Since most visitors to my blog probably won't care about the rest of my trip, I'll just talk about the important parts. Of the two minis I saw, I was only able to photograph one. It was a lovely red sportspack style model. The other mini was a more subdued blue model with the bumper guards I saw on every Mini in Paris a few years ago.
My other Mini related adventure was the purchase of some cheap English parts! As you may or may not remember I tried to turn my wheels recently and discovered that they rub on the fenders. While in London, I picked up a package containing 4 used, genuine Sportspack arches. I'm super excited to get these on the car
