If the list on the front page is current, I'll take #114 please.

Thanks!

Soop, you need to look at Post #2064 in this thread for the full Peerage listing. You'll see that Argencooper already has a firm grasp on #114. Looks like #124 is the lowest value integer still available, but you're free to choose anything that's not spoken for.

Thanks! I like yours too! Did you paint all of your chrome pieces or is there another way of doing that?

The Aero grills are OEM, as are the fog light surround inserts; the bonnet scoop is painted satin black, and the headlight rings are double-wrapped satin black vinyl. Also, my boot handle is black Plasti-dipped, and I have vinyl inserts on the rear Aero bumper cover from MINI Pirate. I guess I've done it just about every way imaginable.

Thanks Gil!

Maine Coons are awesome. We've a Seal Point Siamese (age 7) and a one-year old Jellicle "Tuxedo" cat we saved from a barn -- both girls and both sweethearts.

You might enjoy this thread; I've posted pics of both in there somewhere:

Now, back on topic. I also need some new pics of Shadowfax to capture all of the recent mods, but I'm waiting until the summer wheels/tires go back on. Maybe mid-March if I get brave.

I too have rescued "Tuxedos", in fact 2 litter-mate brothers. Ok, this is not a cat or pet thread, but maybe it's because of these 2 felines I purchased a Pepper White with a black roof,and black striped MINI, who knows. Bottom line there is a common denominator. Pehaps if there was an oxygen blue, or mellow yellow cat, I would have a different MINI.

To speed your application up, you need to research this thread, and request a PWOC number that's available.

I'm sure the "Grand Poobah" will review your application and get back to you soon. I want to thank you personally for your photo gallery. I really enjoyed viewing ALL the photos. I think my favorite was the one from Texas with the bull horns.

I'm sure if the number is available the "Grand Poobah" will approve your request, and I'll be proud to be a member of any club you belong to.

Thanks, iamsteve710. She is a really funny lady. The MINI USA Owner's Lounge, which I am a regular, has some really fun people. The lady in the UT Cooper S covertible is one of them.

Albie, it was a beautiful day for motoring up in the snowy mountains of the Gila National Forest. The monster power of my new S and the Gila National forest was the inspiration of course.

I love this site and I spend way too much time on it, it's addicting. But IMHO I think, even including those that do lots of performance mods, there's a common denominator...... a great sense of humor.

And a fine number it is...even more so that now you are the sole owner of it. Glad to have you in the Peerage.
