    Say Hi if you see me at the dragon or at the car wash:) He likes to get dirty!

    Detroit Tuned Skid Plat on ALL4

    I've enjoyed having a Detroit Tuned skid plate on my ALL4 - more that another motorer who has had two rebuilds of the delicate stuff on the bottom of hers.

    Cool skid plate..

    Now you need to get it painted and striped to match the top of your car.

    Tequila Jill!

    Sorry... those are the 2 words that pop into my head when I see this beautiful Countryman. I helped strip some of the mud off that was deposited by more than a couple Parson's Branch road runs before the MOTD Car Show last year... it is a very well done car.

    I heard that you guys did a 2" lift and some big, knobby tires for the mud / winter. Fresh pics with this new setup??? If I were to do a Countryman, I'd be very tempted to go in this exact same direction.

    Got my skid plate installed, and am totally happy with it. Happy to have the extra protection.

    Very nice look...
    If you don't mind me asking, what type of budget are we talking about here?

    I did not realize, until you said something, that this is the same car. It is very nice and I have several pictures of it. Well, at least one anyway. :D

    Don't sweat it. MOTD has so much going on that sometimes you just get all caught up in it and the little details slip away. You will remember her next year when you see her and remember her name. :Thumbsup:

    Fantastic! Where's the tow bar and what's the towing capacity for a Countryman? I'm was guess about 1 portable BBQ or a pup-tent on wheels :lol:
