Carmen Update
Here is the latest info on the Carmen. It looks like she is updating the weather information on a more regular basis now. At least no recent skipped times, she's been sending in the data every six hours. 
And she's been making steady progress of around 114 nautical miles every six hours.

The extra cool thing about WCM is we have no dues or officers. We just have FUN....

, now that I'm an official member, the only thing I can say is, it would be nice if I was closer to the group so I could participate in the events. I am hoping to make it to AMVIV next year though and possibly meet up with you all on your Montery adventure

I have the clear one. It seems to serve its purpose and is very hard to notice. But, Water does stick to it more than the rest of the car, even after Hydro. I think it's worth it. If you scratch it, you can just remove it and get another. I haven't scratched mine though. If you look in my gallery, there is a fairly close shot of the rear bumper. Can you see the protector?
Where did you find the clear shield? I've only see the black 'sticker' shield and the rubber MINI one.

I enjoyed browsing the pictures in your gallery. Your's is I think the first LiB/LiB MINI I've seen other than in my configurator. I like it and can hardly wait to see it on my baby.

Hello All!
Wow! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread the past couple of days. Let meintroduce myself, my name is Elijah and I live in Germany. I am going in on Saturday to pick up my 2007 MCS (AB, cloth, chrome interior and exterior, sport package and Hi-fi). This has been one of the more entertaining threads I have read in a long time. 
A lot better than some of the BMW boards I was a part of.
Mike,
I totally feel your pain! Hang in there!
Tig,
You have got to be one of the more understanding women on the planet! and you love Minis too! Such a plus! Can you talk to my wife please!! About the Mini not the understanding part. She allowed me to purchase a MCS afte ronly having my 2006 MC for a little over a year!
I never really knew the mania that surrounded the Mini. It is soooooooooooooooooooo cool!
Once again thanks for the entertainment, ya'll have made my day.
Oh yeah if you're curious TEEAM stands for Toni(my wife), Elijah(me), Elijah(my son 33mths), Alea (my daughter 3 mths) and Micah (son 19 months). Yes the children are close in age. We didn't have a Mini back then, so we had a lot of time on our hands. Guess how we filled it.

It's a tiny bit of escapism, and a huge bit of friendship, humor, fun, support, and wisdom <--ok, that part about wisdom might be stretching it.Congrats! on your new MCS!! Be sure to post lots of pics. We like pics! Mmmmm...pics!!
Germany, eh....<slobber>...the autobahn.
Have you driven it? How fast?I love your NAM name!! Family is everything.
I'll be happy to speak to your wife about MINIs, men, mods, and succombing to the dark side. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!

It's OK, baby. Just squeeze your plushie tighter. Everything will be just fiiiiiine. I mean, seriously, when is the last time you saw a post on NAM from an owner-in-waiting stating, "my car was lost in the Bermuda triangle".

Actually, my MA used those very words when I was trying to find out where my car was after it left the dock. Ugggg. Not those words, the Bermuda Triangle ones.

I can hardly wait to get a picture of my Maggie in Samwise:Thanks for the comments.
Emily, Cassie is 9 years old in August, she does have the white masking that older Golden's get when they mature. She had a playmate we lost to a brain tumor a few years ago, Maggie would have been 12 this July, she was a redhead Golden, she was a super sweet dog and a real swimmer. Love them both, but miss Maggie. We are thinking about another puppy, but we may adopt an older shelter Golden, if we find the right match.

My Maggie is a 13yr old puppy and is my baby.
She's gotten even cuter over the years with the gray on her face.

So you read the whole thread?
It is an interesting cast of characters isn't it? Fun group of people I've never met but would like to. I agree on the MINI mania. If you've thoroghly read this thread you'll know what a POOM is.
Are you a POOM?This thread has been making my day for every day for quite a while.
