    Ok folks.. yes we just took delivery of a 2012 MCS Convertible for my wife. It's fully spec'd out with JCW aero kit, 6 speed, leather, nav....very very sweet configuration. Here are some pix right now....it'll be undergoing the full treatment:

    Coilovers, Intake, Exhaust, powdercoating wheels black for backup wheels and adding Konig Advanced wheels in black and red, and a variety of mods to make this baby look mean!

    Stay tuned!

    What else???? OBSSSD 2!

    The short story is that I met my wife in Architecture school back in 1991, but we didn't get married back then. I wanted a MINI when they first came out, she did too, but for various reasons she couldn't get one though she configured her "dream car"...we reunite in 2009, discover we both have a passion for MINIs and MR2's and are madly in love with each other..we get married...3 years later she gets her MINI =)
