    Allen sold it... sniff. But he has a Subie, so I guess that is OK!

    Yes. That is the only approved second brand in the MoM group.

    I loved that color combo as well. Currently that car has grey wheels and black mirrors and other accents. The interior is still orangeafied though :)

    Last one was an earlier pic before the speedo was done. The whole project was started because I hate that Mini put a light silver ring on the tach and the rest of the trip was dark silver. That is also the reason the steering wheel has the carbon inserts that silver crap they put on the steering was constantly dirty because it was a light color with a textured surface. It was so stupid that one part on the interior be a different color.

    The other day I was thinking about what I would do if the guy who bought it called and sold it back to me. I think I would get it wrapped true BRG for the body and do gold wheels and redo the interior with BRG wrap on the grey parts and have the accessories painted gold. And by gold I really mean a bronze color.

    Ali,
    Still trying to get pictures from Andy. He isn't the quickest person...
    I think we are picking up my wife's new ride tomorrow. A 2007 Suburban. Big change from the Clubman! That will free up the time and effort to focus on what I want to get. Have to take care of her first.

    Carol said that all MoM's had to get a Subie when they got rid of the MINI. I hope you are not violating one of the MoM virtual by lays. :lol:

    They have most of the same letters on common. Close enough!

    I'll see if I can find a chance to get down there and take the pics for you. I can't believe he hasn't sent them yet.

    Don't know. Told him he should give me more for the trade and he claimed he was trying to get me more. He certainly isn't impressing me. Now that we have decided on the wife's car I may start leaning on him a little more.
