunday. At least it won't be snow or slush.

I've had Pintsize 2.0 for a couple months now, but weather in Chicago is awful, so not many photo ops yet.

Here he (wife deemed our R53 aka 1.0 a he, so we'll carry on the tradition) is with buddies on the Blue Ridge Parkway last week.

Bill - we're having our club spring drive 4/14. Check the link in my sig for more details. We'd love to have you join us for the morning!

New Shots

Had a chance to take some better pics this weekend. But can anyone tell me why the pics attach upside down?

Maybe another time as Olga wants to stop in Galena and we'd like go get back to Des Moines in daylight. But thanks for offer. Check back in the summer, or if you guys do a fun out west.

I'm thinking of mixing things up this year for our club overnighter and returning to Galena. The last couple years have been New Glarus.

Let me know. Maybe Eastern Iowa Mini that Gil Galad is part of, could do a meet at some point. Anyway, keep us informed when you get closer the date.

Nice! The Kite Blue looks way better "in the flesh" than it does in the configurator.

Very nice. If you look carefully, there are still some parts that aren't black though...

I know, I need to black out the tail light and headlight rings, the front grill trim, door handles and I need to get me that awesome GP2 diffuser
