Thanks everyone!

I was really happy to return home to such a great car...shock to drive her after riding around in an RV for a week!

I have boot stripes too...but ended up with the wrong ones so they are a little short. I'll post more pictures once I get them fixed.

dennisd63...closer than you think...the driving lights are on back order!

Maybe they are fraternal boy/girl twins seperated at birth?? My girl simply needed a little more bling with some checkers?

HOORAY! Congrats Muse and minimobile! I'm super busy since I'm going to be gone next week, but really glad I got to see your rides and know that I am so happy for you both!

It was awesome to see minimobile's decked out with the decor...lovin' the checkerboard sunroof. I didn't know the retro cap was a factory option, that's cool!

A boy, I love having seasons, but I am so drooling over the cabrio.

Piano black w chrome, heated punched leather seats, standard transmission and upgraded stereo.

I let the dogs go for a ride last night...hubbie says they are just perfect...mini dogs in a MINI car.

Ok...slightly diff...Silver w chrome, heated cloth seats, standard transmission, normal stereo, but I got the anthracite roof liner too...if I see correctly, you've got white?

In Canada, we buy packages more than pieces. Premium package puts in sunroof, auto-dim mirror, heated seats, upgraded steering wheel, auto a/c.....Sports package puts in anthracite liner, 17" bridge spokes, sports seats, sport button, rear spoiler, and a whoopie cushion! I also added the interior/exterior chrome package....

If I had known the whoopie cushion was going to be an option in the 07's, I would have waited and ordered one!!!! Damn....

Yes, I have the lighter roof liner...I didn't really understand the difference at the time but I like it now that it's here. I also added packages rather than individual pieces but couldn't remember what they were called...

Ok....my car is missing somewhere in this city...supposedly it's here, but nobody seems to know where it is! So the due date may be pushed farther back...anybody lose a car before?

There is an undocumented week where no one knows where Romi was. I think she was at a spa getting ready to meet the world. You know how debutantes can be when they are first presented to the world.

Have we given up on a name for our official color thread?

I had another though;

The Nightfire Red Nightcrawlers

Oh, and I will have a generic tag ready this weekend. Similar to rooandren's, but without the '#1' and a little more colorful. rooandren, I'll also update yours.

As NFR #1 rooandren, I think you should pick the top three names and then we all vote on them. What do you guys/gals think?

CRRRAAAP!

Due to a long railworkers strike here in Canada...my car has been held up in the rail yard for the last week because the truckers can't catch up on shipments. Possibly, Willow will be at the dealer on Monday...but can't confirm that.
