Now theres one less "Clown" look-alike on the road. For a clubmin that wasn't a bad looking car. If you named it you will probably be sad now that you have to part ways.

Yep Happy Birtday as well.

I was looking at the HONDA FIT as a daily driver...

JOS said "How are you going to have a HONDA with INIMINI plates on it?"

We are meeting halfway on the R56...well more her half than mine...

JOS wants heated seats, xenon lights, AUTO, no sunroof...I want Midnight Black.

Lorin, when are you going to realize that what you want doesn't matter. What Jos wants, Jos gets!!

Freddy,

You are right!...

You know that JOS says "I am going to get the Countryman." She will get it...using her will power and my money.

Here are JOS's current MODs:

1. 07 PW/BLK MCS...Why add bits and pieces...just replace the whole car with a new one.

Ed, mods his car piece by piece...not Lorin...JOS says "You don't need a CAI, Tune, or Exhaust...I'm replacing the whole car!"

2. 2011 Countryman MCS ALL4...JOS will pay off the new R56 to get this one...

Lorin's Current MODS:

3. R52 Vert will somehow be my project car.

a. IE Fixed Camber Plates is first and I'm getting Dave, NJAUTOBAHN to do it. JOS is going to buy this part soon.

b. ONE-BALL MOD.

c. Going to go to HELIX to take care of two things; JOS's UJ Gauge inserts and my 17% Pulley...couple of months away.

Somewhere in the middle of the above...I plan to brace the car...IE Lower Front Trapezoid Brace and BSH Lower Motor Mount.

Good luck finding another car that invites a palindromic license plate.

True but I heard something a while back about fires starting in the doors of Honda's from the automatic windows.

BTW: I have to laugh at the old Honda marketing slogan, "You meet the nicest people in a Honda". I personally know Honda drivers and they are far from nice.

I believe the slogan was "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" because it was a motorcycle commercial.

Aw, Lorin, hope you and Jos had fun with the Clubman! So you're down to two again but not for that long. I still want a ride in the Convertible.
