This cult is scary....

I just got my first wave. Actually two. Both Mini S in Red with White tops and bonnet stripes. Different cars though, since they were behind each other. I could help but grin!

Also ordered my first mods this morning. AutoUp and Third Brake Light Dazzler (I hate tail gaters!)

All with 300 miles on the little girl, whom I have named "Rocinante"

My Jeep never made me feel this good!

I have also spent almost all of my waking (non-driving) hours here at NAM. What a great group of people!

I am so glad I made this decision! Thanks all

Just pulled the trigger and ordered a Pepper White/ Black Roof cooper S last night. I ordered from Flow Mini and had a prety good experieince so far.

I had been reading last week was the last chance to order a car so I started looking at what was on the dealers lots and what was used. I went by teh dealer to look and talking to the MA I found out that they had the ability to order a couple more. Of course, I went and ordered the car I have been wanting ever since they came out.

Now I just need to get a contract on my house (not selling for the car, LOL. I moved to NC and have had several close calls but nothing yet).

Anyway, hi can't wait to get my prduction number and especially delivery of the car!!!!

Hunter99 - congratulations and welcome to the "family"... we don't invite you to the animal sacrifices and other secret rituals until you actually take delivery - don't want to scare off the pledges...

I'm a happy Flow customer - they took good care of me.

Rocinante? I hope your MINI's more beautiful and reliable than that old mare that Don Quixote rode around on. Welcome to the tribe, I see that some of our sentinals have already spotted you and given you the proper salute.

CULT? How about "MINIacs!!!"

It will be hard for you to keep the grin off of your face . I still grin everytime I get in the drivers seat.

That "old mare" is the most loyal of all horses. I had originally chosen "Dulcinea", but my girlfriend, Dulcinea, pointed out that that was her name.

So, Rocinante!

My Front plate says QUIXOTIC. Now if I could figure out how to mount it.

its the brake light that replaces that honeycomb piece in the rear bumper, and when you step on the brakes it flashes a couple times, so the person behind you thinks "wtf is he doing?" and backs off

Yep, scarry indeed. Be sure to avoid the grape coolaid at the cult gatherings. You can never be too safe, --them terrorists are everywhere! Just ask the Prez, he'll tell ya(!)

Mine's mounted with double sided automotive 3M tape I got at AutoZone. Many fellow NAMers recommended this in order to avoid drilling holes.
El Kabong's plate has been on for almost a year, no signs of letting go!

I prefer to think of myself as an "enlightened one", not cult-like at all .
Oh, and Welcome to the fold!
