Only 4 tickets? You slackker!

When they send the armed militia to get you, then you can brag.

 

I woulda' thought the dirty MINI would be more inconspicuous. If it's really thick enough, maybe it could absorb all the waves of the radar gun and act as your cloaking device!

 

Well, if you look back a million posts ago, I did mention that I'd be rally driving through the forest and sliding sideways into the curb popping the tires off the rims....didn't I? Halfway there now!

 

Crack me up! Somehow I got a very vivid image of that dennis and am on the floor! (it has been a loooong day)

 

Zoom Zoom Zoom......

 

Zoom Zoom? No way. Those dang Mazda's are lint carriers. I dunt(tm) trust em. Something fuzzy about thier logic. It ain't right.

 

That's why I added the third "Zoom"....it's the sound of the internal lint removal system!

 

Had me worried there fer a bit dennisd. Though we lost you to the dark fuzzy side.

 

The Wife unit spotted an NFR in the wild the other day. It had stripes and black roof/mirror caps. She is turning into quite the spotter.

I have uet to see an NFR in the wild.

Saw one at the delar lot the other day. Had an nFR roof and mirror caps. Looked sort of naked.

 

My wife loves her NFR. The bluetooth function is really cool too.

 

That is the rare one Skuzz...I haven't heard of one or even seen a pic yet. That could be the collector car of this genre? Can you get a pic of it and post? Pleeeease?

 

I think someone at the mini dealer in Cincinnati has one of those "naked" NFRs. I always see it when I'm up there. I'll try to remember to get a photo next time.

 

If I get back around to the dealer, I'll see about getting a shot of that 'nekkid' NFR.

Nice tag there eej.

 

Welcome eej, hmmm, that tag looks familiar??? Have been away for awhile, but wanted to make sure the NFR group was still motoring along.

 

We NFR Support Group....the few, the proud, the really crazy! No getting rid of us! Even tho the Lint ***** came marching along, we survived!

 

I've been a long-time lurker but my husband outed me this morning using my log-on, so I thought I would introduce my new Mini here.

Ordered from Global Imports in Atlanta on the 26th of August, the car was at the dealer on the September 30th and I picked her up on Oct 6th. I was very happy with the whole shopping experience except that she was on one of those "untrackable" ships.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car.

Details:
MCa Nightfire Red w/black
Chrome mirror caps
Tuscan beige leather interior w/cream color line/oak trim
Premium, Sport, Sound, Convenience packages
iPod adaptor
Xenon Head lights
Rear fog lights
White turn signals

 

GHarbick,..WELCOME to the insanity that is NFR! We are the unseen, the motion just in periphy view, the silent wind that moves through time and space ever vigilant and watchful for the LINT *****! The DoD just thinks they know about stealth!

And that Mini is a good looking Mini!! WTG!!

 

Hey, I'm still alive...sorta. I've been peaking in, but mostly AWOL. I'm ready for '08, fed up with '07.

Harbick, she's a sweet lookin' li'l beast! The Tuscan looks great, I don't think I've seen that on NFR before.

 

Absolutely gorgeous GH....We couldn't get those interior color combo's here in Canada...very limited! I love it!

I need 2 things for the NFR database...your location...and what you named the car! As Secretary to the NFR Insane Asylum, I welcome you!

 

Thanks for the kind welcome everyone.

I live in the Atlanta area and my car's name is Rosie aka Mini Marauder. She acquired the Rosie name thanks to my husband sending out birth announcements with the name and I think it's kind of nice, though a little predictable.

I was worried about not getting an S model, but this one has plenty of energy. I love driving again.

My husband likes it so much he's planning his Mini. It will be a while -- have to wait till this one is paid for.

Hahaha...good to see the girls win, G!

We have a company in Atlanta...maybe one day I'll see it driving along and I'll wave like madly! Don't worry..it's just me! A Crazy Canadian!

 

Wait until you hit break-in miles. She will get a bit quicker and better gas mileage too. WOOT!

And dunt(tm) worry aboot our crazy Canuck. He is harmless,...unless.....no...nevermind,....we won't bring that up again.

 

You guys win...the OB thread is five pages back!!!

BTW, anybody seen any #s from MINI on R56 colors sold in the U.S.? We used to get this stuff on the earlier model but I've seen nothing. Maybe at the close-out of the '07s??

 

Hey All,

It's been a while for me too...good to know that the craziness continues!

BTW have any of you had a problem with the boot power socket? The power works but the socket pops loose. Thought I would ask here before I made a general post.

 

You're right about the tag Shaka. I guess NFR owners just have excellent taste. I just got back from a 1700 mile road trip to Texas and Sir Ranulph performed admirably. I averaged 38.5 MPG! It's nice to be able to pass up so many gas stations.
