A thin, black pinstripe along the outside edges should fix that. Boy, you're picky.

Understood, Zippy. If you lived within 200 miles of me, I'd take you.

Oh, I'll bet I do - I just had the Xpel on the hood replaced, because there were a couple of places where there was dirt under it.

On your brand new MINI ?? That's unacceptable and I would certainly have done the same thing.

I'm going to make a 75 mile trip to my dealership to talk to the graphics guy and the clear bra guy when my MINI arrives so they know that I want my stripes to end about 3/8 of an inch from the both edges of the bonnet so the clear bra extends over the edges by about 3/16 of an inch. Taking no chances having my MA explain it to them. But no... I'm not picky.

And you'd never guess he has never had a photoshop lesson in his life either.

It would be a blast going with you to get your MINI. And you could let me negotiate your final price and have them throw in some accessories. I negotiate for a living.

Not sure how you control your urge to go get it... hitchhike, catch a bus, hop on a train, crawl....

I'll send the artwork to your dealer so he can duplicate the design on your car. No charge for you, but if anyone else here wants similar car art, they'll have to pay for it.

I have no doubt your mind has been running 500 mph trying to get to your dealership. Hope Friday works out for you... would make for a VERY fun weekend !

You are an incredible friend, Spa. But alas... you are too late. I emailed it to my MA just a few minutes after you posted it yesterday. Oops... you didn't have it copyrighted, did you ?!

Don't worry about the legalities and the countless hours I spent perfecting the artwork, CR - once my design is on your car, we'll take some pictures and use them on the Spa Design website and in the brochures.

According to this document, the Tiger's haul this trip consists of:
  • 1,897 vehicles total (not sure why it says this as the next 4 lines below add up to 2,250)
  • 1,385 BMWs
  • 692 Minis
  • 1 Rolls Royce
  • 172 HH (whatever an HH is?)

Interesting, E. Trying to figure out what HH stands for, too. Not like it's unusual given the number of vehicles on the ship.

Uh, guys - "HH" stands for "His Holiness," as in the Pope. Apparently he's traveling incognito on the Tiger with his entire entourage. Is it be possible that the next Popemobile could be a Light White MINI?

BTW, is this how rumors get started on the Internet?

I wonder if HH means manual transmission? For a while, I thought the site's logo was an HH with a circle around it until I realized that was the gear pattern and that was the top of a shift ****. Maybe it is telling the crew how many manuals it must contend with.
