    1. Please tell us about your MINI when it was delivered. Option Packages along with the Year, Model and Color.

    1975/96 Rover Mini Red/White. [imgR]http://www.motoringalliance.com/gallery/data/610/medium/IMG_1070.JPG[/imgR]

    Purchased from Mike Sage in Watertown Wisconsin in 2008. Saw a flyer about this car at Minis Takes The States at Elkhart Lake Wisconsin, stopped by to see the car on the way home and bought it two weeks later.


    2. Why did you choose a MINI?

    You can say I was bit by the “Mini Bug†and thought it would be the perfect companion for my 2003 MINI Cooper S.


    3. Please tell us about the various phases your MINI has taken as your mods progressed.

    I have added Alloy Wheels, New Tyres, and a Roof Graphic.


    4. What has been your modification philosophy?

    Keep it as close to original as possible.


    5. What has been the most difficult mod completed to date? Why? N/A [imgR]http://www.motoringalliance.com/gallery/data/610/medium/IMG_0980.JPG[/imgR]


    6. Where do you research and source your modifications; materials, parts, etc?

    Mini World Magazine, MC2 Magazine, and on line forums.


    7. Have other Motoring Alliance members assisted you? If so, give them a shout out. N/A


    8. How did Motoring Alliance help you as a resource in your modifications?

    Checked the Classic Forums for ideas and information.


    9. What are you planning next? What remains to be done? What are your goals?

    Might change the stainless fender flares with traditional black flares.

    Fender Flares

    Keep the stainless fender flares - they really set the mini off. Looks to me like all you need to do, is drive/enjoy :Thumbsup:
