Hope Santa was good to everyone.
In my shopping adventures I picked up 3 MINIs.
1. a 1:43 scale E-Mini
2. a 1:20 scale RC - Yellow "ghetto-fied" Mini. (with spinners). I don't like it. I bought it because it was a Mini for my collection. Had there been another I'd have bought that too so I could destroy it.
3. a 1:50 ?? scale RC - Chili Red/W Union Jack Top

For my MINI I received car wash coupons and a 'Stubby' Antenna.
Plus an Oil/Air Change & Tire rotation.

 

*sound of crickets chirping*

A strange silence in this thread for almost a week. Didn't know we had so many snowbirds disappearing for the season.

As for me, I'm going to celebrate the birth of the mixdorfs R60 tomorrow.

That is all.

Carry on.

 

The birth of a new MINI is a very beautiful thing!

 

The only way it's more beautiful, is if it's your new MINI !

 

Saw this photo in the Des Moines Examiner.com...

...it's our very own Miah, manning the SA phone at MoDM.

 

Our very own R56MINICooper's Willie is today's "Garage of the Day" over on the Motoring Alliance site.

 

Yes! My new baby is now awaiting transport!

 

 

The excitement builds........ Anticipation...........


Can't wait to see your new addition when it arrives

 

Just logged in today and now "en route"!

 

Nice! Do you know what ship it's on?

 

I put a sanitized version of the "Wheel Quiz" from the last Meet-n-Eat up on the website under the Wig and Pen Recap post for those who might be interested.

Good luck!

 

When can we expect the EIM Calendar of Events?
Getting anxious for the Motoring Season.
Who's got a dirty Mini? Haven't washed for 3wks. Its Uber filthy!

 

So J'miah who grabbed the JCW 09 from under me ? local dude?

 

JPMM. Somebody from here in Des Moines snagged it. I guess this guy had been in 10-12 time to drive it and finally said he wanted to take it home.

 

maybe it was somebody else looking at it that got him off the fence!
Keep an eye on it, he might go into I don't want car payments anymore or its too small mode soon. If the former ,maybe he could trade down to a very well equiped 03 JCW

 

Gary,
Are you getting a new MINI? What's going to happen to Shadowfax?

 

Whoa!!!! Is it true? Adding a little Chili Red Color to your life??

 

Sorry! The little picture looked red. LOVE the Spice Orange!

How did you keep that a secret?? Congrats!

 

more like adding a turbo

 

Congratulations, Gary! You are certainly a good secret keeper! Can't wait to see it in person.

 

What???????????? When???????????? Tell us, please!!!!

 

January 27, I see. Wow! Where did you get it? Tell us the whole story from start to finish!!!!

 

That's right, spill the beans! And please tell us that Shadowfax is going to find a good home. He is 1 of 3 fabulous MINIs featured on this month's calendar page.

I gotta tell you, I think that Spice Orange is almost as nice a color as Purple Haze.

 

you gotta remember, he now has to wear orange shirts and pants
