    Since 'moooltipass' has been taken, I am gonna have to go with 'big ba-da boom'. :D

    Really a fun movie, and no way on the arch to arch stripe, yuk! Great facsimile nabeshin!

    Looks like Nabeshin's artist rendering is going to have to hold you guys and gals over. Went to the dealership last night and the black cabrio wasn't there. Patience my friends. I WILL get pic's so you can view this abomination of MINIness

    IMO if parallel stripes run the full length of the car, they look OK. But I'm not into stripes, so my opinion is worth squat.

    Ok, heres a tease.

    Our dealership had a MINI costume contest for Halloween and we decided to do a Mr. Incredible theme. Compared to some of the others we were kinda lame. See the Yoda one below.

    Look at the MINI behind the one next to mine, thats the black cabrio and you can see the offending stripe on the wheel arch that started this whole thing. Nate has the size of pic's set pretty small, understood from a storage point of view

    This is the pumpkin my wife carved that we placed on top of the car
