Well, folks! If you got offended with the American car bra's! Don't ever bother coming to visit Texas! I just took delivery of my new Electric Blue "S" model, and couldn't wait to get it home to start giving it that "personal touch". Since Texas did not have a Mini dealer program, I went all the way to Chicago to pick up my little dream mobile. And yes, I did install my car bra, to avoid those nasty rock chips. But once I got home "the fun began" I think I'll call it the "Long Horn package Plus" So for future reference I will be using the shortened version (L.H.+) Installation may seem simple, but at 135 MPH those horn tips, create quite a bit of turbulance. I will be offering the(L.H.+) for only $99.95.
For you folks in Germany, I do not have T.U.V. approval (yet!). So you may want wait a bit before ordering this accessory. For you folks that are animal activists "No animals suffered at the cost of developing this product. "The horns used for this product were not from a living animal" I actually hit this cow at about 90 M.P.H. with my pick-up truck a few years back. Long before I decided to buy a Mini. The poor thing didn't feel a thing! And am I glad I saved the horns!

File this with those Neons...Na, on second thought makes the neons sound ok now...

Eh..BruceK...is this typical of Texans? Or are you going to keep your horns in the closet?

I'm gonna be sick...God help us all!

Definitely wouldn't pass the EU pedestrian crash test.

Now remember we all have these horns on our cars here in Texas. This is standard equipment. Sometimes at a four way stop we do lock horns! Hitting pedestrians is like the "running of the Bulls, in Spain" except from the bulls perspective.
Texas has very few people who Tail gate, for obvious reasons.

Glad you have a sense of humor. Welcome to MINI2 !

better hide any red pieces of clothing (or flags) from this bull. Perhaps other drivers shouldn't even press on the brakes to signal the brigh red brakelights to attract this beast when in front

this Bull can run in the curves!

What are you talking about! Pedestrian crashing?!! With those horns on the front of the cars pedestrians get the heck out of the way so there's no worry at all about impacting them.

Active safety!

Sweet, I didn´t know that you guys in Texas drive around with German number plates.
So could one say that you do have a “horny” car now? Hmm, that reminds me of something....
Gotta go!

I hear this will be standard on all Texas sold MINI's

ps- my appologies for the poor photo suite quality as I am new to it

pss- crdits to madracer as this was his original photo

That's great!! If you ever fly over the state of Texas you will notice, every true Texan has a roof flag. Looks great! I just got back from a dealer up north only to find out my car delivery date was pushed back. I had some other business there, so not all was a loss. We installed a new Supersprint exhaust system on a Cooper, It sounded real good. Drove a Cooper S. That's the ticket!! I like that car, I think it has some real potential. With a little help, I think 200 hp is do-able.

Blue Thunder · Apr 25th, 2002, 11:51 AM

I've been thinking about Chrome plated horse shoes as door handles, and a continental kit for the back boot. (for you youngsters, that's the large metal spare tire housing that sits on the back bumper) Like on the early Lincoln continental.
Hey that would address the spare tire problem if you remove your run flats on a Cooper "S".

Deuce Coop · Apr 27th, 2002, 02:12 AM

I saw a PT Cruiser driving around the other day with the continental tire on the hatch, actually made the car look pretty cool. I would love to see a photo shop picture of one an a MINI.
