I had never imagined myself owning a Mini, I wanted a sports car, but it was a lot of fun for a few years.

Here is the before look.

Interior Trim painted

Finally, because I'm a complete guitar and music fanatic, I went back to the vinyl wrapping shop. I found this great photo of Bo Diddley. Everything you see that's blue was actually red in the original, but I photoshoped it to blue - as close as I could get to the exterior paint. They painstakingly cut it out so it wouldn't simply be a photo on the car.

Bo Diddley's guitar sound and rhythm style profoundly influenced rock music. If you aren't familiar with him, this is his song done by some of the best rock player around.

I wanted to honor the great bluesman Albert King, so I decided to put a Fender Flying V guitar, which he made famous, on the roof. The only people who saw it were the truckers and SUVs I passed.

If you aren't familiar with Albert King -- well without him, it's hard to imagine Stevie Ray becoming the fantastic guitarist he was.

After a few years a sports car came on the market that met my needs, so I said good bye to my Clubman.

So there you go, cars and music!

Thanks for stopping by
