    So much eye candy. I want one of those. The cars too.

    Me? I'm just driving my car. The weather here has warmed up to above 7c. It will get over 10c (spring weather) so it appears the big freeze on this end of the country is over. I am contemplating putting the summer tires back on. :cryin:

    My interior door handles are all scratched up and look bad. I was going to paint them but mine are plastic welded together.

    The first rule in owning a MINI means you are never done modding. :Thumbsup:

    Went for a drive in my S today...I HAVE to be living under a dark, DARK cloud. My hood scoop flew off on the interstate, so I pulled over to retrieve it when a semi obliterated it. Damnnnnn....:frown2::mad5:

    Royal Grey, a great color. If you had an R56 I could fix you up with one in Dark Silver, only a little heat warpage. :) :devil:

    Could have been worse, at least the semi didn't obliterate you. It is just a part that can easily be replaced.

    It WAS living on borrowed time...all those trips to and from the Dragon, and then, to Mid Ohio and Putnam Park and back, plus assorted twisties and Ohio roads in general loosened it by breaking off the clips that held it in place. I used packing tape to hold it down for awhile and then Russell from MINI FINI glued it down while I was at MOTD 3 years ago. It worked loose again and so, finally I J-welded it and it held well...til yesterday afternoon, that is. It's not so much the scoop that I'll miss, but I will that neon orange dragon I had on it [scoops are easy enough to find but that neon dragon isn't around anymore...not even on eBay]. :incazzato:

    Hey Jeff my graphics girl can make them... She can even get the neon orange. If you have a good picture of it, post it up and I will see what I can do.
