Is your mini a cop magnet?
I have had graphics on my mini S for a while (vinyls) and recently changed them to something more hip. However since then, I have been stopped by the cops 3 times and given a ticket 2 times. One time I got a ticket for speeding (racing really) and the cop added a no seatbelt charge just to **** me off. The second time I got a warning because I was one block away from my house. The third time I got the ticket even though all the other drivers on the freeway were going the same speed as me.

4 momths, 2 tickets and a warning. Anyone else having issues like that?

nice looking car! but i have to agree, if you were driving with a seat belt on he probably wouldn't have slapped with you with a ticket. but i can also understand your being annoyed at being pulled over when going the same speed as surrounding traffic. just a sacrifice you have to make for standing out!

My car is more of a chick magnet. Maybe you should think about trading it in for a HB/W one with viper stripes?
