Sweeeeeeet. Well, except for the front plate thing. :lol

It's a blast to drive. I've owned my car for exactly 3 months today, and I've already racked on 5500 miles. I can't imagine what the JCW is like though. :eek:

Edit: I thought the sticker on the side was a JCW sticker, but nevermind. Either way, ROCK ON!

Great pictures as always, CMT. I need to get someone to take some more shots of me driving my Cooper... :ponder

Nice pictures! Reminds me that I need to get pictures of me driving.

The first photo is the tops. Nice.

The front plate thing bothered me too but, required in Vermont. At least our plates are the most "European looking" of all the states with a long rectangular white box around it.

I solved the plate issue with using the German made aero front license plate holder from MINI on my aero front spoiler. It sits down lower and looks fine.
[since I'm not allowed to post images yet - craziest thing...]

Looks great!!! Man, my wife was so close to getting the cooper S in that same exact paint scheme. But she got a e39 525i. Looking at those pics makes me wish that she chose the mini....

Awww. :)

[LittleMT]

very nice!

[sprp85]

man. she knows something about the colors right?

The best color combo ever!!! (bias..)

[themadhatter]

pretty damn clean pics, Chris. I'd like to find out how you make the pics so clear.

[CMT]

Yeah. I made this thread and promptly forgot to return to it. Way to go, clownass!

:jump3

Ron, the key to a lot of my shots' clarity is the circular polarizer I use. it does a lot towards killing glare reflections and sharpening up the shot - I even used it for the pics in this thread, and while it killing the available light in the overcast conditions, it still allowed for a crystal clear shot of the car. :D

Congrats to everyone who owns one of these finely fun and extremely well poised automobiles. :buttrock

[themadhatter]

very nice man, it shows that you do put allot of work into your hobby.

my favorite pic of that group is m5.jpg, I love motion shots and the lighting on that pic just brings the car out so well while muting the background.

[G. P. Burdell]

I've been meaning to buy a circular polarizer...

[Chuck W.]

Nice

[Fish Face]

I wish I could take pics like that

[Boosted]

I want a mini too!! :) There are some pretty sweet ones rolling around my area here. Fun stuff!

[mylenaptalf]

I got 2-3 weeks until I take delivery.....

I already have a fresh roll of film in the camera ready to go. I have never been so obsessed with something I do not own yet... (with exception to a few actresses.)

[phunkshon]

Cool pics.
