    Here is my 2013 JCW Roadster, named MightyBee. MINIBee, my 2006 Cooper Convertible is still with me and now stays in a private room at a retirement facility. I take her out 1-2 times a month to play.

    MightyBee was originally Chili Red and Black but I quickly gave him the Visine treatment (to get the red out). He's coming along nicely although there is still much to do. He should be in pretty good form by MOTD 11.

    Coming up soon: New wheels with custom paint and yellow calipers. Also making custom side scuttles and door sills using the MightyBee logo (below) designed by my son.

    Congrats Jack!! Looks like a beauty, can't wait to see it in person.

    Just be careful on the Dragon since you now look like the road :biggrin5:

    Thanks everyone! MightyBee got his new wheels yesterday and is getting his calipers painted Liquid Yellow today. Pictures soon! And that means I'm taking MINIBee out for some fun today. The old girl still loves to run, even with 158,000 miles on her.

    New wheels are on. Calipers will be painted Liquid Yellow on Thursday and I have custom center caps on the way.

    Wheels are Konig Illusions and I had the machined aluminum areas painted Liquid Yellow by an airbrush artist.
