^^^Beauty!

 

I'll do a little pic whoring here, I will get some better DSLR pics rather than these horrendous iPhone snaps. My Cooper S now with KW coils on

 

Car came yesterday, cocomats came today. What timing! Don't know where the thread is but I've experienced the computer gremlins already. Went out to the store. Shut down, go in, come out, start up - all my presets are gone. Radio, instrument cluster, satellite and who knows what all. I was the only one in the car, only one key used.

 

Nice seats! And when you say only one key used, was the other key anywhere inside your car when you initially set everything up? Because the same thing happened to me. My MA and I set things up while we were waiting for the paperwork to be done. And unfortunately, we had both keys laying in the car. And if you read the manual, the settings assigned to a key fob are only activated when the car is unlocked using that fob. For me, I brought the car home and parked in my garage; did NOT lock it. Next morning, drove to work and everything was fine. Locked my car at work. When I unlocked it to head home for lunch, all my settings were gone, because the key fob I used was not the one that retained the settings.

 

Thanks! Yeah, we talked about you when I picked up the car and how I ran down there to see your seats before you even got to see them. One of the MAs wanted to see them too but your car was gone by the time he got there. I still really appreciate that, by the way.

Ya know, that could very well be. I've gone back and forth between the keys because one is attached to a purse but I just stuck one in my pocket to fiddle in the garage. I might have the keys mixed up. I'll give it a go tomorrow with setting up with my key and my key alone.

It's very "costly" to drive: I wanted to drive somewhere - anywhere - and ended up at The Container Store. A nice cross-town drive, but I can't end up there and not come out with stuff. Next time I'll have to go in search of a nice non-commercial country road.

 

Looking good!!
I hope I can sleep tonight
I know I have a 2 1/2 drive to the dealer, but I also have a 2 1/2 drive home,

 

I'm excited for you! We waited so long, I was actually nervous driving to the dealer (what if something is wrong, what if something's missing, what if the seats are too tight, etc, etc.) That's a long way to go, but you'll have a blast coming home! Can't wait to hear about it!

Boioioing.

 

I picked Norman up this morning. I'll get better pics when it's not raining.

 

Just painted the chrome trim..

 

It took a long time to get, but I finally have my car

 

*hangs head down from the ceiling*

Nice...

 

A little congratulatory drinking before taking the pictures

 

No I had a 2 1/2 drive from the dealer and I washed the car

 

We're talking about your pictures are all upside down

 

I did not post them upside down or took them upside down?

 

Yeah, you did.

 

Come on now, wtwien, fess up: what were ya drinking when you posted?

 

Yeah it's weird. All the thumbnails are correct, but looking at them full size they're upside down.

 

These pics made me smile. : )

Sent from my iPhone using NAMotoring

 

...And when you click on the quoted reposts, they are right side up. Very weird.

Nice ride, BTW, wtwien!

 

Really love the mods that I did to the car. It looks great. Just waiting to get some good black wheels and fix this goofy from end/bumper.

 

Looks good, any shots from the front?
