Dr.Steve, did the appraiser call &/or come by? Thanks for passing on the binder I put together.
Yes, he came by. He was impressed by your ultimate mod.

Yep. I think this is one of the Bond Mini cars in Japan. I've seen their bumper before, but didn't really care for it. However, on this car it looks totally bad azz! Oh, did you remember to give the guy my binder?

Of course I remembered. I still think body colored trim makes the MINI look fat.

I agree 100%, but on this car I think it totally works. I'd diggin' the front quarterpanels, debadged look & even the funny little "piggy" side windows look cool.

So when do you receive your new MINI? We need to check it out so you drive it for awhile before it gets personalized. Has your insurance company decided on the value of the carcass yet? The mods shouldn't make that much difference since most of them were destroyed with the rest of the car.

It should be here on Friday sometime, so I'll bring it over when I get it. It's already insured, etc. etc. I haven't heard back from State Farm yet. I overnighted a copy of the binder I put together to my agent & to my vehicle claims lady, so everyone has all pertinent information. We'll have to talk about what we're going to do with the carcass once I hear back from State Farm. Keep Dave in your guys' thoughts cuz' he still has a tough recovery period.

How is he doing? Is he at least up and around with his arm strapped across his chest?

He's doing tons better. Staples are out of his head & he's up-&-around with his arm strapped to his chest. Sometime soon he'll need to start physical therapy, but I know it takes awhile for bones to knit.

You know, I'm excited I guess....sorta. This is bittersweet. I loved my Frackmobile & never would want any pain/suffering to happen to anyone. Knowing my buddy's laid up makes this whole thing hard to swallow. I'll be a happy camper when he's back to work & his family can get back into their regular routine.

For the right amount of moolah I can find you a few witnesses that will swear they see you all the time at the track.

Officially, it's going to be "Fracky part deux" but I'll still call it my Frackmobile.

So I'm going to make a lot of money putting on and taking off all your mods for track days.

Yeah, yeah...that's totally the case. I mean we're a super-concientious group always running CARB on the street & only saving the non-CARB for the track.

Most definitely yeah. With that extra money you could make the track-day too.
