    Hi all, my name is Paul I have a 2008 HC/B Mini Clubman and just bought a 2011 MB Mini S with some nice flair. The clubman is my wife's car and the S is mine after trading in my 2008 Subaru WRX STi that I had owned and loved for 2 years. I plan on autocrossing my Mini and maybe doing some HPDE someday. Here are some pics of both of our cars and a few of y old STi.

    Paul nice rides! I can't quite figure out the roof graphic. Can you post a photo from higher up?

    Yeah, I will try to snap one soon. It's supposed to rain and I won't be able to wash until wed or Thursday. Can't take pictures of a dirty car. The graphic starts at the front as just a waving checkered flag then begins to tear and shred towards the back.

    Yeah, the only problem with MINiS and HPDEs is that you'll keep wanting to spend more time at the track. Get your wife into it too, the it's a romantic weekend get away :devil: Oh and well done posting lots of pics, we love the pics!

    I did my first mod this past weekend. A cravenspeed platypus no-holes front license plate holder. Next up is a belt-line blackout.
