Congrats like the pictures

Welcome to NAM, tell us more about your 'NightMare', great setting for some sharp pictures.

When did you get it, where did you get it, why is it your 'NightMare'. Love the yellow and the picture variations you used.

I think you misunderstood what was meant by 56K nightmare... I think Gerble meant to say that this thread would be a nightmare for those on dial-up Internet access (i.e. 56K connection), because of all the pictures!

Yes, I do believe your correct. Nice pictures and a lot of them. I get so used to broadband, currently at about 10 megs. download and 4 megs. up. When I visited my sister in rural MO, I used dialup, when I got back I ordered her a broadband wireless satellite so I would hopefully never have to us a modem again.

Thanks for the clarification, I hope your right and his great looking yellow MINI is not the 'nightmare'.

I want this road

Gerble,

Btw, I want this road for my R56, it looks so nice. Is it posted 55 or 65mph?

Thanks everyone and yes I was referring to the poor dial up users with the 56k thing. Though the mini has some issues too, a blown passenger motor mount and some funny drive train noise under heavy load in the lower rpm's in first and second. But hopefully the stealership will fix that on my next service .

Its actually a rural neighborhood that been under construction for almost 4 year and only has like 2 houses in it at the beginning then there's over 3 miles of peopless bliss after that

As for the modding thing ive already ordered an M7 STB next to come some gauges an M7 USS then maybe an M7 16% reducer and 2% lightweight balancer.

Excellent choice in car colour. I like the photos in the water, the reflections are nice.

yeah...it looks badass. congrats.

56k nightmare had me going too. Didnt quite know what we were getting into: mileage, money? I get it now but i was slow on the uptake.

Yellow and black looks better and better.

Due to the lack of computing capacity that my POS dell desktop has, it frequently shuts off when I'm opening up a thread on NAM, threads just like this! Fortunately I didnt view this thread when I was on it!

Gorgeous pics btw!

Lol I wrecked my Motorcycle At Hallet Motor Speedway and instead of quiting I just stripped all the plastics off of it and rode it "naked" for the rest of the trails, I'm still rather unsure where the Assault and Gerble came from but it might have been from the celebrating later that night

:( Oh how I new it for such a short time. A truck ran a stop sign and clipped me this morning when I was going about 55 and I spun out and flipped it a few times . Cars pretty shot should have pictures up in a few hours

Sorry about your Mini. I just saw the pictures, glad you are okay. Did the accident happen on the same road?

I'm jealous of all who live in states that don't require front plates. :-)

Excellent car! Congrats!
