"Lloyd" is not only home, but fresh from the body shop!

Hey guys and gals,

MANY of you know about my last R56 "Howard" that I sold in anticipation of my Clubman that I ordered, that I ended up cancelling when it arrived. So I NEEDED another H/B. This time I am going with more of a racey type theme, vs the performance luxury theme of "Howard".

So this car started life as a Laser Blue / White Top car. Instead of waiting another few months, I called in a favor from my friend at a local body shop. Check out the results of a little paint and some GP wheels from "giuseppe" and for now I am off and rolling! Stay tuned for LOTS of mods to come!

Nice How did you get the temp tags? Thought you could not leave the dealer without plates?

Thanks for asking. MOST dealers in OR now have automatic reg at the dealer. BUT the State charges them (which then gets passed to you) so you can opt out. PLUS Lloyd is getting a custom plate.

Thanks again!

Also, Thanks to everyone that showed up at our Grand Opening! Lloyd was up on the hoist for people to check out the differences on the old car to new car, etc.

Thanks again!

Lloyd looks good with the painted black-out.

Are you going to do the belt-line?

It will be great to see how the mods flow on this one. Are you getting a dyno baseline for your performance parts?
