Jan. 5, 2006 - Entry Number One

Just to make sure this blog works, I figured I would introduce my car.

It's a 2004 MINI Cooper S that's pretty much stripped down (cloth seats, no sunroof, no auto climate control, no DSC, etc.).  The only big "splurge" items from the factory were xenon headlights and the color...British Racing Green was the only way to go.

From the picture, the obvious modifications are the new, wider wheels and tires (205/50R16 Bridgestone Potenza RE750's on Kosei K1's) and the top half of the Aero Grill.  The attempted installation of the bottom half of the Aero Grill was a disaster, so I just painted the stock silver piece black.

Here are the remaining big and small additions to my car:
- Pro MINI intake
- Stereo Aux input
- Additional cigarette lighter (for my radar detector)
- Glove Box organizer

The next project is figuring out a good way to mount my iPod Nano which currently resides, rather crudely, in my cup holder.
