After seeing the new Sidewalk MC convertible recently, I’ve now seen the “night spoke” wheels, special on the Sidewalk MCS convertible:
Curiously, I like them less in person than in pictures! I had tried to get them as my GP winter wheels (because the coloring is similar to the GP wheel), but now I’m glad I didn’t – they look too “flowery”.
Apparently I’m not the only one that doesn’t like them – another Sidewalk MCS convertible there had different 17″ wheels on it …
This just in, and still being finalized – MINI of Peabody officially announced to me tonight their plans for a wonderful MINIsOnTop raffle prize:
Mini trip to England
We’ll put together a really nice package that will include the following:
* Round trip air for two from Boston to London
* 3 nights accommodations at a first-class London Hotel
* Private chauffeured car transfer to and from Oxford England and the Mini Manufacturing Facility (Oxford is approximately 60 miles from London)
[for more details of the factory tour, see: Pats write-up, MotoringFile write-up, or my trip in 2003)
* 1/2 day city tour of London
* Theatre tickets to a West End Show
More details to follow; the dates for this trip are not yet set but are expected to be Fall 2007 … and don’t forget, you’ll need a passport!

In other news, the buds are bursting on some of the trees – it must really be spring time at last:
