EAGLE- Really "cute" is the only word that can accurately describe them. However, if you have a sense of the Mini's heritage, "sporty" isn't inappropriate either, particularly once you've driven one. It's like a go-kart for grown ups.
Walfredo- I didn't realize that you were leasing, not buying. Slamming a K&N into it might violate the terms of the lease, you might want to check into that first.
Oh yeah probably right. But I may not need to as my rep called to finalize everything this morning prior to getting the production #. And she asked is there anything else before I send it on. I said yeah can you go ahead and make it the S? So an S is on the way.    Wife said it is your car so you get what you want.  |

...if you have a sense of the Mini's heritage
I almost died in one in 1971. I don't think it had airbags though. |

I think a vw bug is cuter, but I'll try to start liking them more for you guys.  |

For some reason, I thought you still got around on one of these: *pic* No, I don't drive a bug, they're too easily squished. I still don't have my license either. But, when I am looking for a vehicle, a deep midnight blue Chevy Silverado would be my first choice. So yes, I still have the bike, and it's much prettier than the one in that pic. It's a 26" Magna Outreach (mountain bike) with a deep magenta finish. |

I saw a blue mini cooper today that I thought I *could* like. I think I can pinpoint the thing that I don't like the most. Most colors don't seem to look great on it because of the chrome finish (which especially stand out around the headlights). Oh, and racing strips still look out of place. But as with most cars, if I can find a color that I think it looks good on it, I can like it. (See! I am trying. ) Enjoy the car. |
