i love dogs also. i always want to steal my friend's german shepherd/black lab mix. he's a sweetie but good guard dog. i got a cat due to not having a lot of time to properly train a puppy. my cat used to run with a previous roomie's 3 medium sized dogs (a mutt, english black lab, and border collie). he's learned a lot of mannerisms from them, for example: wagging his tail when he's happy, sitting in front me when he's begging for food.

Sounds like a cool cat, no pun intended. We're thinking of getting a pair of Brittany pups when we move to the Florida Gulf Coast next summer.

He is a very cool cat. Extremely social, very loving, comes when I call for him, understands "no" "come on" "down" "lay down", and lays down for treats. When I'm sick, he has this notion that laying on top of me while I'm in bed will help me feel better (15lbs + the ability to stretch to 3ft doesn't feel very nice).

Brittany dogs are so pretty. I would love a dog like that. Intelligent dogs are a plus.

I'm not a fan of yippy dogs but I would take a small terrier due to current living situations.

My apologies for not having seen your post earlier. #912 is available.
(I just added you to the updated list. Page 8. Post #310).

Let me see if I can find the thread that has all the badges in it.

Welcome to the Peerage of the Pepper White! You have a very simple, classy MINI. The Pepper White HT looks great without stripes, decals, or contrasting paint, Mike.

C995990,
Minibee has a page on CafePress where you can get all kinds of stuff with the designs from the badge post. No grille badges that I saw tho. I dont know how to cut & paste the link on my tablet, so, you'll have to google it.

Thanks guys

The wheels are Anthracite on the tire rack website (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...ted&tab=wheels) but listed as Titanium Tech on the OZ Racing website.

After visiting a few dealers and seeing the '14, I brought this home. Now I am enjoying trying to learn its capabilities. The search for this car leads me to believe that this color is not often found in this body option........at least I could only find one that was for sale. The dealers could find none, and that was OK by me.

I guess someday the pictures of my new Mini will show up here. Seems someone must "approve" the picture first.



Until then, just imagine a Pepper white hardtop.

My Roadster arrives at the Port of Baltimore Wednesday morning at 4:00 AM (about 9 hours from now)! The dealership is an hour's drive away. I hope the delay at the VDC isn't too long!
