R50/53 May 2004 Build...anyone else? Wanna track each other's prog
>>Alta intake, alta pulley, alta air diverter/water sprayer, alta short shift kit, alta gauge pod, magnaflow cat-back, Autometer Phantom boost gauge, Autometer Phantom Oil Temp (coming soon), "M7 Device", and a Unichip (coming soon). You got some catching up to do. My MINI should get here in a little over a week and it is just DYING to get past 1250 to get fitted with all its snazzy new gear!
>>aaaaaw, crap. Someone already took Bloody L
Well, I can hope at least it's a MINI owner. Darn, that was my new favorite.
heh heh, probaby some guy in a '62 Rolls... yeah right. I hope if that's not on a MINI it's on an XKE or an Austin Healey or something suitably cool and British.

Oh, Pete, I LOVE QUE MINI that's great. Unfortunately, up here in the midwest, nobody would get it. They'd think I was trying to shorten quesadilla or something.

You're a girl too? Somehow I hadn't grokked that!
I do think ppl will "get" BADOBBY ... they're remarkably ingenious about figuring out plates.
(My favorite plate ever: PB FOOT. Oh, and SNAAB on a SAAB.)

Yep, I'm a girlie girl! Well, you being lintqueen, I figured you were either a girl or a well, a man who enjoys the company of other men. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I don't get PB FOOT. I tried! What does it mean? I like SNAAB for sure.

motoring since may 29th. although i've been on-call for work so i haven't finished the 1200mi break-in *quite* yet.
(last new vehicle i bought was my motorcycle, which got it's 500mi break-in done in the course of a couple of days -- i got "lost" on the way to work in seattle and ended up in cape flaherty, the most northwest corner of the continental US. not quite sure how that happened.)

OMG - my chemistry teacher would shoot me. I think of Pb - DUH.

Thats AWESOME! Hope the cops aren't Chem majors, though.
Damn, I decide to sleep in on my day off and miss all the good conversation. :smile:

And for those who are interested, the Aida has reached the far edge of Newfoundland. Veeeeerrrryyyy soon now. :smile:
Then he found out he was destined for Akron, Ohio and got out of line and hightailed it to Cabo where he is now sitting on the beach sipping a very fine motor oil and picking up on a Canyonero named Maude...
The Dobby adventure continues...

Well.....it IS Ohio. :smile:
>>Two best plates I've seen:
>>
>>A Gemballa 911 Turbo with ENZOWHO
>>
>>A redhead with the plate FEO2Y (rusty: FeO2 is iron oxide=rust)
Actually, my favorite has to be a state issued plate I saw about 12 years ago, when PA was still on the three letters-three number system.
PMS-666
I almost ran off the road I was laughing so hard.

NO NEWS. Dobby STILL hasn't been released. But at this rate, and with my luck, I am not surprised. And to think I was hopeful I would get him tomorrow. I'm going to go have a good cry now...

Remember WannaMINI - ""Expecting "Dobby" in Early June"". Still a good two weeks left in early June. And think how much closer you are to Dobby now than 266 posts ago.

Another favorite of mine is a two-car family (two VWs, I think?) that had the tags OB-LA-DI and OB-LA-DA
My plate, BTW, is "ROTFL ;-D"
In NC punctuation doesn't "count" so my official license is ROTFLD (though the semi-colon and dash are both on the plate). For more funnies, see here: http://www-chaos.umd.edu/misc/origplates.html#r

My favorite plate is still SpedU4ea which is one my friends Viper. I do like my ACTL SZ for the mini though. The biggest waste of a great plate was the one I got for my 98 M3 ... It was TI 3VOM which is MOVE IT when you look back in your rear view mirror. I say waste becuase I did not put on a front plate! So I reluctantly canceled that one.

I was going to use Don't Worry, Be Happy but that showed up on VH1's top 25 songs you love to hate list last night so I'm going with The Kinks, Better Days:
Here's wishing you the bluest skies
and hoping something better comes tomorrow
Hoping all the verses rhyme
and the very best of choruses to
Follow all the doubt and sadness
I know that better things are on their way
Here's hoping all the days ahead
won't be as bitter as the ones behind you
Be an optimist instead
and somehow happiness will find you
After all the doubt and sadness
I know that better things are on their way
It's really good to see you rockin' out
and havin' fun
Livin' like you've just begun
So here's to what the future brings
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things
Now keep repeating that over and over until that damn Dobby arrives. I'm leaving town until Monday, so I have to somehow get through several days without checking in. Hopefully Padre will be on terra firma by then. Tell, Dobby that if he isn't at least on his way to Ohio by Monday, we are seriously going there to kidnap him ourselves.
