over to the left under User CP & My Gallery etc. click on Sig-o-matic. It's pretty self explanatory from there. You can upload a picture or pull one from a webpage and add any text etc. into your signature. You can just copy the badge from my post and save it to your computer if you want.

Fedora lands in NYC today! I'm in Europe this week, which I think is making my waiting a bit easier. Still, I can't wait to get back this weekend. I hope that I can pick it up from the dealer shortly afterwards!

For those of us who have a Clubman that's landing in at the NY/NJ VDC - they've disembarked!!!!! The Fedora has now weighed anchor and is headed to Charleston next!

This thread will give you an idea of what's going on inside the VDCs: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=21112

The count down continues.

tugboatboy - I am jealous if you are actually on a tugboat! I've always been in love with the tugboats I see on the Hudson...it probably stems from my mother reading "Little Toot" to me when I was a little child.

Very exciting and thanks for posting about it!

That's what I always do but I'd never noticed the details of the the time! Ours must be twins - they were discharged at the same time.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Mine also was discharged at 8:10 - won't be long now!

But mine has also been listed in my dealer's on-line inventory for almost a week now (same VIN). Need to call my MA today to see what's up - maybe they are just hedging their bets... or wanted to have more cars listed... or it is standard practice...

Thanks Tugboatboy! Seeing a pic of the Fedora taken the exact day my Mini was delivered is special. Your Tugboat looks cool too! Looks like a fun job.

GREAT PIC!!! It's gotta be tough though knowing is was in there somewhere and you still have to wait. I just spoke with my MA and my "Quagmire"(GIGGETY GIGGETY) might be ready for pick up on Saturday!!! Just cause i'm from jersey. THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER!!!

Thanks so much for those photos, tugboatboy. Take care of yourself and enjoy the spring weather both aboard the Patrick J. Hunt and on land in your MINI>

I'm sure you see some breath taking and hair raising sights in your work. Thank you for shooting this shot of the Fedora and for posting a photo of your beautiful tug!

No problem, I'll be taking any of WW ships I see, for now I know how important is is to all of us.And yes Otra, it does get kinda ugly out there doing that kind of work. If I ever go up the Hudson I'll let you know, possibly you can see the Patrick in person from the bank take care and happy motoring to all !!
