No, they do not have those, that I am aware of. I can make it though. The front control panel in the roof has power to it.

Nothing wrong with an 06 at all. Grover looks pretty good to me!

It's funny when you play this waiting game how many peripheral people start getting pulled into it's attraction factor. In my area of the office, there are 35 people who are watching all this progress and know every car by name!

Ain't that truth! You should see our parking lot. Romi is drawing a crowd. I had to take our velvet ropes and put up a safe area around Romi!

Ditto on the congrats Skuzzy, I ordered the same specs, but with auto trany, cream line, letherette, and the coal headliner and piano black, also i must have been wigged out because I also got the clear lens pkg. No strips also as I could not decide between Bonnet or Sport stripes.

Enjoy, I wont see mine till mid june, your pics will have to help me get through the pain.

Yeah, Nitefire Redis a cool color. I was hoping the Cooper S would come in it as well.

Romi... as in the cute hollogram from the Andromeda tv show?

Thanks snkbte! Pictures of her really dunt(tm) do her justice. But the wait dang near killed me!!

I tell you what, the wait would not have been endurable had it not been for this board and the folks at NAM. Having people that understood all the whining was really helpful. And it kept me from whining to my Wife who would have ended up slapping the poop outta me claiming, "Get OVER IT!!".

When I selected her name it was not the intent. On the show, they pronounced Romi with the O pronounced as a short A. I pronounce it with a long O. But now that I see her, she certainly does look like Romi (for the uneducated; Romi wore a tight black and red leather outfit) and is certainly as hot as she was.

You will not get any argument out of me on that! Ya have to wonder if the folks at Oxford know how much power they wield. Dictators wish they had that kind of power. And thanks <Mark>!!

Thank you for your well-wishes, too! As you can tell, I got her yesterday. This is what I looked like when I first saw her , when I drove her off the lot , and what I've looked like ever since .

I know as a member of NAM it is my civic duty to post more pictures, which I am more than thrilled to do, but like you, Scuzzy, it was dark when I got home from the dealership. To make matters worse, I am on my way to work soon, so patience, my friends.

Now, I'm going to get ready for work, so I can show her off to everyone on the road. And yes, I already got looks from people jealous of how cute she is They have NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO idea what they're missing!!!
