Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, liquor I'll have to see if I can get Terry to play hookie from work(hair salon) Having a new chariot in the garage is gonna make it hard for me to concentrate on glass and pottery, especially with the MINI parked a few feet from my work stations. I REALLY, REALLY wanna tinker with the car... must resist urge... have to make... Porcelain vase... my will... is breaking...

Used? No, not used, experienced. Great looking MINI and welcome to the Birmingham Area MINI Association (BAMA) fold. When you have an opportunity, send me your email address, names (first and last) and cell phone numbers to Uncleharo@yahoo.com. We use the phone to call ya in case we are ready to leave for a ride, you have indicated you were going to go, but not arrived by leaving time. Just checking and not wanting to leave without ya. You should really try to make the whiskey run, riding with other MINIs is fun, as well as meeting the other MINI owners. Hope ya can. See ya motoring around.

Welcome to NAM! I like the stripe on your MINI. It's nice to see something different than the standard two bonnet stripes for a change.

All Minis are good looking, but yours is really sharp--love the bonnet stripe! Welcome and enjoy the ride!

Thanks guys, the stripe&logo was a dining room table project...



...The pictures do it waaaaaaaaaaay too much justice. The stripe looks good, but the logo turned out crappy. It's a 50/50 job: 50ft away at 50mph, it looks REAL good It was a helluva lot easier to create and install than Amelia's S&S decals(see Roadster Pages). The good thing about having a used, uhmmmmmmm, experienced car: I don't have to baby the car during the break-in period. I tossed it around a soon as it left Tom Williams' lot I'm was surprised at how much firmer(sportier) the ride is than either my Z3, or the Z4. Excellent balance and footing in curves, and almost no torque steer under hard acceleration. I'm sure Gerald, at Momentum Motorworks is gonna luuuuuuuuuuuv doing inspections under that seriously cramped hood I'm gonna make a run to Home Depot this weekend and get supplies for the DIY cupholder project :smile:
