I do too, but COOPERation sent me this as the larger one. I need to take my signature and make it larger.

 

Hey, how many of your guys are going to go to MTTS Chicago? My wife asked me if I wanted to go up. Not sure if I should, but I was wondering if anyone from the "21" is going to go???

 

Okay, my wife posted my Clubman delivery on YouTube! Weird that I didn't look happier... I know I was on the inside!

Kinda funny.. and dorky....

Oh! And I have a problem already The firewall around the foot rest (left of the clutch) pulled away from the plastic panel on the left side (so you see the edge of the firewall panel instead of it being tucked behind the panel). I need to call the dealer....

 

+1 Not the best way to relearn stick on a new car... but no other alternative....

Joe! Love the Siggy! Coopernation did it? did you just PM him? I can't wait for Elphie to get here!! Almost there!

I think that she wants to name our MINI "Zippah." From what I remember it is from a Disney cartoon Chip n Dale's Rescue Rangers.... For some strange reason, we were talking about Monterey Jack cheese and this cartoon came up....lol

What do you think?

 

OK one more pic of my kids in the back with their Poochstyle cargo mat!

 

Reyd... Go into the General MINI Talk area and there is a sticky thread titled "what if...." and send COOPERation a message there. He took less than a week to repond with some sigs and the pic. Great dude.

Lady G... That is a great picture of your pups. What's their names? Beautiful creatures.

 

Thanks, Joe!

Names are Toby (yellow) Seri (chocolate) and Murphy (black)

I just rescued Seri from death row at a local shelter a few weeks ago. (my pets are always rescues.) Her fur is still kinda bleached out, from living a neglected life outdoors, but a few more months of living the pampered life with me will have her chocolate fur in perfect shape!

 

OMG they are all rescues? In a prior life, I worked for county government and I was in charge of the budget for animal control. One of the hardest things to do was go out there and see the pups and kittens. I wanted to take them all home with me...

 

Beautiful dogs Lady G!!

 

Yep! Too many homeless animals out there. I find my "kids" on Petfinder.com You'd be surprised at the most beautiful pets available. Can you imagine my Seri (that is short for Serendipity ) on death row? A 9 month old gorgeous, sweet, Choc Lab. There's no reason for it! OK I'll get off my soapbox, now.

Thanks for the compliments. I think they are pretty awesome too, but I am a wee bit biased.

 

I would love to get another dog but I can't. We have one. She's the bomb for us, but because of her situation (she's blind) we don't dare add a dog into our lives right now.

Her name is Rusti and her story is funny (kinda sort of). I'm a dog nut. I'll get down and play with them. My wife isn't so much like that. Well, I wanted a dog but she kept saying no. I'd name a breed (yeah, I was ignorant to the shelters, and rescues, but I've seen the light) and she'd say no. I got frustrated. Mad. Well one day my wife says to me (as she's walkin in the house) "want a dog". I gave her a dirty look, like "ya think!". Well, Rusti was across the street sitting in the empty lot. So for the next several months we fed her and talked to her until one day my wife got her to lay down and we put a collar on her. That was almost 8 years ago. She's our baby. I'll post a pic when I find one.

 

Here's my cutie at the dealer on delivery day!!!

 

I am hoping to make it up, at least for Saturday and part of Sunday. Have to convince the mrs. first

 

Love the car and the dogs. It's great how they match! My 14 year old Sheppard mix is shedding like mad right now so no car rides just yet.

 

Did you get a firm delivery date yet?

 

Bummer about the firewall, but the car is cool. How cool to have video of picking it up. The chrome scoop is very nice.

 

Being a good boy will waiting to hit 1200 miles for break in is killing me

It so wants to go fast! I have a short commute to work so I am looking for any excuse to run out right now. In fact I think I'll go give my neighbor a ride now.

 

Awwww that is so sweet!! Was she always blind, or did that come as she got older? How old is she? I lost my 13 yr old chocolate girl in January.

I cannot imagine my life without dogs, and I love having 3. I have a queen sized bed and they barely leave room for me! Wouldn't have it any other way, though.

 

Thanks!! yeah the shedding is a pain, but heck that's what a vacuum cleaner is for! Does he/she like to ride? 14 years old... wow you are blessed.

 

OMG look at that itty baby!!! awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

Ya, she's a tiny one! Only 4lbs, and almost two years old, she won't let me go anywhere without her, jumps into my purse and everything.... I have a car seat for her in my mini, she's too small to be loose.

Your dogs are beautiful! I have a chocolate lab too, her name is Lily, she's a runt though...quite small for a lab.

We actually have four dogs in total, Lily the chocolate lab, Bozlee a yorkshire terrier, Borris a Harlequin great dane, and Gabby, the maltese in the picture. All shapes and sizes Life definitely wouldn't be the same without them.

My first dog, Chelsea a golden retriever passed at 15 years old a couple of years ago. She was special, we always said she wasn't a dog, she really thought she was a human

 

Ha ha ha.... No! I'm on heavy medication right now....

 

Lady G.... This is Rusti... When she adopted us she had her sight. We don't know her age. I'm hoping she's no more than 11 cause I'm being selfish and want her to stay longer.

I'm sorry about losing your chocolate puppy... Dogs are the greatest!

 

Joe, Jessyca, your dogs are precious!

Joe! That still sucks that your MINI still isn't here...

 

We are blessed with her. We are actually her third family we got her when she was six. How anyone chose to give her up is beyond me. She is just incredible, never barks, unless you knock at the door, loves everyone, walks off leash and never strays. She gets a little car sick so short trips are best, but she even likes going to the vet which is good since she goes monthly for her arthritis shots. This car will really be good because she has a hard time getting in and out of the Pathfinder and my wife has a hard time lifting her.
