    Got the pass seat installed,,,, what a PITA. Of course I'm old and woreout and that doesn't help when I'm crawling around on the floor wrestling car seats , figuring out German wiring connectors and brackets :frown2:

    Seems very nice, did not take a drive , just sat in it.

    got the drivers side done. The car is definitely quicker and handles better too!:D

    Really I mean it, it does feel better.

    Takes a bit to get in and out of.

    Looks amazing. That side bolstering is really aggressive. Good thing you're not a pear-bod or you'd never fit.

    Now, can a nice red five-point harness be far behind? :devil:

    I think I'm going to follow suit here soon. If I keep going where I'm going with my car, I won't want to daily it anymore. I'm thinking a 1st Gen justa would be great :Thumbsup:

    I've actually realized that I've pretty well maxed out everything I want to do with my Roadster (I'm down to swapping wheels just for the sake of change). I miss all of the mechanical tinkering I was able to do with my '05. If the right '06 MCS came along I'd be real tempted. A Justa might be more practical, but I've already owned two and my Justa-Roadster is a long-term keeper.

    I keep recalling my 2008 experience of standing next to the Continental Tire Bridge at Road America and hearing the sound of a nicely equipped 1st Gen MINI getting on the throttle as it cleared the Carousel. Not a single person standing there could avoid an involuntary ear-to-ear grin :D hearing that supercharger spooling up, and they reacted the same every lap. It's all stuck in my head.
