Mitch came over to help me pull the power steering pump (Mitch - I found and printed a pictorial "how to"...) and I saw the new BBS wheels. They look really cool, and the tires are HUGE. The wheels are 3-piece wheels, and while cool, are a BEACH to clean! Still - light and really strong. Good stuff.

How about a CLOSE UP so folk can count all the tiny little brake dust collectors?

The wheels do look very good, but I would hate to clean them.
How do you tie the bow of the kayak? To what? |
|
I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Sweet! How long have you had the "s" hood on the car Mitch? Did I just miss that for eternity?!?!

Thanks. Stephen, I had to go way under to find an attachment point. Martin, if you remember Eddie with the tricked out green "s" that left the country a few years back, he had an extra "s" hood laying around and gave it to me so I had it painted and threw it on.

I can't believe I missed noticing the S bonnet! Looks great! Was it a perfect fit (swap) for the Cooper one?

It fit with no problems. You do have to move both headlights and align them.

I don't recall seeing that kayak in the accessories section of the MINI brochure.
Even worse, I've not yet spotted the MINI underneath either. |

The MINI under it is driven mainly by my wife so you should see it puttering around Covington. Of course I haven't bumped into you in either MINI in quite awhile. Where you been keeping yourself?

I have the same commute that you know. When I head for groceries and such, MINI usually morphs into an old pickup that needs some exercise.
