My new flame...

Is it a woman, yeah right! No such luck at this point. After chatting last night I wanted to put some flames on my car. Now Taylor, I know I told you that they had to be painted on, but I think that this looks cool too.

The best part is, I can take them off and do them different every day if I wanted.

What do you all think?

Blake,

Looks very good, are they the same color as the roof? my old man eyes can't tell.

Are these off the cutting machine you were talking about?

Yes, they are white to match the roof. Yes again, I did them on Saturday and now I am thinking about doing more, much more. That vinyl cutter was the best money I have spent, oh, second only to the MINI.

Nice flames! Did anyone see Samuari Jack? The flames look like the bad guy's head.

Very interesting! I think knowing a guy with a vinyl cutter may expand my horizons!

More to follow, Blake...

Blake,

I'm thinking I want to swap out the Vinyl "Works" that is currently placed on my side stripes and replace it with the word "Mini"

The space between the side stripes is 3" high and 10" wide. Currently the word "Works" (5 letters) is in script (cursive) and I think I want a more modern font.

I also want it in Red (like the "Works" is now).

Any chance you could play with a few ideas and I could do it with you instead of ordering online?

(We can take this to PM or discuss via e-mail if you prefer).

Taylor
