Skuzzy, looking forward to that install procedure. If there's one thing I've learned about you, it's that you are meticulous. Of course, I have learned other things, but I better forget them for this purpose.

I had the same thought!




Congrats Scuzzy looks great!


I'm sure you posted them elsewhere but what are your specs?

I just got to the pics, and started showing Romi off to everyone in my office who's waiting for Winnie/Willow and the sight crashed. Everyone in my office has been with me through this time of upheaval and tribulation, it was funny to see eveyone's expression when the site crashed...

...What? Yet another setback to get over?...........wheeew...that was close!

Mmmm, she's stunning. I was actually sitting here admiring her while eating some lunch. A couple of my employees stuck their heads in my office....so I invited them to oggle Romi too. She's becoming famous already!

Welp, I already know I need to order some tools. I'll include that in the readme.

I'm sure you posted them elsewhere but what are your specs?
MM, check my sig tag now. I still need to work on it.

Hang in there dennis....it is as painful to get through as you think it is.

4xAAA, I am ashamed to admit it, but she had a layer of dust on her this morning from last night's motoring. I had to wash her after taking the pics, but due to technical difficulties the Wife had left with the camera. I'll take some more this weekend after I finish detailing her. But no, those are not photoshopped. But I promise, in the next set, she will be spotless.

She seems to have that effect tig. Went outside a minute ago to admire her and there were 4 women checking her out. No doubt jealous. Both the artists in the office have commented on the color combination being spot on. Being pastel color blind, I really was glad to hear that.

Congrats.

I will be ordering Bídeach (Irish Gaelic for Tiny) on my birthday next week, can't wait. What are your thoughts on the Gotham grey? It looks nice from what I can see. Did you select a color line or did you go with what comes with it? If you got what it comes with, what color does it actually come with? I was never able to get that answer in my other thread.

Anyway, congrats and have fun.

Thanks lava!! She gets the looks too! WOOHOO!

1chaos, I really like the Gotham Gray with NFR. It worked better than I expected. No colorline. The dash gray color you see in the pics is actually silver.

So, as I look at your order/delivery dates, Skuzzy, it was just over 2 months. Not bad by MINI standards, and not that much longer than it took me to get mine. So why does it seem like it took forever for your car to get here?????

I whine better, more often, with greater exuberance. The rest is an art.

EDIT: Like rooandren said, I started whining a month before I actually placed the order.

Thanks Skuzzy, that kinda makes up my mind to get the Gotham Grey. I guess I will have to start whining next week. Hopefully being on the East Coast I will not have to whine for quite as long though

Not me daffodildeb. If I disappear, its only because Im dead. Now, I am taking the last week of May for my birthday and vacation. I may be a bit intermittent as I plan on quite a bit of motoring then, but I am here for the long haul.

Or as long as you guys can stand me.

Did you already change your antenna? Or is that the new stock one?

Stock one. I have not decided what to do about it yet. I am thinking of making one with an LED on the tip.
