The difference it makes with the archs painted!! Beautiful! It shows how good looking Betty is since an artist wanted to put it into his painting!!

The spots are small but this is the world off Minis!!! We like small things!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Getting old is a must but growing up is optional!

Really nice looking mini and tastefully modified,was it a ladies touch or did the "artist" have a hand in it too.BTW nice picture on Carlingford pier,I was thinking of do a run later in the year out towards Colley and take ye on a few interesting back roads more suited to a car of mini proportions. :D

I like to think so :P :P


I had a fair idea of what I wanted to do once i got her home, spent ages cleaning and hoovering til I sorted what would suit her. Now that I think of it, it was her anniversary the other week - Great Friday.

I think the sprayed in arches and wavey grille make it. My previous Cooper was a late Sportspack so it had all the bits and pieces already done.

I'd quite fancy a light tan leather interior and pepper pot wheels but thats wishful thinking.


Thanks for all the nods of appreciation 8)
