Well I am in Boston with zillions of MINIs overall, and a mile away from the dealership! So my waving arm gets pretty tired.

In the 2008 models, you get to position the fingers in any manner, ah, fitting for the wave.

Let's see......I think it's 5 or 6 weeks now, and has been at a dealership autobody shop. The issue was mainly as they began disassembling the car to repair it, they found more damage and had to get the insurance company to come in and approve the extra damage on the claim...and then order the parts....which we know takes time!!!!

Well, I got Bubbles back. It was a happy reunion. Turns out they didn't have to replace the hood...they had 8 MINIs in the shop and mixed ours up! I still have the stripes, so I'm trying to decide what to do with him to spice him up a little?

However, there were 2 scratches in the paint on the bumper...he's got to go back and get the bumper painted again....but, he's doing fine. And I put his summer shoes back on too..so he's lookin sexy!

Sounds like an interesting new color . . .

I noticed this today, and thought your group might get a chuckle.
