OK, for those who said retro, here's mine from a LONG, LONG time ago.



Sorry for the poor quality, scanned from a very old photo.

You can almost make out the accent from the final é in the window sticker.....

Sorry it's not a Mini but I could make this a bit faster at the time....

All old cars look awesome with a set of spots on them. *happy*

New cars don't seem to have anywhere metal to bolt them on!

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Yes it is, but way back then, Chrysler (Europe) owned the Rootes Group (Hillman etc.) so it was effectively a Chrysler brand.

Just like today I could legitimately put a BMW sticker on a 1970s Mini as BMW now own the brand:)

Also, I always wonder how many people on the different forums think I'm a woman because of my name. I don't think it's an issue here but most Americans won't see it as being the French name for John instead of the English female name.

You're a man? well that's ruined Nic's chances!
