Hey Gemmy-

I just thought of you the other day when I saw your name on my Pogo Friends list. How have you been? I've had a lot going on, some good, some bad, some we're not sure about yet. I hope all is well for you. Nice to see you were able to pull yourself away from the Free Classic Mini thread for a little bit!

 

Looking good Will!

 

Nice ride, minicooperwill!

 

sent you a pm!

 

Drove the new ride home yesterday and I love it. BTW it was me posting as Itsasecret, I was keeping the order a secret and yet I had to tell someone so I joined this group. It’s raining her today, but I’ll take and post pictures soon.

I added a sig pic.

 

AHA! VERY sneaky! But anyhow, I'm glad the secret is out, and I'm sure you'll love this car, if for no other reason than the fact that it is Sparkling Silver!

And hey, Booktrout, thanks for coming over and saying "hello" at AMVIV! It sure is nice to meet another SS owner in person!

 

minicooperwill,

_Yes, I am glad too. It helped that you posted a pic of your car @ AMVIV with your plates visible.
We made it to Escondido @3:00, left Vegas @ 9:00. Traffic was bad at times but not terrible.

That's all for now.

Robert

 

Two quick pics pre-mod.

 

I obviously forgot to join this club way back, glad it's here. Couple pics of my '07 SS MCS.

Btw, how do you put the SS Owner's Club badge graphic on your avatar / signature?

For those with black wheels I'm thinking about changing mine out, maybe with a red pinstripe on the outer lip. Suggestions on manufacturers? Styles? Vendors?

Thanks for any and all assistance, have a great weekend. Motor on..

 

I really like my Tenzo wheels, and I just checked on wheelsnext.com and they have some packages with black wheels with red stripes, tires and everything at a fair price. Mine are DC5 version 2, but if you go there and do a search you'll see all they have. They are fairly lightweight (not the lightest, but still much lighter than OEM), and are mid-range in price, and quite stylish. When you narrow your search down, let us know which ones you're considering and we'll chime in with which ones we like best.

 

Chris,

_ For my graphic in my signature line I just went over and got a copy of the image. So now I have the image on file I click on "sig-o-matic" of the NAM user control panel. It asks to use a photo and I just choose the image of the badge.

Motor on from Robert

You will love Black wheels.....it reduces your brake dust cleaning considerably....It also makes the car look a lot more grounded, almost like i got the body dropped...i have the factory Webspokes in blk....love em.

 

 

Took me a while to find the SS Club. Count me in from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - SS: few and far between here on the West Coast of The Great White North!

 

Hey Chris, nice to meet you and glad you joined us.
I read the artical in MC2 and thought that was very inspiring!
I didn't realize it is a SS you had until I just read your post and had to go find the magazine!
Welcome to the group! nice MINI!
I'm not on this much but check in every once in a while!

 

Just read this over on MF:

New colors: Spice Orange will be available on the Hardtop and the Clubman models., All MINI vehicles will also be available in British Racing Green II (which is lighter and closer in shade to the iconic British Racing Green of decade’s past), Eclipse Gray metallic (which replace Dark Silver metallic), White Silver, Ice Blue (non-metallic) and lastly, Velvet Silver (which replaces Sparkling Silver).

NOTHING can replace my precious Sparkling Silver.

 

Seeing as I just made mine a new badge I thought I'd share here!

 

Is anyone going to MINIs In the Mountains? One of these days we will need to get a Sparkling Silver group picture!

 

I'll be there. A Sparkling Silver group photo would be way cool.

 

Warren, what kind of wheels are those?

 

T8rchick, yes I will be at MITM's have a store there (silver creek)Will have the mini parked out front of the store all weekend. See ya soon. Marc

 

They are the Sparco drift wheels. Replaced the blue S center cap with black ones since thoses pics. Love the look of them.

 

yeh, those look great on your clubman.

i might get a set myself, black ones, but i need to find out how heavy they are. thanks for the info Warnen

 

We'll keep a look out for you both!
