So many whiners.........(myself included) How refreshing to hear some one who is sooooooooooooo psyched over their new baby,kinda like re experiencing christmas through the eyes of a small child.All I can tell you is ENJOY! As I near the end of my warrentee,I find myself actually looking forward to a new era where I can consider some serious mods without any warrentee voiding issues.I've signed up to have Randy Webb put a pulley in Zane Grey next month.Put the M7 "device" in last weekend.CAI next week.wheeeee!Jeez, I'm getting psyched just writing about it!Thanks for the infusion of enthusiasm,I needed that. :smile: Jock

Thanks for the enhancement, minihune! Much better! That is most definately sunblock on the parcel shelf! Sunroof open and windows down, yahooo, feels like an open topped car!
Bruce, sell my bonnet grill??? And leave my baby toothless? Why would you want the grill? Actually, I did plan on replacing both front grills with aero kit grills, but once I had the bonnet grill on, I decided I liked the OE grill better. I like the more aggressive look of the aero grill, but decided I didn't like it on my car. sheesh. Now, if you're interested in the V-spokes, got them up on the marketplace.

holdenontoit, I got the M7 device before I took delivery of the car, but haven't installed yet. Eventually, when I'm better acquianted with the car and I have the time. Got little hands, so I'm hoping I can get it done sans bloody knuckles

Update

Just over 1700 miles now, so we've been getting acquainted with the other part of the tach! Such a willing thing!
And bonding over many coats of Zainos. Sometimes, for a grin, I go sit in my car while its parked in the garage. I should just name her Therapy.

She does have a wee bit of yo-yo, not noticable most of the time and certainly not enough to put me off.
I'm very fond of Ian's auto up window circuit, would hate to make do without it. I do wish I'd asked for the track mode DSC. Parcel shelf is good to have, wonder why MINIs don't come with a shelf instead of the knee bolster.
The Rotas are working out great, the light coating of brake dust is probably noticable to only me. I'm happy with the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 I put on, very good for everyday, not noisy, but only about 1500 miles on them so far. I have felt the turn in resistance (is that the right term?) during spirited twisty drives, but never heard them squeal. Probably because all I could hear was my heart pounding in my ears. OH, they look really cool too!

Shelly

Congrats, Shelly. Didn't know PW/PW came w/ black mirrors. Is that common w/ all "same color" cars?

Looks hot. Nice wheels .

Ravaging the road w/ "Therapy". I like that.

Thanks lectric bloo! I can't remember if I asked for black mirror caps instead of body color, or if it just showed up that way. At any rate, I like em, and it didn't cost any extra.
