Thanks for the welcomes and info, guys.....your chatter for the past 24 has me ROFL (thanks for the definition!)....made my day!!!
Yes, Chessie is female, and I WILL have pictures...notice I did add Skuzzy's tag. May need help putting both in the sig. Chessie (in case anybody cares) is short for Cheshire Cat. I'm a cat fanatic, plus the last thing you see of the Cheshire Cat is her smile....and MINI's make you smile even after they're out of sight.
I forgot who said it, but I love the comment about the air conditioned garages and melted black rubber all over the floor.....even funnier because it's true!

MUSE...Boy did we ever miss you! We're getting our girls back! Twings, now Muse! A few more to go and we'll have the whole family back together! (brings a tear to your eye!)
I was going to ask about Chessie, but had much more fun trying to figure it out myself...First, went with food thinking it was Cheesies! Second, the game Chess, third shortened version of Chesterton, forth a mix of Charles and Bessie....Come on girls...pics please! Muse, where's the rest of the millions of pics you were going to bequeath upon us?
Mmmm....Cheesies...be right back!

Here's the other girl. I've been lurking, but have been busy at work and haven't had time to post. Plus I'm very upset because my real plates got lost in the mail - a week past my temp tags expiring - so I can't drive my car!!!! Very upsetting. I'm totally mad at my dealer/MA because they are being very laxidaisical about it despite daily calls and demands they do something.
I managed to put 1300 miles on it in the 20 days I could drive, (and I don't drive to work...) and beyond a slight 2nd gear grind that happens sometimes when I first start out driving, it's been great fun. Oh, I wish I was driving right now.
Here's a photo from vermont dirt roads and what they did to him.
Talk about dust rabbit....

HOLY POTATOES KIMMC!! Someone call the riot cleaning squad, pronto! What we have here is a case of the lint winning the war!!! One of our own is in trouble guys! Dunt(tm) worry kimmc, we will not rest (too much) until your baby is free from the pestilence of the dirt ***** (lint ball's cousins)!
For the sigpic, all you need to do is open the little pic in my original post of the pic, then right-click on it and "copy shortcut", then paste that URL (shift-insert) in for your sigpic. You have the little one there now.
When you get some pics posted we can build you a sig complete with the tag.
Whne I first read the name of your baby, I was hungry, and was wearing the wrong glasses, and there was a thunder storm about, and my hair was in my eyes (from falling off my head), and my desk chair broke, and the monitor had a chocolate smudge over the name of your car, and well,,...I went blind!! Ok, ok, ok. Maybe some of those were a bit exagerrated.
Sorry Muse, I dunt(tm) swing that way. But that is what the lint ***** are counting on. They want us to team up in groups. It makes it easier for them to leave thier scourge over a wider area. And before we realize it, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of cup holders with lint in them. The endeavor towards lintocide cannot be taken lightly and will not be successful if we huddle together. We must go forth, far and wide, with our vacuum cleaners, our tweezers, and even toothpicks....with whatever weapon we have to put an end to the scourge that is lint. Our duty is clear. Our resolve is unbreakable. Our lunches are cold! We will be vistorious! Remember the Lintamo!

Actually, that second gear grind might be a symptom of the bad run of clutch/flywheels some have experienced. If the clutch is engaging near the top of the travel, then you probably should get your dealer involved as soon as possible.
The clutch should start engagin below about halfway of the pedal travel, then be fully engaged a couple of inches before the pedal stops.
Either that or someone is not getting the pedal fully depressed. Not that I have ever done that, but,..well,..uh,..just a thought (yeah, that's the ticket).

Ok, some of you are running about the forums nakkid and it is going to frighten the kiddies.
Here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...5&d=1180361788 is the URL for the NFR tag.
In your User CP, edit your signature and use the above URL for your sig tag. If you have a pic of your Mini, just upload it and I will get around to making a joint tag for you. Just make sure your sigpic is 100 pixels tall.

kimmc, whine tips....
1) The best whine is the one they do not see coming. Sort of like being run over by a Mack truck you never saw. If you dunt(tm) see it, then it won't hurt.
2) Any topic/post can be turned into a whine. It is a test of your skills as a writer. In all things there is a negative aspect. Find it, and you have your whine.
3) Lunacy is your friend. Dunt(tm) be afraid to be a little loony. In some ways it is expected.
4) The best whines stem from a passion you have about something. Take the topic, turn it into that something and let er rip!
5) When in doubt, let the whine it out!
6) Never apologize for your whine. You must always be too self-absorbed to be concerned about how the reader feels about your whine.
7) If your whine is funny. Then laugh about it.
8) Never be afraid to talk to yourself. No matter what they say, some really awesome whines come from having an argument with yourself.
9) Avoid lint ***** at all costs.
10) Dress sloppy when you are ready to whine. Put on mismatching socks. Take off one shoe, let one shirt tail hang out. Dunt blow your nose, just let it run. The more disgusting you feel, the more heightened the whine will be.
And that concludes the 10 steps to better whines. Practice, practice, and practice.
