2020 Pictures of your MINI thread

It’s good to be able laugh at oneself, especially those with diminishing mental capacity.

 

So fast the camera could not capture the whole car.

 

Nice to see a photo of Blu Brit again. Always thought it was a great representative of the modern MINI.

 

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.

 

I'd love one too. There is one on Bring a Trailer now. Are you sure you could live with 108 HP after being spoiled buy the Helmet & Lotus big HP?

My experience with early GTI's is limited to a couple enduro races I did in a friend's MK2 8 valve. It was a fun car that I remember fondly.

My happy place!

 

Went to see the car today (clear coating) and it looked pretty good. I should get it back this week I hope.

 

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

 

I always liked

The car sold for $32,500.

 

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.
