Linda!

Now those were some pipes!

I saw Linda 3rd row center in concert once and that little girl's voice knocked me back in my chair!

She is also on my IPOD for playing through the Harmon Karden in Driver mode.

Anybody for a favorite Linda tune?

For true Linda, nothing beats her Simple Dreams album! Blue Bayou still makes me, er, swoon. I was very disgusted with her pairing with that Nevil guy and why would she choose Jerry Brown over me?
My wife was told up front on day one that I would leave her for Linda given the opportunity - funny she didn't see that as a real risk.

yah, my G is hibernating, my MCS is out and about on dry days on the
weekend but getting salt dust all over.... so no detailing for me for a while
other than normal Speedshine/SprayOn wax.

i haven't washed my commuters the last 2-3 weeks.

For me, Don't Cry Now was my first exposure to Linda-Classic Stuff. Love Has No Pride ranks up there with the best. Glad to see she is appreciated in the MINI world!

wait, are we talking about detailing in winter or talking about having affairs?

either case, no go.

ps: i have to remind everyone that BlackWow has been great on my arches.
i can use my calduster over them like the rest of the paint. this
is a HUGE deal.

I would never have an affair with Linda - it would be full on romance.

I'd have to scrape ice right now to see if a California duster would work on my trim after the BW.

I just did my new car a few weeks back... Even though the car was basically new (only 5700 miles on her when I picked her up), and had been professionally detailed several times by the previous owner, the Porter Cable, Detailers Paradise products and Black Wow still made a noticeable improvement. Well, noticeable to detailing freaks like me anyway:

I think you found a suitable replacement for Nano! Very nice but I think those wheels would drive me nuts unless I got replacement brake pads.
Great photo too.

They're actually LOTS easier to clean than the S-lites that came on my orange car, since I can get my hand into them, and a bit better than my X-lite winter wheels (put on right after these were taken). As soon as I get out of my MINI Service Warranty period, though, I'll probably go the Green Stuff route, yeah...

Just avoid any CURRENT pics of Linda... much better to remember her like she was... now she's old and fat... just like me... and some of YOU....

But, yeah, I had a thang for her in the early 70's... unfortunately she never came by to pick it up...

Let's start a petition. Because I thought the same thing. Ken's gonna have to do a lot of mendin' to fix my opinion of him now. And I'm positive he's gonna lose sleep over that tonight.

Azzclown. Britney my big ole butt.

LOL too funny.

it was meant to be more of a reference to popularity in the old days,
but you two don't fail to always take it the negative/wrong way.
perhaps you should take a break from NAM for a few months and
come back with a better open mind.
