Wifey's new mini!

So, my wife has been wanting a mini since they came out, but other things always came up. Since she was so cool with me getting the F bomb, I thought I'd share the kindness.
Here's her Mini Cooper S R56 santa got her for X-mas!
god, this thing is fun to drive...

It works now! Looks like a racehook at the back, is that from JCW? And I'd try to switch the front fog light glasses to transparent or white, that'd look sweet
How does she like it?

Thanks! the hook is the stock one powder-coated yellow. We LOVE the yellow fogs because it goes with the whole story. She wanted me to make it look like a 60's French Monaco rallye car.
After all, since it's technically the wife's, it needed to be quirky and cute for her (and not too quirky and cute for when I drive it...).

It's a collaboration between Fashion designer, Paul Smith, and Triumph. Limited to 50 pieces in the world. Some people hate it --you either get it or you don't. Since I'm in the fashion biz, I love it...

^^Haha that's awesome! I'm a real sucker for PS stuff, he's a great designer for clothes. Stylish, classic clothes mixed with rad textures, patterns and design.

nice! another true fan.
It actually sits on display in my office's conference room in front of the window. I can't bring myself to ride it since it's so rare. All I need is some soccer-mom in her Hummer on her phone running it off the road.

Besides, my Paul Smart keeps my moto-thirst quenched.

Hehe, too abd it's so hard to come over some nice collections in Sweden. My brother used to live in London and I always visited the PS shops when I went over there
I can understand, it's just a piece of beauty to have around.

Lol, you have a Smart car in PS style too?
