    Fabricated a new bracket for my Escort to mount it next to the rear view mirror. I will post pictures as soon as I install it.

    I gave the MINI the day off while I fixed a few things on the NOT N MG. Then took the little roadster out for a back road romp. :D

    Gave the MINI a quick wash today. There is so much pollen here in Virginia.

    Love the shiny Breyton GTS-R wheels! :cornut:

    geekguy's car looks fresh! :)

    Today i installed 17in wheels with a 215/45r17 tire.
    The feeling is much better than the factory 16's.

    Thanks Mononoke! The 17" wheels definitely help the handling of the MINI.
