Sorry dude, I've gotten 64 phone calls today....just trying to keep my head above water. E-mail is always the best way to get ahold of me during the day time.

I just fired him an e-mail asking where he's located. He usually e-mails me back between 11pm-12am. Oh, so guess what I'm thinking of doing.....selling the Porsche & getting a Clubman! With the amount of money the CTT bleeds outta me, we could have an insane Clubman at 1/2 the cost. The airbag's throwing a fault & warning light for "brake service" is on the CTT, so I've gotta take it back to the shop tomorrow. This thing's getting completely outta hand. I'm still trying to get Jill to warm up to having another Mini though. Does anyone know how to get the best "drop" on a Clubman?

Think the following: pearl white with color-matched arches, blacked out chrome, blacked-out windows, slammed on 18's, M7 grill work up-front w/ CF splitter. I think that'd look pretty hot. I haven't found pictures of what I'm thinking of, so I'm pretty sure I'll be the first one down this road. I just gave Niello a jingle about timeline. Now I just need Cookiehead to relinquish the CTT.

Sell the gaz guzling Porsche, get the Clubman and then buy cookiehead a used 911sc available for around 10k in great condition. then she would at least have a "real" porsche. oh and sell that boat anchor corvette that is taking up space in your driveway youre a MINIman now

Well, my mom & dad are going to come to Fresno in a couple weeks to take the Corvette up to Sacramento for extensive work and storage. Soooo...don't have to worry about that one anymore. I saw a sweet Carrera 4S at Arcane Automotive yesterday. I didn't realize that model was a wide-body. In Guards Red it was sexxxy.

I agree that from the factory the Clubman is absolutely hideous. However, with what I have in-mind I think the end result would be cool, fuctional, cheap (compared to the current situation) & fun. The battle is not going well however. The quote was "just because you're a Mini Cooper person doesn't mean you can push that on me. " I'm trying to use the force young padawans.
