Hey Mike. Tigs. BBCooper. Have you considered approaching a cable network about turning this into a reality show? I'll watch...

I don't think he was amused.

He even accused me of being in cahoots with you, Wendy, when I said, "How about picking out a gift for Wendy? http://www.tiffany.com/?siteid=1"

Cahoots? Us? No way! We'd neber do anything like that.

Tiffany's....my all-time favorite place. *sigh* those little teal boxes make my heart skip. *dreamy*

Maybe if I'm a really good, supportive, and loving wife during this whole R56 build process I'll get a little teal-boxed present!

I'd accept MINI mods as well...those are awesome presents too. Chicks who love MINIs, and love to Mod MINIs, RULE!

And not a bad one. We're as entertaining as the guys on American Chopper (although Grandma shooting a BB gun while wearing a fake mustache last night was a comedic moment that might be hard to top).

I almost lost it after the Elmer Fudd hat.

I'd watch someone work on their car for an hour every week if there was some interesting banter going on.

Oh, "interesting" doesn't begin to describe it.

Thank goodness "Smell-O-Vision" hasn't been perfected yet.

I'm pretty sure that this "reality show" would have to be on cable; probably on the Spice, Playboy, or AutoPorn channels.

That doesn't matter I just spent more than an hour finishing reading this thread. And now I'm in dire need for some eye candy..

And I heard on our Club Board that there is yet another Thread from these new parents...

Well that has to wait till tonight after work...

ok ..

Sorry I am "late" to the converstaion.. I was "busy" with yet another super secret mod for my MINI - if you can imagine that..

Anyway.. Yes pic of the transformations are needed.. I am still getting used to the new look .. but I really LUV it.. I hope to get some day light time this weekend for a few shots.. and maybe even get Church next to Mr MCS2U..

As for the "TV show".. that would be funny .. But I get to "watch" MINI mods all most every night.. because it is in my garage.. Hey.. what if, Mike and his IT mastery rigs up a web cam & server feed from the garage.. Then you all can log in and watch ... Even better we can have a "live chat" window and play "ask the guys" Q&A .. But then how would be working... Oh boy this could get out of control in a hurry..

Well I need to give some time to the day job.. ok .. actually lunch ..

Later,
Blair

Probably many more than you know are "tuned in" to this soap opera! It reminds me of when I was waiting. Couldn't figure out why it took so long to build the car, when I had been told it only takes about 8-10 hours for the complete job. Like mine was the only one being built right then! Mike, here's wishing you the best on the stopping smoking thing. I did it 17 years ago after many years of heavy (3 pks Kool longs/day) smoking and I just picked a day to do it! My birthday present to myself! Best decision I ever made. Many are pulling for you! Don't ever count on the OL to be on time. They are historically late posting changes. Best wishes, and get some sleep, after you get "her" a present. (something sparkley!!)

I hope that "her" is Tigs, not the R56. Ok, they both should get some bling.
