I was there today they want 2k over MSRP.
Try Concord or East Bay, I can't remember if they marked up MSRP or not. I'll be at East Bay tomorrow, want me to look?

AutoX was one of the things that she might want to do again, look out Cliff 
Dr. Steve, i'm just letting you know that she wants to purchase one on account that she will be counting on you after her warranty runs out
We looked at a brand new BMW 128i, but she said you can work on Minis If you are up there take a look around It has to be a "S" with auto, Premium package atleast. The more plush the better Chilli Red/White top, or Blue/White top, maybe Silver or Dark Silver too. Thanks.

Thats crazy. Do they think they are the only dealer close by? And yes we did buy her a 05 330ci convertible back in June 2008, but the car is possessed

I have been talking to the GM of the dealership and BMW corporate about it. I would really like to get the car just above invoice and get a good trade in on her car If you look on NAM it seems people are getting $500, $1000 and even more off of MSRP. So will see

Jimini, I am glad you didn't buy the new Caddy.
I may as well fess up now, (but don't tell my mother). I have been lurking/ thinking of a new S. East Bay has a white '08.
Steve, if you end up at East Bay, take them a box of sharp pencils

Dude go for the "S"
C-Dub was talking about an all-black JCW Clubman with black rims at the Pleasanton MINI dealership. Janet needs to talk to Cookie about how uber-cool & cost-effective a new MINI would be. I'd get it in a heartbeat! 
Note: C-Dub, can you post the pictures you took?

Hmmmmm....I'm totally not digging the chrome & random silver on the rear of the car. I guess that could all be easily changed, but 'dang' I need another MINI project like I need a gunshot wound to the head.

Very cool, thanks Steve
#1. What's with the handwritten sticker? Seems to have alot of add on's done by them and real expensive.
#2. If I showed her that interiour she would strangle me
#3. THATS IT! Thats look's almost like the one we built on Mini's website, except we used the JCW aero kit. But that seems to look ok. Those are the seats she want's, we used the same dask color also. Thanks again Steve.

Ok Joe, I tried the big muffler on the end of the little muffler and it works on my MINI with only a little drone around 3000 rpm, but it won't cause you to go deaf. I'm going to try your MINI with the SS resonator and both mufflers after lunch. The header will be another story. Will you send me a link to your exhaust tip supplier and will you bring by one of your tips when you get a chance? Thanks.
