Gee, I hope it's not a Color Elimination Launch!!!

 

What color would we be if they took away our NFR???? I shudder to think....

 

I think I'd be pink....maybe still red if I get a little exposure to the sun?

 

Naw, w/o color we'd all be different shades of silver...which would seemingly please the folks at BMW very much!!!!

 

Phew.... I thought you were going to say we would be OB underneath!!!

 

Only if we hold our breath!

 

No if we did that we'd be Purple Haze!

 

Oh...excuse me....while I kiss the sky!

 

Question:

I'm heading to San Antonio in a few weeks and have a question about border towns...is there a relatively nice, reasonably safe border town to cross into Mexico for the day south and west from San Antonio? After a week, I'm planning on driving thru New Mexico, Arizona, Vegas, Utah & Colorado on the way home....not sure yet if we should cross into Mexico for a day somewhere?

What think you NFR's down south?

 

Arizona as Nogales which is a decent border town. Lots of shops and cantinas. But it is Mexico. Keep your car in Arizona and walk across the border. We've gone down there a lot since living here. I got a beautiful ceramic sink for the bathroom there and matching tiles. You can stay in Tucson and go down to Nogales for the day.

 

Hey fellow nightfire folks! My girl will arrive in about week. Can't wait!!!

 

WooHoo!!! We can start celebrating tonight!!! Why wait???

 

Welcome aboard MiniBella! I'm dennis the database man. I'm going to add you to our database, but will need some particulars!

I'll need: your new mini's name, roof color, any stripes?, transmission type, any packages you ordered, and any other options, including interior colors, etc. Once you get your baby, post a picture and we'll make you a "vested" member of this crazy group.

 

I think you swung by a while ago, right Bella? Congrats on the imminent arrive!

I've seen something truly strange around here--there is a NFR rental car with a silver roof! No, not a clubman, a cooper!?! Did I miss something and this is available for '08? Can't say it looked that great actually, but different fer sure!

 

When I picked up my NFR, the dealer told me I was the second person in the state to have the NFR. Two days later I saw the first one driving on the freeway, it had a silver roof!! Never seen it again...

 

weeeeird...it's definitely not on the configurator

 

I have to say that I agree about the look. Not a color combo that appeals to me.

Thinking of adding the Aero Spoiler carried by Spoiler Depot. Anybody familiar with them? Thoughts?

Already have a working wish list of accessories... I think my girl is going to have a detrimental affect on my wallet. lol

 

hello MiniBella :D your mini sounds pretty sweet! I have to say I'm a little jealous, but mostly because yours will be arriving this week, and mine will be leaving southampton this week XD

roo, I finally got around to looking up the ship tracker... I've bookmarked it already, and I'm super excited (will be checking it often; ocd what?) but my mini isn't even on it yet *win!*

 

Thanks MiniBella...the only thing missing is the car's name? I'm assuming it's "Bella"? Also, you are the closest member on the team to me so far! I'm in Winnipeg...only 8 hours away! Now at least you'll get all the winter jokes when they pop out!

 

How was the weekend irianon? Are you ok? Are you wearing your Depends yet?

 

when we went to the unveiling in Richmond We got to go into the back bays where they had all the colors available. My Favorite was the nightfire red it is absolutely beautiful. That's the one i'm getting.

Winnipeg huh? Not too far at all.

I am leaning toward Bella... but am waiting till we meet in person to decide for sure. Sounds right but then she may have a different ideas.

 

Hope your wait isn't too hard to bare. Mine has only been 2 weeks so far and I am beside myself. I think my MA thinks I am a tad crazy.

 

That sounds like a great plan! I think I went through 26 name changes during the craziness of the wait!
