Oldsbear - gotta love acronyms. It is not high frequency in this case. I just used the same name as I had on the RX-8 club (easier for me to remember). I had two other meanings in mind: primarily, human factors (my profession) and secondarily, high fidelity (a passion).
All highly respectable HFs! Glad you're in the group and hope you are enjoying your new MINI!
My daughter's friend might buy the black R50 at Dauhl(?) Ford in Davenport Iowa, so we might have a new member Will keep you posted, and have her get on the NAM
We saw a a sharp looking MY/B with black bonnet stripes in Cedar Rapids about 9:15 pm Saturday evening, on Collins Road just east of the Rockwell-Collins complex. Gave the ol' but it was too dark to see an acknowledgment.
Black R56 south side of Iowa City yesterday before we got our 10 inches of snow. I was in the Jeep so you probably missed me. (but I waved for the heck of it)
Yellow with Black Bonnet Stirpes spoted south bound I-380 today at 12:30ish. I was on my way to work and waved, they waved back. If your out there let me know
Also (since i'm at work and watch cars drive by) pepper white MINI just drove by my work (sears) at 3:43! didn't even stop in to say hi... what a nice driver...lol
about 2 weeks ago my locks froze I got the working again however from the inside the handle doesnt work at all. The bowden cable is detached from the acutator and with the limited space (about 3 inches) I cant figure out how to attach it again.
also the passenger side actuator motor has been not working for a couple months so that just needs replaced.
For the moment I have to roll down my window and open from the outside of the car, (thank god it is a small car with a well placed outside handle)
I saw a blue R56 MCS at the Plasma Services place on Brady today. It had black "viper stripes" and looked like it had the JCW package (it had black multi-spoke JCW rims). I tagged it with a Projekt German card and if he joins there Ill refer him to this place.
so, as i was going to lunch i happend to "run into" a 2006 MINI COOPER JCW at the car wash. The guy lives here in iowa city/ coralville.... asked if he was part of the group and he said no... i told him about it and that we try to go to events and what not and he said he would check it out. awesome or what??!!
Here i am standing at work and right in front of me (at the gas station) a red MINI with a white top pulls in to get gas... shortly after it leaves and drives right in front of me out onto 965. didn't get to see which way it went from there but. time was 4:50 pm....
Saw a Red Mini with White top and stripes at the intersection of Burlington and Riverside. Younger guy driving it, waved but he didn't wave back :( (was out washing Walt yesterday, good thing it rained snowed all over him today...)
On my way home from frisbee-golf in this beautiful weather i had another mini somewhat tailing me on first ave/morman trek. Pepper White with black bonnet strips.
