    Thanks guys! I really think the Dark silver/white combo is timeless and looks pretty aggressive. :)

    Jim, I hang my hat in Mannheim but work in Wiesbaden. This is the reason my Mini has so many miles, 50 mile one way commute.

    I know it well. Was stationed in Mannheim and Heidelberg for six years total. I worked at the Kaserne in downtown Mannheim, but can't remember its name right now and across the street from Campbell Barracks in Heidelberg.

    Do they still do the "Burning of the Castle" each year?

    Castle Lighting still occurs like clock work. :Thumbsup: I am throwing out a guess here, Turley Bks? Were you a transporter? (51st Trans) I was 28th Trans for Many years!

    Turley Barracks, that is indeed the place. Short Staruss ride from TJ (or was it BF) Village. There was an old story about underground tunnels that connected a number of Kasernes during the war, including they airfield, but we could never find them. Turley was mostly Trans units when I was there too, but I was CID. I hesitate to say that, because this is when you will stop talking to me. :cornut:

    BOOO Seamen... :lol: I had the pleasure working with the MP's as a civilian and not in uniform. they are still close to my hear though but the friends that I made with the polizei has been priceless in more than one way.

    Army represent!!

    Welcome David, a few of us old Air Force types are hanging about too. :)

    Btw, your MINI and my 07 could be clones. I will have to rebuild my garage over the holiday with some pictures.

    Will do Steve!

    Just ordered the parts for my Aero Kit II front bumper. WOOT! Still need to have it painted though, I will pick up the parts Monday. Decided to keep the stock top grill for now but may swap it out later. Parts came out to just over $400.:eek6:

    David, as a DAC, can get gas ration coupons? What is the price of gas on the economy now?

    David, you will like the transformation. I did mine myself this past summer. It wasn't too difficult. Here's pics of mine....

    No more coupons for gas. We now (DACs also) have a ration card that works like a debit card. You must have a positive $ balance on the card and rations of fuel to cover the purchase. Price per Lit is now around $2.10.. :frown2:

    WOW Looks incredible!!!
    My buddy owns a body shop near me and says he has some REALLY hard PPG mix he uses for bumpers. I need to eventually get the hood painted as well because of 50k+ of Autobahn miles stone chips.. :frown5: I am on my 3rd windshield in 2 years so you can imagine the hood.
