The cold weather has now succeeded in closing the ice hole on our pond, creating instead an “ice mountain” where the water kept splashing up and freezing! The rest of the pond of course is frozen too, including the waterfall. Margaret went down on the ice to re-melt open the bubbler hole with hot water – we’ll see how long it can stay open this time!
After comparing the original and MINI Swag “GP” letters on GPMINIs hood scoop recently, Todd (of ToddsMods, MotoringBadges and WhiteRoofRadio) said he could make closer-to-original badges … so I ordered some and fitted them today – it took ages to peel off the MINI Swag letters (maybe it would have been easier if it wasn’t 20f!)
Here’s an animated photo of the MINI Swag letters, then Todds letters – sorry I haven’t taken a comparion pic of Todds letters to the originals, but Todd did and there’s negligible difference (sorry, I deleted the pic he took!):
Todd makes loads of other fabulous stuff too including a great MTTS magnetic badge that lives on my fridge – well now, it has company! Look at these amazing badges, a must for any enthusiastic GP owner 😉
Each magnetic badge is just less than 3″ diameter, as are these self-stick decals that Todd also sent me (last image).
I can’t find these designs on Todds websites but email him and I’m sure he’ll be happy to sell them to you 🙂
Thanks, Michael 🙂
