That doesn't show up correctly on my screen, Spa... and I think I would have liked to see whatever it was supposed to be.

Oh... now THAT I can see. LOL... tick tock is right. Not sure I'll get much sleep tonight.

Had a dream last night that I went there and my car was "inside out" so to speak. The White Silver was CR and the CR was White Silver. Looked pretty good but damn, quite a shock when I "saw" it like that.

Not inches... FEET ? They call that a sample ? Wonder what the minimum buy quantity is. Must have to buy it by the "football field".

Photos are a couple months old when the tank was fairly new. Looks a little different now and is fully stocked with 46 fish.

Looking forward to all the new pics to come!

We've been in Chicago testing hovercraft... There is a two seat model that only weighs 300 lbs (see pic) that I was tempted to hook up and tow home with the MINI to DC since it matches our CM. anyone want a towable all season toy to go with their fun MINI?

Meanwhile, waiting to see pics of the new Sat deliveries!

I run DC's water taxi system so we are looking at a bigger model for passenger transport. This one would be a personal toy. It replaces a Jetski, snowmobile and ATV since it can run all season. I'll be selling these little ones soon on the East coast. I'll have some demos in DC within the next 6 weeks. Come over and try them if you like. We can custom match the colors to your MINI ( even alien green haha )

When we get the samples back to DC ill get a photo shoot with the MINI, maybe we can have more MINI show up and have them model with the hovercraft hahha

I think I can safely say that's a phrase I've never seen on a MINI forum!

What's the price range of the two-seaters? I think I need one in Chili Red ...

Lol, one of the perks of owning a business, and they don't come as often as I'd like hahaha
The price point should be going down, but the two seaters (either tandem or side by side) are $30k
The bottom hull is kevlar, the upper is fiberglass. The skirt is self sealing. Amazing crafts. And yes, they can come in Chili Red.
Next, looking at how matching stripes would look

No pics from CR yet huh? Haha

I dunno - I'm still thinking he may be a forum stalker who really drives an old Geo Metro and just lives vicariously through us ...

He's probably on the road; it'll take about an hour and 30 minutes from his house to the dealership...and then it better take him like 4 hours to get home. There are some Greg back roads from Baltimore to his neck of the woods.

I agree with the travel time and great roads, but uploading pics from the dealership is easy

Not from the NAM app. It seems busted. Cannot upload pics from my iPhone.

Hey, 100% unrelated, but haven't I seen your handle on the Evernote forums?

My nam app works fine btw. Hit the + symbol, choose a pic from camera roll, insert, done.

My NAM app is working good, had to delete and reinstall, works now.

As for Evernote, perhaps.. I use the handle almost everywhere
