I was given a reprieve.....

Just some good ol heated debate over MTH.

 

Hey, Smiley and Henry, I blackened out the beltline today.

She looks much better now. Needs new rims, but that will have to wait until these tires crap out on me.

 

Looks good buddy

Now look into the black "S" decals for the side vents and the boot, another subtle change that does a lot.

Next thing you know you will be like me and trying to get rid of all chrome

 

Looking sharp! It is amazing what that little touch will do for looks.

 

Sorry I didn't get to make this post sooer, with Mothers Day yesterday I was working overtime around the house. She made me pay for the Mini order in March.
Anyway, looks like I might actually get my Mini by then. I have the route in my head, just have to pull the cords off my GPS from my Edelweiss trip last weekend... just will take me a bit longer.
It might even give me an excuse to hit the area up again before then!
Anyway, it's on my side of the border with Austria taking the Brenner Pass.
I'll keep everyone posted.
Abuzavi, looks nice! Here's a link to what Smiley was talking about. I bought the DS ones already for mine.

yup thems the ones Ornery, makes just enough difference to be noticed.

I love the look now just need to get the car clean again so I can get some pics up.

 

I ran into that site after looking for these: http://www.aestheticreations.net/gra...s-boothuge.jpg
I couldn't just have the front done. The old lady wouldn't let me order anything more until after the summer though...

 

LOL, I am tapped on upgrades for now as well. Just installed some new plugs and I think that will be teh last of it for a while.

 

It's not that Daflake, she's getting bent at the fact I don't even have the car yet and I'm ordering stuff.

 

Go ahead guys order what you want.... I wont tell I promise

Just be sure a little something comes my way

 

Doh!

I tried that and it didn't work.

 

You definetly work in aviation... Black market skills are a MUST! :p

 

Crew Thief

It is in my job description

 

Been there, done that...

 

I think we all did that -- especially the ordering before the car arrived. I had boxes and boxes and boxes. I had to hold back from doing the first mod during delivery!

 

Not I, mine was used when I got it and waited almost a year to do any mods.

Now that I think about it I am sure the Ex GF had a lot to do with that.

Something about me spending more time with the car than her

 

Re-read my post ... and I will no longer be giving any of you married guys a hard time

 

Ah, with age comes wisdom, young pad-wan!!

Cheers!!

 

Yeah, he'll learn (or be taught).

 

Pentagon Car Sales just sent me an e-mail. Firm production date FINALLY!! It's the 25th week, 18 June... which puts my MCS in my hands on 12 July.
No 4th of July run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My day WAS going well.

 

Oh, you'll be fine. Click on the photo in my signature block -- 14 July is the Black Forest run.

 

I'll see what I can do, right now I'm not making any promises around that time. My luck some Italian group will go on strike that week and I won't get my car.
I'll be there if I get my car by then.

 

OK, fellas. Ya'll've had your pulleys for some 10 weeks now and I'm curious to hear ya'll's thoughts on the whole deal as it appears there might be another party sometime. Smiley, I know your baby is enroute to the States, however, I was considering a 17%, so your response would be invaluable. Also, I was considering the Alta-nator pulley and would like ya'll's opinions, too, about this reducing excess engine wear. Daflake, how hard would that be to install along with the v2 pulley? Probably THE reason I was considering a 17 vs. 15 was the low end pull, especially in the first three gears. Remember, I've got these excellent roundabouts and just love to terrorize (greetings Meade!!) the Nederlanders in them. Are these realistic expectations? Finally, daflake, any possiblity to do a party then run around your place like the original event? Otherwise, I'll just have the 6 hour drive home to validate install!!

Cheers!!

 

If we did another party in Heidelberg, we could get Abuzavi to "create" a run as he does so well.

Also, on Pentagon deleviery date... Hang in there, usually they give a date that is far in advance of what it will actually be. There is a possibility that you will get it sooner as they really have no way to track the progress at Pentagon.

 

Thanks for the positive advice Daflake. I've been trying (I love sarcasm) to stay out of the forums lately. I'm just sitting back and waiting for the next 40 some odd days...
I got my boot stripes in yesterday from Aesthic Creations. So, I put another order in for my door sills. I'll post pics as soon as the MCS gets in.
Someone finally answered my post about the Aviano Mini Club so hopefully it'll get started up again.
