Hi All- I'm new to Motoring Alliance, but not necessarily the world of MINI. :wink: I've had my R53 (affectionately known as Ruffian) since Sept. '10. I've been on North American Motoring since prior to the adoption of my MINI but just found MA today, so I'm happy to join the crowd here. My girl is BRG/W, with three pedals and some aftermarket fun thrown in: 15% pulley kit, DDM Works CAI, H-sport RSB, Craven Speed strut tower Defenders, custom stripes. By far the most fun I've ever had on four wheels, and a car I'll never ever get rid of. I look forward to finding more MINIacs here, learning, conversing, and hopefully contributing. Cheers! Brian
Welcome to the COOLEST MINI forum on the net!..... Show us some pictures of Ruffian......We want to see !!!
As requested, here are a couple pics of Ruffian from last fall, just after I plasti-dipped the wheels. I'll add more to my gallery soon.
Thanx! The Marley sticker has gotten a few comments in person, but not many on the interwebz have mentioned it. You have sharp eyes! I wasn't sure how the wheels would turn out when I did them last year, but I really like the white roof, mirrors, stripes, and wheels. I haven't found any white wheels that I like enough to buy, so I'm thinking about having the web spokes powder coated.
Woo Tampa! Woo BRG! I've seen you around. I live around Clearwater. If you see a weird chick in a MINI that looks like this with a big cat sticker in the window, wave back!
Hey there! I'm just a bit south of you, in Largo, just off West Bay Dr. I try to keep my eyes peeled & wave to all MINIs I see. If by chance I don't it's only cuz my eyes were in the rear view looking for Johnny Law, or downshifting & looking for/dipping into gaps in traffic :wink: PS: GREAT MINI you have there...hot stuff!
