    In Canada, GPs come with a separate set of wheels and winter tires.

    No. Because of the Covid, the dealer gave me a loaner while the Countryman was in for an oil change. They are so backlogged with servicing at the BMW dealership that an oil change gets you an overnight loaner.

    I already told my advisor that when they are ready with the next gen in 2023, then that will be when I will look into another MINI. That will be when I might put the R53 up for sale...or trade in.

    Keep this quiet but I was really talking about Chuck. I started worrying about him when he got the German bread wagon.:D

    I loved those rims too. In fact I had 2 sets of them, one with summer rubber & one with all seasons. Plus I had a set of holy's with winter shoes. Yes I was a wheel whore.

    I'd still be driving BLU BRIT had my left knee not gone to hell. Get thee an automagic said the othopedic doc.

    My plan was to buy a new F56, but that didn't work out for reasons. The German breadvan won day. :)

    The German bread Van is a great car. I still want a MKI

    Those rims were awesome and had truly the classic Mini look! Wish they made them in 15”.

    No one makes them anymore. For me 16" was perfect. There is a Rota wheel that looks similar & it's available in 15". Think they are called Rewinds.

    Thanks! Appreciate the input, but I am running a 15x7 Kosei wheels and love them. 13.5 pounds and really make a difference with my contact patch & sidewall deflection when used with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R’s(compared to the 5.5” wide white Holies)

    The picture of your car on the dragon shows Holies with big tires stuffed onto them. The opposite of tire stretch.

    Ge a set of rewinds for those tires. A guy can't have too many wheels. ;)

    I thought Minilite or Superlite made a 15” wheel, of course it may not be for a MINI.

    Nice looking MINI. IMO doesn't need stripes, perfect as is.

    A Brera would have been a car I would have liked to drive.

    That's gorgeous.

    I wonder if there would be any benefit to doing a ceramic coating on my car that's been through everything now. It still shines but pretty beat up paint wise. Especially on the front bonnet. And few parking lot dings on the side. Your advice?

    I guess I could just keep waxing it.

    Look up 34 way coating challenge, very cool 2 year test.
