so i guess you got her finally??

on another note the other day we pull into farmers market and the wierdest coincidence...
there was a chili red mini convertible exactly like mine from the SAME DEALER and with a day before on teh paper tag!! so this person bought the car a day before me ...the two cars were side by side and they loooked like twins...unfortunately i tried to stalk the driver but i never saw the person while i was admiring both cars next to each other...

I WIIIIIIIIISH i would have had a camera....it was one of those classic moments forver captured in my mind. the chili and the nightfire brandnew inext to each other...i only imagine the owner must have checked out my car when they saw it next to theirs!

Well I must say...of all the color clubs on NAM, the NFR bunch has to get the award for the most neurotic. Most excellent!!!!

Calling them "neurotic" is like saying MINIs are sort of fun. They are wwwwaaayyyyyy beyond neurotic. I think maybe MINI put a little something extra in the NFR paint fumes.

Neurotic? Do you know what they are talking about?
I have no idea what they are talking about.
Well someone must know what they are talking about.
Why dunt(tm) you ask him?
Hey, what are they talking about?
I like grapes.
Huh? Ohhhh,..I remember you. Nevermind,..go back to your corner.
I like grapes.
Good man, now go away.
If I may. I thnk I know what they may be referring to.
Ahhh,..finally, the voice of reason.
I believe they could be referring to the incident in Roswell.
whaaaa?
I may be paranoid, but you have been running about without your silver hat.
Uh,..ok,...the voice of reason is paddling with one oar outta the water.
Anyone else want to chime in?

Neurotic indeed.

Well since Nightfire Red clearly was a gift from the gods, I'm sure it must put a strain on the faculties of mere mortals who choose to motor while basking in its wondrous aura. Containing that other-worldly level of pure euphoria must comes at a cost, I suppose....clearly it's worth it. Sanity is highly over-rated anyway.

The really cool thing about being insane is you get to laugh at things no one else can see!

If you can survive the ever-growing sound of the second hand moving ever-so-slowly on the clock with each tick getting louder and each tock there as if to chafe your already eroded mind, then you too can join the ranks of the insanely-over-the-top NFR group.

We are the giggles!! WOOOT!

Has anybody ever experienced the "backwards tictocking clock" phenomenon?

7 minutes until I leave...I have to do my hair, get a red dress, pick up...wait...that was MUSE! I'm a guy.....

...I gotta clean my nails, put on my suit, brush my teeth.....

Wow,..he put on a suit? AND cleaned his nails?!?!? I am impressed. It was all I could do to remember to wear underwear.

Bubbles is home! Here he is in all his glory! I can't get used to the fact that I'm actually driving it rather than playing in the mock up cardboard box...look in my gallery and there he'll be!

Thanks folks...and you're right about the color changing all the time. I still don't have my options put on yet, but it will come soon! Like I see in all these threads, just getting your car is only half the battle...then it's the effort in making it YOURS once you get it!
