The bright side is that without a bumper, your car weighs less!

I'd actually be very interested in a detailing clinic. Being that this is the first car I've owned that I cared about the way it looks and the longevity of those looks, I'd like to know how to keep it looking new as long as possible. Don't ask how often I got my last car washed.....

When I was there a few weeks ago, the discount was on products and not service. Although I only got the hand wash which was $35 so I was fine that not being discounted.

The 2D JCW has an updated engine and interior. Nothing wrong with the JCW Countryman, but the updates are the reason I went with the 4D instead of the Countryman.

Saw a really nice 2D JCW that was dark gray with black stripes and a black top on 395 South Monday on the way home. Why couldn't they make the 4D a JCW model too?!

Will he need to know ahead of time if I want the 50/35 or 50/50?

I am very excited. I know my kids complain of how bright it is in the car.... Are there different degrees of tint that he can do? Or is it all the same? Mat

My kids really enjoyed waving at you Craig. Your car looks and sounds great. They also demanded I roll the windows down so they could hear the sounds of the cars. I love that they're burgeoning petrol heads.

Nice, looks like a lot of fun.

I find myself in a curious position. My old car probably got a bath 4 times a year. I just washed my new one for the second time and started thinking about what the best products out there are to make it look tip top every time. I currently only have Mothers wash/wax. What are the products you guys swear by?

Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

So, as you guys know I am the proud owner of a brand new 4-door hardtop Cooper S. I was wondering if any of you have made modifications or done tunes to new MINIs and what your experience with the dealership has been like. I was looking at the NM Engineering Power Module as an easily removable option but I was wondering what else is out there in the same vein. I could just go and get stripes for a +/- 25 HP boost though....

I only got a split second look. It had black hood stripes and sounded nice but, I was more concerned with not hitting the police that were getting out of their cars as I left my mothers neighborhood. BTW, has anyone in Fairfax City noticed a whole lot more police out and about since the end of last week?

Saw a nice orange MINI on Old Lee Highway last night around 11. Wasn't able to tell if it was a convertible or a coupe, but it had rally lights.

I waved no less than three times to a roadster with personal plates on 395 yesterday. can't remember them exactly, mini-rod or something like that. Didn't even turn her head.
