Off with the old & on with the new!
by Mark V. on Aug.10, 2008, under MINI
Last Thursday I sold my old wheels to a club member for his wifes MINI. I looked long and hard for a new set of wheels and decided on the Drag DR-8. I also added a new set of rubber all the way around. They are Yokohama S.Drive and have a very aggresive look to them. They make TWISTER look so much different that today I decided to take off the numbers and frame for them and add a small touch of silver to the shelby stripes and the Challenge side checkers.

Welcome...
This blog is about me and my MINI called TWISTER. My first MINI was a '04 that I had for 3 years. I did plenty of mods to him and loved every minute. I now own a '08 R56 with all the options I really wanted. I've only had him since April 17, 2008 and have already completed most of the mods I want to do.
Please stop by here often to see what I've done and to learn what I learn about the new R56.

Those thin lines add a lot to the car. Very nice.
I also like the standard side markers on the S. I went a different way and tried to black the chrome out, but your way is cleaner. Maybe I’ll rethink my mod.

Do you use any heat? Or just the slimy spray stuff like Rapid Tac?

I used to use a formula of soap and water but was told by a manufacturer at a sign trade show it’s bad for the adhesive so I stopped. Obviously it works for you though.

In looking at you website I noticed some stuff floating around under “Tag Cloud” and wondered what the heck that was all about? It’s almost miniscule on my screen.

When you TAG in a post that is where they show up. I need to TAG more so it fills up. Hold you mouse over one and you will see it come to the front and enlarge itself. Its a small plugin for WP. The more times I TAG the word MINI in a post, the larger the word will be
