Carjoy, that pic of your MINI with the New York New York backdrop is gorgeous! Such a moving color! Pictures like that sway me more towards the NFR camp. Two months ago when I first put my deposit down I was sure I was getting the NFR Clubman (I still have prob 3 months more wait). All that time has me second guessing my decision and has me wondering about the whole S thing (hard not to feel the S bias on these boards...). Hearing that you held your own helps and seeing another picture of the NFR...wow it is simply beautiful.

 

You lucky dogs!!!! to have such a sweet color option. I love the nightfire red. You all should enjoy looking at your cars everytime you walk up to it (I'm jealous). CarJoy- awesome pictures.

 

Thanks, Dan and Skuzzy....great tips, and I will check out the tires forum as well.

 

Oh nom. I managed to escape the dreaded greeter loop. You know the one. Where the inside greeter runs you off outside only to be met by another one returning carts to the inside.

Felt like being stuck in a revolving door. My shorts finally got caught on the door handle, ripping the pocket off, but also expelling me out of the mobius loop I was stuck in.

DUNT(TM) DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!

Welcome aboard prixdc! Which snazzy badge are you referring to? I created the one in my sig and have sahred it with who wanted it, but I have no idea where the share link is anymore. Somewhere in this thread it exists. Or was that in the mobius loop at the Wally World??? I am easily confused.

I do! I always smile when looking at Romi. She is teh seckksie!!! WOOT!

 

No worries about the badge, I whipped up a new sig anyway! And thanks for the welcome! Just waiting for my MA to call...should be able to pick up today....HURRY UP!

 

Man, I cannot get the "multi-quote" to work for some reason. Makes it a biotch to respond to multiple folks without creating multiple posts.

Gotta love and hate that feeling you get the last few hours before taking delivery of your new baby.

 

Welcome prixdc. I'm Dennis the Database man...and need a few more details: Your state, roof color, stripes if any, transmission, and any other options such as interior colors, etc. Once you post your pics, CarJoy will make you a 'vested' member and you'll get your button! Welcome!~

 

This reminds me of waiting for who would get the first NFR in north america...it was a race! PUSH PUSH......prixdc and thejokell...running neck and neck!

 

Hey, how come I never got my button?!?

BTW, going at lunch to pick her up.

 

You'll get it when we all get the see your pics!

 

Full details:
In Memphis, Tennessee, '08 NFR/B 6-spd manual, Black Bonnet Stripes, Conv./Prem. packages, sunroof, 15" rotator spokes, white turn signals, front/rear fogs, antrhacite headliner, black/grey leatherette interior.

Just got a call from my MA, he said it was here, but I probably won't be able to get my hands on it till MONDAY! WHAT!? I have never experienced pain like this before.

thejokell, you are a lucky man.

And....I wait...

 

Ohhhhh,....the inhumanity!!

 

How's that? Only pics I have right now cuz it's raining out. I'll take some better photos next week.

Oh, and her name is "Inara".

 

Button? What Button? I know I've been gone a long time, but I never got a button either.....say, Skuzzy, did you have time to design a badge yet?...maybe I missed that, too...I have been gone a while.....

 

Twings...it's the NFR Owners Club Button in your sig...it's all we have so far...Until Skuzz makes that badge for the NFR Support Group on the CNC!

CJ: Pass the button to thejokell.

thejokell....it's a beaut! What's the signif with the name? Welcome to "vested" status! Hang on prixdc....it'll come!

 

Wowza, howdy Skuz and Twings! Several of us have been slacking I guess.

Congrats to the newbies, hope everyone is motoring already wiht weather as great as here today.

Question--does anybody else feel the standard headlights are just not that bright? I rarely do highway driving at night, and maybe it's just my night vision, but I was driving a couple hundred miles on until highway the other day and it was bad.

 

jokell, WOW! Absolutely beautiful. In every photo I see the NFR color looks so different (but always stunning). That chameleon-like color changing is one of the reasons I love the NFR so much. UGH, seeing all the beautiful cars makes me wish the clock would do double time until October....waiting sucks.

 

I've already got my first mods planned, too. I think I'm going to replace the grille with a JCW black grille and do a joey mod on the headlights. Need to make her look a little meaner.

 

Beautiful pics jokell!! She's gorgeous! Congrats!

Joey mod?

 

Thanks! And why the hate on the Joey mod?

 

No hate... just not into blacked out headlights. It's really the only cosmetic mod that I'm not keen on. Maybe yours will be the one that wins me over though.

 

Heya roo!

Romi's lights have always been bright enough to me. I cannot tell any difference between our Lexus IS headlights and Romi's.

I am not a fan of anything that dims the headlights though.

 

Countdown to pickup:

T-minus THREE HOURS!

Pics to come tonight!

 

Well Inara has to go back to the dealer soon (just waiting on a call to schedule the appointment). Something leaked from the windshield washers and stained the bonnet stripes. They're going to have to replace them.

 

bummer.....
