You guys are still here!

It's been awhile since I checked in on NAM, and imagine how surprised I was to see several things:
1. The NFR support group still on the FIRST page of the 2007+ forum
2. You guys are all still here posting funny things!
3. Someone posted beautiful pictures of an NFR Clubman. Don't tell Spike, but if I had to do it now, that's what I'd get.
4. You guys are still here!

Nice to 'see' you all again after all this time.

It's ok...it was only hiccups! I can't believe I took him in to the doctor's for hiccups! What an idiot NFR owner I am...maybe it was Slurpee Brain Freeze?

By the way, did anybody ever hear of multiple alarms and signals going off all because the brake fluid was low? First it was a general warning light, then the DSC warning light, and then the brake light, then a red caution light.......all because of low brake fluid.

My next question...where the heck is the brake fluid reservoir?

One suggestion was that the brake pads have worn down enough to drop the fluid enough to cause the alarms to go off enough....ENOUGH!

Anxious to see your black out of Malcolm completed carjoy, even if I am with Skuzzy in the "more bling, all the time" camp myself doesn't mean I can't appreciate the different strokes.

Side note: Anyone got good detailing tips for the &*()&^&$()^ dust that my beautiful paint seems to attract like crazy! I am not one to spend hours on this stuff, but any good product I can use to repel the dusties?

Those who asked about the leather, I love it, it's like buttah.

Rieux, where are you from in CT?? I was born here, moved away to Ithaca NY for a while and came back in '97. Love those CT twisty roads!

Here you go Jumbo. It is not completed yet. There is still a piece of the grill to do, the belt line, the door handles, new bonnet stripes, and the MINI wings. I'm loving how it looks so far.

The Boot


The rest will be finished on Tuesday. Will post finishing look then.
