As of Tuesday, May 29, Sir Nigel looked exactly the same as last Monday....Just a bit dustier

. The parts arrived yesterday, and hopefully work began today. Don't have time to go visit him today, though.

Looking at those photos it is hard to believe that "Sir Nigel" wasn't totaled

I know, I know....
Everyone is telling me that, then I go and visit him at the shop and the guys there paint a totally different picture by telling me 'It looks worse than it is'....blah, blah, blah.....
I think they are just blowing smoke(you know, me being a girl and all...)
It comes down to how he drives when they finally finish.
Cheers,
Michele

Hey Michelle did you get to Universal MINI to look?

I'd like your opinion of the dealershio and their selection of cars.

Mark is VERY impressed.

I'm considering looking for a car for Diane.

Sir Nigel is still on 'life support'...I did go to Universal MINI last Saturday, but did not find what I wanted. I want an '06, MCS/manual. Would like a blue(Hyper??) with BLACK top. Or Pepper White/Black/MCS. Maybe even another BRG, but with Black top.
I'd like my next MINI to look low, mean and fast!! Still shopping...
Cheers, -M-
