Hmmm,..me thinks a hidden message may lie in that post,..but, like the window on a submarine, it probably would not be wise to open it.

They are strange creatures, so I have been told. I visited there once. They kept talking about this 'boot'. Singular in nature. Not sure what that was about, and I am pretty sure I did not want to know.

Could be code. Keep a vigil eye to the North. They may be coming. Not today, maybe not tomorrow,..but I am pretty sure they will be coming. I can feel it in me bones. Course,..that could be a calcium deficiency at work too.

Well my saving grace is they will reach you first! So I guess when I stop seeing your posted prose, I'll know..... Time to head south!

Phoenix is about 100 miles further North than the D/FW area. At least, it used to be.

Just because you talk about a 'boot' a lot does not mean you could fit in around these parts. Remember the Alamo!

Side Note: Funny phrase that one. I remember the Alamo. It was where we got pretty much slaughtered like so many pigs for bacon. Not something I really want to remember. We are a silly lot.

I keep forgetting to read this thread last every morning. I need more coffee and/or coffee-like substances to comprehend Skuzzy-isms first thing in the morning!

I live in St. Louis and I am under the impression that I am the only one who has a NFR. Do you think thie availability of this color will last long?

There's only like 10 Mini's in Myrtle Beach (on the high side) and I'm pretty darn sure I'll be the only one with NFR. I like that though. Although all the pics with the orange undertones keep scaring me. I've seen it in person so I know it's not orange but still... This is the stuff nightmares are made of while waiting for the arrival.
Update: Rosey's boat has been delayed by at least a day. We'll see if it's pushed even further back tomorrow.

The S outsells the Cooper by a huge margin here in the U.S. But the other way around in the rest of the world. NFR is available for the 08 models. At one time there was utterances being tossed about that NFR would not be offered, but those are now just rumors brought to you by the "models unique to have association" (*****)

NFR is a chameleon color. Different lighting conditions change the shade of red dramatically. In bright sunlight, it appears as a deep, rich, red. At night time under street lights is glows with an irredescent oraange. On cloudy days it appears to have more metal flake in it.

It is a color befitting its owner. Kind of wierd, playful, exuberant, wired, and always poised for action.
