Very very perty Bella! You should make a long weekend to motor about everywhere!

And not to get back off topic, as I'm sure y'all knew, I wasn't making any judgments about gun ownership, just making some fun observations. And similarly with MN, what's going on with Franken's run?

Love the car Bella...I really like those chrome mirrors!...welcome to "vested" status...CJ...pass on the button!

As for guns...not saying I hate em or like em....we just don't carry them around up here...and for the cold...you really don't notice it until around the -40 mark! Then it starts to chill a bit!

NFR's rule!

Ah, that's your silly metric system though. No, actually, I'm old enough now that I don't like those extremes anymore and I'm liking the temperateness of coastal living again. Waiting for the train when it's 0 in Chicago was not so fun!

For starters...

Sunroof/Window Tinting

Checker Roof Matte/Black (Similar to Twister's only different. )

Crystal/Chrome Direction Indicator Lights

Different Scuttles... either Chrome or Mesh undecided at the moment

Side stripes... not sure which ones yet... do like the script Cooper... perhaps Mini in script... hmm...

Thanks!

Your camera is probably automatically color correcting to make it more red. What kind of camera do you have? Most cameras these days have manual color settings... if yours does switch it to Neutral or any that give you a less saturated color. It also helps to color correct in a photo editing program I use Photoshop. If you are interested in that I can give you some tips and direct you to some tutorials. Let me know.

Thanks! Yep that's what I'm gonna do. There's a great run a couple hours south of the Cities that am gonna go check out.

Haven't heard anything in the last week. He sure did get in some hot water with those unpaid/under paid income taxes though.

Wish we could have slightly bigger ones though. Will probably do a new one soon that makes better use of the size limitations.

How come Bella's Button is different from all ours? Do you have this version? I like it a lot! And if you can...is it possible to make one with a Canadian Flag instead of a Union Jack?

...I know...this is kind of sacriligious!

But even with the Metric System....the numbers coincide at the -40 mark.

- 40 C = -40 F

OK... I cheated abit. I combined the official NFR badge with the badge posted in Signature badges. I did this mostly cuz the coloring looked better with my pics. Am abit OC like that.

No time at the moment... but will see if I can find a Canadian flag image that will work over the weekend. That is of course when I am not driving.
