This thread just keeps getting more odd.

Welcome, Craig ! Please enlighten your wife that the MINI isn't a "chick car"... it's a COOL CAR !!

Ps. Interesting place to post your "newbie" introduction. What made you pick this very interesting thread. Do you know Tyler Wallace ? Have you seen him ?????

CHICK CAR!?

Kind sir, if by "chick" car your wife means, "will attract a lot of attention from the beautiful ladies"... then she, sir, is absolutely correct.

By the way, have you seen Tyler around?... he's still missing. Maybe you could look for him when you return to the dealer for us.

(oh... welcome to NAM too!)

HMM.. the plot thickens..

As Chili Red & Pepper White deduced.. it seems Dr Watson and Tyler are the same person! Or using the same computer.. or both.. or maybe Dr Watson is holding Tyler captive and he makes him post on NAM so we'll think he's okay

This is clearly an attempt to distract us from out search for Tyler by hijacking this thread and turning it into a "the mini is a chick car" flame war. Quite clever, I think we're up against more than we originally expected in our quest to find Tyler!

5 Hours And My First Faux Pas

I gather that the "chick car" reference was not appreciated. As I told my wife, when I want to look like a cowboy I'll drive my truck. Personally, I think the thing's a stud.

MC and My Wife

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Actually, the grief was more about buying from that particular dealership than buying the car. She decided that she was ill-treated by the BMW service manager once upon a time and it's been a vendetta ever since. Terrie’s people are southern Italian and they know how to hold a grudge. They store it away like a fine old Port, take it out from time to time to share it with the family, and pass it along to future generations. I personally have trouble staying pissed about anything for more than 15 minutes.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Trust no one. For all we know you are trying to distract us by noting the distraction...

Oh how frigging cleaver Polklifer (if that's your real name). I'm guessing you thought us Americans were too dumb to pick-up on your little ploy to distract us from finding Tyler. Didn't think we could figure out that an anagram for Polklifer is "REP OF KILL". So now we know that Tyler has been kidnapped by some organization named "KILL" of which Polklifer is a representative. Let's see K.I.L.L. what could that stand for?

Gentlemen, you have discovered me. I am indeed holding Tyler and will not negotiate his release until MINI NA determines why the "engine about to explode" light came on after a mere 340 miles of driving. I hope that they do so soon because Tyler is experiencing Stockholm Syndrome and frankly, he's becoming a pain in the ***. I didn't want a new best friend, just a hostage. He has also cleaned out my refrigerator and consumed all of the beer. Even when I lowered him into a dry swimming pool filled with spiders all he could talk about was his MINI.

Well, Craig, that's the first thing you've said in this thread that actually FITS the thread. CONGRATS !!

By the way, tell us more about young Mr Wallace. What kind of beer does he drink ? Does he prefer eggs or cereal for breakfast ? What color are his eyes ? We're DYING for more info on our new hero !!

And one last thing. How can you be upset that he's suffering from Stockholm Syndrome ?!?! We would give our bicuspids and our incisors just to have him post in this thread again. And YOU... you lucky bastad (English accent)... you have the honor of our hero wanting your friendship !!

I knew there was foul play. I bet he's talking your leg off.
Funny, now that I know where he is I have become strangely apathetic with his return.
Just be sure he is back in time for his wedding date in August at MITM.
Oh and Craig, are you feeding his dogs?

So, my adversaries reveal themselves! The English accent betrays you my friend. I have long suspected that Mr. Tyler was a spy for the Grand Lodge in London. Soon I will have proof.

Tyler’s story is an interesting one. Separated from his parents while on a spelunking expedition in his childhood he was adopted by a kindly mother bat Plecotus towsendii ingens (Ozark Big-Eared Bat).

Raised in near total darkness and immobilized by the build up of guano on his feet, he developed an acute sense of hearing that later allowed him to drive in complete darkness and diagnose engine malfunctions from nearly a quarter of a mile away. Mr. Wallace – if that is indeed his real name – demonstrated this uncanny ability by driving the getaway car to my lair while blindfolded.

Rescued by students on a high school field trip he quickly acclimated to the outside world and returned to his studies, eventually finding work as an acoustician for the Bose Corp. This is one of the reasons their product largely sound like guano.

But the story must pause for the moment. Tyler is demanding more Dinkel Acker and making distressingly suggestive phone calls to my girlfriend. I would place him in constraints but he has been so helpful with the housework.

Tyler has obviously been compromised and is therefore lost to us now so do what you will to him, but please remember to feed his dogs. You might also check in with his girlfriend from time to time. Please ask Mr. Wallace where he plans on registering for his wedding gifts and what his opinion is on re-gifting. (may finally be able to get rid of the singing fish wall hanging)

Yes, and please do just one other little thing for us:

Release Tyler from his physical and/or mental bonds at least long enough to visit this thread to inform us of his well-being.

I'm tired and I need one good night's sleep, free from worry for him and his dogs.

LOL. Tyler is going to think y'all are crazy when he comes back.
I think he knows we think he's missing though. Found this in his profile:
"Occupation:
The lost Boy."
