MF Desktop Wallpaper Collection – 2nd Edition

Here is the second wallpaper in the MOTORINGFUN.com Desktop Wallpaper Collection. It is a picture of my friend Greg’s 2006 MINI Cooper S named “Earl”. Earl is sporting an M7 front grille assortment along with an M7 carbon fiber front splitter. The hood scoop is a custom job that was made by hand. Wheel arches and aero kit painted to match the body color. I may just have to invite Greg to post a full review of all the goodies he has added to his ride. Well enough about all the details…. let’s see it! I call this one “My Name is Earl”.

MF Desktop Wallpaper Collection Debut

Yesterday I attended the Fox Lake British Car Show presented by the MG Car Club of Florida. The event was held in Titusville, Florida, and it was an absolute blast. As soon as I get a chance to sift through the hundreds of pictures, I will post them here, so you can see the awesome variety of British car history that was present. There was even a not-so-historical 2003 MG there! VERY cool stuff. Anyways… we managed to get a few of the MINIs (and Minis) together for a group shot by the lake. The photo shoot gave me an idea for a MOTORINGFUN.com Desktop Wallpaper Collection. Tonight I would like to present the first in the series – “Minis at the Lake”…

Counterfeit MINIs

This little bit of marketing genius is just brilliant! I could not stop laughing the first time I saw it a year or so ago. Basically, it is a commercial for MINI’s but done in a way that looks like a commercial for a DVD on how to spot fake MINI Coopers. Complete with “victims” who have to hide their identity because they bought a MINI for $1200 off Ebay and thought they would be ready to “Motor”! There is even a website set up dedicated to the “Counter Counterfeit Commission”: [ Counterfeit MINIs ]

MINI wins another title at Targa Newfoundland

A stock JCW MINI Cooper S won in the Open Division of the Targa Newfoundland rally for the second year in a row. It was up against some cars with a few more modifications. In fact, the MINI was the only true “stock” car in its class. Sure says something about the little car. For a great recap, check out MotoringFile.com. Videos are coming soon. As soon as I find one I will post to one. You can also check out MINI.ca for a bunch of Targa goodies.
