The Tosco landed in NYC today with 450 MINI's aboard!

8/10/03 Reuters API UNITED//,,,,,

Though its not quite Staten Island 450 british nationals arrived today in NY harbor Port Receiving the welcome of the Lady Liberty. Members of the Port Authority were overheard discussing the hightly awaited cargo. 2004 MINI MOTORING MAXUMUM THRILL MACHINES beached on the eastern seaboard this very day.


When questioned about the passage over the high seas in a 630ft Singapore freighter, a handsome a BRG/B spoke up first and saidit it was a slow poke. Luckily cargohull conversations ragged between the colors on who held the title of # 1 for speed, finess, options, and future plans to rule the roads of North America. The youngest member a Mr. PW/B spoke up to say he was looking forward to meeting the wise wizard of Colorado Mr. Randy. Rumor has it he is working to befit PW/B with a7 degreed pulley job that makes 48 lbs of boost. the younster says he is going to be Mr. Randy's Abby Normal MCS.
IB/IB spoke in admiration of those in the NAV group who turned their shark fin antennas to scan and mapped the ocean floors this lead to long discussions on which tire /rim combo would work best in the white sands and rocky mountain roads of the Atlantis canyons.
Topside spirited conversations were had between the LY and EB MCS kids on who could make the tallest roostertail around the slalom course beginning at the Hatterus Buoy.

All were happy to finally be off the water . Hungry for some 94 oct, and as the sun set on the longshoreman unloading the massive holds a the group inhaled the scent of america and dreams of tomorrow...one day closer to meeting their new owners.
...to be continued...

What I've done is find the highest octane gas I can get and then drop in a bottle of Octane Boost in the tank before I pump it.

My LY/W was one of the 450 on the TOSCA. Today I went to my dealer and there it was! However, the dealer is closed on Sundays so I was left staring at it through chain-link fence.

No I know what visiting day at jail is like.

Waiting...
