Mini Motoring Designs

In the past few weeks I have been designing many works of art for past Mini motoring events. I have been sending the designs to GoBadges.com for implementing them into magnetic GO Badges. here some of the designs below.




Since accumulation of these designs have been piling up I decided to create an online store featuring these designs as T-shirts, buttons, stickers, and more.

Eyes of the Under-glow


Yesterday was a big feat for me as I under took a challenge of installing an under-glow kit to my MINI. This was my first real install that involved screws and power tools. It was actually a pretty easy process thanks to my helper and teacher Larry. 90% of the work was done by myself. Here are a few shots of the process.






































I also had a chance to do a photo-op with Blaze and their new eye shades.

MINI Slogans

I've recently been trying to come up with some creative & fun slogans related to MINI. I have been jotting them down on any piece of paper I can find so I don't forget them. But I think the list is getting long enough I should have a Slogan list on my blog. These Slogans will most likely be ending up on my mini at some point in the form of bumper stickers, or decals.






THE SLOGAN LIST

"MOTOR ON"

"MINI ON & Let's MINI"

"TWIST & MOTOR"

"SEEKING SWITCHBACKS"

"ZIG ZAG MOTORING"

"Let's Motor"

"Coast the Curves"

"ROCKET-FUELLED GO-KART"

"YES I'M A MINIAC"

"USE THE SPORT LUKE"

"HAIRPIN PRO"

Great site to get slogans VINYL STICKERS - STUCK ON MINIS.com

A Classic Dream

For the past few months I have been researching classic minis. I am quite interested in obtaining a classic car to add along side my daily driver (2010 Mini Cooper S). I think it would only be fitting to purchase another MINI. I have never owned a classic car and think that I would be able to obtain a classic car quicker if I started out small and cheap. Classic MINI coopers are very cheap depending on the condition and the use of them by their previous owners. I've been researching what all is involved in the classic mini coopers. Engines, Interiors, and just the over all Styles and features.

I went online and have been looking at photos and came across, what I believe to be one of my dream cars. A classic MINI Cooper in Matte Black. This one seems to be from France. It's not for sale, but its definitely the kind of quality and look I want in a classic car.


       This thing looks bloody brilliant. Now not all classic minis looks this good. I did some fine tuning in photoshop to see what it would look like with some design features and graphics. Wow I think I'm in love! This Classic MINI transformed right before my eyes into a beautiful, Kick ass piece of machinery. I think this is the classic I have been look for. I hope to continue the search for the mighty new classic mini and hope to save up enough cash to one day purchase one. I'll be looking for an Automatic transmission which narrows the search field a bit, but hopefully one day I'll have it in a garage of my own.
