“Niiice” MINI
Today, perhaps unsurprisingly, I went to MINI Peabody to meet Richard and install my very last auto-up circuit in his MINI - I am getting proficient now, less than five minutes!
While Richard and I were chatting, a smart Electric Blue MCS pulled in - the first thing we saw was its license plate:
.
Then we slowly noticed more customisations - like a “JCW” badge on the front grille, chrome around the front and rear lights, chrome behind the door handles … chatting with the owner, Jim, we also discovered more chrome inside and even under the hood!

Jim will be at MINIsOnTop so if you are going, look out for the “NIIICE” MINI (and the other nice MINI):

Is that a ‘Please do not feed or tease the MINI’ display I spy in the background of that last pic?

Sadly, no. MINI Peabody have a car display which is only the edges of the box - no cage walls or warnings
You can see more in this pic

I can’t wait to go “shopping” at MOT…I’ll be taking pics of anything I might want to add to my new MINI
