Molly has arrived!! @ the Dealership that is. A nice you man took us in a BMW to their Holding Area a couple miles away, BUT Molly wasn't there. She WAS sunning herself on their Roof Top Lounge!!
Got pics. but can't figure how to load them into my Gallery or into a post, HELP!!!

 

First resize the pictures for the web. I use HP software, but Picasa or any other photo software will do it.

Go to your gallery listed on the left hand bar of the main NAM page

Click on Upload Photos in the upper right hand of your gallery.

Find the location of your pics on your computer and load 'em up.

Can't wait to see Molly.

 

I'll Gotta' get that Pre-Delivery Inspection Sheet in Pdf form, know where I might find it??

 

Congratulations on Molly. How exciting!!!!!!

 

Can't wait to see pictures of the new arrival! Welcome, Molly! For the pre-delivery inspection sheet, you can search our thread going back to mid-late August 07 or early Sept. 07. I THINK we linked a prior NAM posting. Or do an advanced search with the delivery and inspection as key words. Some threads may have been posted as stickies. Good luck!

Had a nice breakfast with the MINI club Saturday. No wind, mid '80's and clear. PERFECT day!

Almost done with the taxes-our awesome preparer is finalizing all our paperwork today for signatures.

I noticed that Tagus is departing again soon, and there is a new group that is starting. I'm glad this thread was so clearly marked from the beginning!

I hope everyone has a great day and week. Our school Talent Show is this Friday, and this is the last year I'm in charge. Whew! After 8 years, it's time to pass the torch.

 

We had a perfect Saturday but are now back to cool and rainy. What a great day it was!!

8 years as the head of the talent show. ARE YOU CRAZY??? From my end it was nothing but a headache until we got to see the kids up there doing their thing. You are a better woman than I! (I hope so. )

 

So now it looks like a definate Saturday Delivery. As Mini2na has noted the Weather up here in the PNW is NOT ideal Brand New MINI Delivery Weather. I was trying to get a Thursday Delivery since it is supposed to be in the Low 60's. The Dealer cannot get the ClearBra done in time, so we will be taking Delivery in the Mid-40's. UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!

 

Mini's are fun in any weather!!!

 

Frodo should be coming home today. I can't wait!!!

 

Good ole Frodo!!!!! Give us the skinny when you see him!

 

Yay Frodo. . . back in the fold again!

RJ- Picking up Molly in cold weather is perfect! You can test the cold weather package, and keep your feet REALLY warm with the heat on.

There are 2 local MINI events this summer. One is 5 miles from home in June, and the other (to fill the Rose Bowl with 1000 MINIs) is in August. Lots of summer fun just 47 days away plus some. Not that I'm counting. Nope. Not me!

 

I'm worried more about the wet roads and the Performance Tires. Luckily it should be fairly light traffic being a Saturday. 9:45AM is Delivery Tme!!

 

Frodo got delayed a day. I did not want the tech to rush anything. I can't wait anymore.

RJ - Performance tires in the NW.... They talked me out of them at the dealership. Said I would be sorry unless I was going to purchase a second set of all season's for the other 300 days a year. In the dry though you'll pull away from me on a corner every time. Did you get the pick up list in your personal email?

 

Molly will just have to stay home those days I don't feel comfortable with her out in the COLD!! But I liked the look of the Performance Tires, so I got them. I know I'll be replacing them sooner or later.
Mini2na I was not able to open the doc., but I've created an Excel and Word doc., so I should be set...thanks for the help!!

 

Frodo is back and as good as new. I can't wait to wash him so I can look him over REAL CLOSE.

The black scoop looks great.

Now I have to wait 90 days to wax him again.

 

Yay Frodo! Glad he survived his time away from home PICTURES OF THE SCOOP, PLEASE! I'll bet it looks awesome with the bonnet stripes!

 

Hey Gang...I've FINALLY uploaded some Pre-Delivery pics. of MOLLY in my Gallery!! Take a L@@K!!!

 

Oh, she is a beauty!!! I love the crispness of the blue/white combo. It's cool that we all have such different MINIs!

Congrats, and stay sane until Saturday!

 

She is gorgeous! I'll be looking for you on the roads. I'll be the sparkling silver one with the BLACK scoop.

I should be able to wash Frodo today and take some pictures. I'll post them soon. My wife would NOT take Frodo out for a drive. I will give her some time and eventually force her back in if she doesn't do it on her own. She loves to drive Frodo!

Careful on Saturday. I heard snow could hit the valley floor in the morning.

Hey everyone. I'm on to the electrical portion of the project. After a bid of $3000, I decided I'd better do it myself so I can buy those speakers. I can't have our Subaru sounding better than Frodo.

 

I'll be careful Mini. When we went on our Test Drive we drove up into the West Hills w/6" of snow on the ground, so I know Molly will be able to handle it, I'm worried about ME!! I'll be driving like a "Little OLD Lady"!!!

 

I don't know about the "little old lady!" There's something about a MINI that brings out a hidden side to driving, at least it did for me. . .

in my Saturn I'm really laid back, blend into traffic and drift along. Scoop demands to be in front, speeds up to take advantage of gaps, and will let the car in front of her know they really should move over!

Be aware. . . be very aware!

Mini2Na- 3k for electonics!!!!! Wow! Don't forget. . . pictures of the new black scoop. . . the chrome scoop is how Scoop got her name

Kim and Minicounter. . . taxes finally got done a day early! Yay me! Our preparer is a friend, so she overcharges my hubby by the same amount a nice massage and lunch out costs, and treats me Can't wait!

 

Income taxes aren't my problem, but payroll and sales taxes sure are (and a lovely thing called B&O taxes up here in WA.) I am done with them though. Now, I am just waiting for Spring with nice sunny weather for some good motoring. Hopefully soon. (Not this weekend though )

 

RJ, you had a great day to pick up Molly. Cool, no rain.... a perfect day for motoring in the NW. I hope Molly is with her family by now.

 

Right after I say, "A perfect day for motoring in the NW", we got a 1/2 inch accumulation of hail. Small stuff, looks like snow on the ground. This is some wacky weather.

 

Mini and Gang...YES Molly is HOME!!! Tucked away nicely in the garage, we just made it home before the hail started.
The Delivery/Post-Delivery experience was Great!! Only problem was with the Cleanlisness of Molly, dirt on door panels, BUT we did get Carpeted Mats!!
MA did NOT go over the intriquettes of the car so this afternoon I was hunkered down INSIDE Molly and trying to get things set up. Not much Luck unfortunately, oh well, there's always tomorrow.
Hubby is assigned the Universal Garage Door Opener. He's now looking at our Manufacture's Website.
Also not much in the way of after Delivery Pics. I should be able to take more tomorrow...You have to see her New WeatherTech Floor Mats fit like a glove!! Bought the Union Jack Boot Box (for Hubby), but taking it back, flimsy lid and does not fit w/Boot Liner (also bought), Bulldog Keychain (for ME), and Union Jack Valve Caps (for Hubby)!!
