The Tit-Wagon and his Mini Adventures...
Well...'spose it's time for me to park in 'the garage' too...
The Tit-Wagon is: An '05 DS/B MCS with [what's marketed in Oz as the] Chilli pack - climate, HK, black rubber mats, cordoba interior, driving lights and phone prep.. Mods: Colour-coded aero kit Eibach springs Promini 15% pulley MTH Alta CAI Alta gauge pod Miltek Cat-back 17x7 inch Lenso RC-II (Advan RG-II copies) or Routecompany R90 fakies Kumho Ecsta SPT 205/45/ZR17 Autometer boost and water temp gauges Alpine IVA-D310 & iPod adapter 2 x Sparco Milano Alcantara JCW Alcantara/Leather 'fatty' steering wheel Whalen - plain lump-of-steel design! Audi TT Shift boot Tint Polyurethane numberplates Black M7 Strut brace Nology Plug Wires NGK BR7EIX plugs Lots of stone chips... and a home-made glove box organiser... Mods that have come and gone.. 18x7 inch Millie Miglia HT3's + Falken rubber White Rear Lenses, brake light and rear fog Alta 30mm lowering springs Toyo Proxes4 205/45/ZR17 88W tyres Sparco Evo2 bucket Merc C-Class stubby antenna (Alpine HU can't tune a radio station to save it's life) Plans: (fun-tickets pending...) Got an obx header sitting here in front of me (magnaflow cat on order) 2% crank pulley M7 aerogel header heat shield Pull the back seats out & make a rear-seat delete.... this is what it looked like when I first got it (in the beautiful Watsons Bay, Sydney Harbour):  had these ugly things on for a while:  and these sweet, but heavy, beasties on:  Night shots at the Australian National University    My interior...  round-abouts are fun...   What it looks like today:

Looking good! Gotta love the DS/B.
I wish I could switch my speedo and tach. It looks so sweet like that.  -G

Having said that, s-lites are pretty uncommon thanks to their unpopularity....  I don't think they look so bad...there are plans to relegate them to the corner of the garage, though...  BTW, the 18's came off becase the alta springs, combined with the 215/35/18 tyres made the ride horrific (Australian roads are third-world!!)...I sold the wheels and bought some eibachs.... I don't think I'll be going back to 18's....

I reckon this would be a good place to tell you guys about some of the Aussie events I got to....
Today we went to the annual German Autofest in Canberra....about 330 cars turned up - we had a small mini contingent there on the loose basis that the cars are owned by the kransky munchers... Really we just went because it makes us laugh that stacks of the old merc codgers mutter under their breath about us! haha.... They had a WV eos there too....pretty cool...  Anyway..here' the gallery... 2006 German Autofest, Canberra 15 Oct 06
