Welcome Fab I can not count how many times I went over the Brenner to Trento and Bozen with my Buddy back in my full Hair Days. Holidays in Italy taking the Hippy Cruiser RV to the beaches in Italy and my Buddy driving for FERCAM out of Bozen. Love Italy.

Buongiorno Fabrizio!

I just joined the forum yesterday and have yet to set my profile. Still, your post brought back memories of being in Northern Italy last September. While there, we rented a Fiat 500 (diesel) for our time in Tuscany, which was a tremendously good decision. We returned assuming we'd get an Abarth or a Mini. We ended up going the F56 route (in the past month) which, in the end, was a pretty obvious choice for us (I had a 2004 MC, which I loved); a decision made easier as I have two friends with Abarths, so I can car swap whenever I want.

About your Italian Mini obsession... I saw few (none?) on our trip. How popular is the car in Italy? I would love to magically transport my MCS to Tuscany!

Buongiorno Doug,
Like in US u can see a lot of MINIs expecially in a big town like Milan or Rome... Anyway MINI here is very very popular... more or less like the Fiat 500 as well.
Also in US i saw a lot of MINI in San Francisco, Miami, LA or NYC...
One of my dream would be drive with my MINI coast to coast.. maybe one day !!

My MINI got the dealer today, so just few days to instal some US parts and have my licence plate !!!

I cant wait

Awesome. I like the rebel green with black roof and de-chrome!

Looks great, so for all intents and purposes you are running 18x8 et35 (with spacers) with no rubbing? Is this lowered on the eibachs yet, i really like the wheel gap and with coils coming im trying to get an idea of what width/offset of wheels i can get in there without interference.
