We all like to BELIEVE that. Each in our own state (or country if you count Dennis). Although when I picked up CARJOY, I was told I was the second NFR, not the first (or the ONLY). The first was NFR with white. I have never seen it. It could be another one of those urban legends. But then again, I am living with 4 Million other people so it could be well hidden out there in the jungle amongst the tall glass and cacti!

 

Exactly what I think. I bought mine in the fall when the sunlight is not direct here in the midwest and i think it looks more maroon. There is no telling what mine is going to look light in the bright summer sun next year. i'm actually kind of excited. I have been in a garage with brighter lights and i think it looks a bit orangish. maybe i was drunk.

 

I'm awaiting the arrival of my solid NFR MC. It is currently awaiting transport in Southampton.

 

i bet it looks cool!

 

OMG! THE MINI GRAIL!!!! WOOT!

 

Terry & Plasma....welcome officially to the NFR...I'm the Database Man..Stop me while I'm passing by..Oh, I'm the Database Man...(oh, you all know the rest!)

I need some particulars so I can add ya'll into the NFR database! (It's kind of like a passing right!). I need your MINI's name, roof color, stripes, transmission, packages, and any other options such as interior colors, seats, etc etc...anything you can add will be included. Oh...and your locations!

Terry...the former Manitoba Moderator to our MINI club now lives in St Louis...I think he still has a BRG Convert with stripes...he sold me his winter tires when he left the frozen north..if you ever see him, tell him the winter tire guy in Winnipeg says hello!

 

Well, I know the truth to be...Dennis got the 1st Canadian NFR...so that is something! But I know there's another one in Winnipeg, just haven't seen it yet. A young girl saw Bubbles crusing around, went the dealership and said, "I want one"...so now there are 2! I know that there are also 2 Oxygen Blues floating around out there in this city...just haven't seen them yet. As well, one person from Toronto signed on here and said hello once...never saw him again!?

Hmm...maybe people are buying them and storing them in a barn somewhere? Or maybe it's one crazy person? Or maybe they're being abducted by aliens?

 

OMG!!! We will be next??? Do I dare venture out this morning???? Will CARJOY be safe??? Will they just take CARJOY and leave me to walk home alone and lonely???? Tune in same NFR thread, same NFR forum.......

 

Here's my data:

Car's name: Deimos, Color: NFR Roof/Body, Transmission: Manual, Packages: Cold & Premium, Added: Multi-Function Steering, DSC, Sport Seats, Front Fog Lights, Wheels: 15" Rotator Spokes, Mud Flaps, Interior Color: Black Leatherette, I will probably be adding black bonnet stripes soon after the car arrives. I am located in western Arkansas.

I know of at least one other NFR on the forums from Arkansas. Beyond Tess and myself, I'm not sure if others exist.

 

I already discussed the matter with the aliens when they got me a while back. I told them everyone was like me and they dropped me off and left for good. Something about,..no intelligent life,..so why bother.

 

Ummm...when I say aliens....I mean from other countries! hahaha...A bunch of Star Wars fans out there hoping for more?

 

Like yourself!

 

Not up here I'm not...You're all the aliens to me!

 

I just got a lovely door ding.

 

That just bites! So far,..knowking on every hunk of what appears to be wodd in the house, Romi is ding free. The only thing she has had to enfure was someone carving a lovely figure 8 into her bonnet with thier key.

 

what the....! Someone keyed your car?! Wouldn't you like to get your hands on them? I'll help.

 

NO!!!! I feel for you. CARJOY is ding free so far. Knock on wood!

 

She was parked at a very nice restaurant when it happened. No idea who did it or why. I already fixed her, for the most part. About as good as she will be until I repaint the entire bonnet.

 

We will send out a posse of NFR owner's to track them down. tar and feathers ready?

 

HA!

 

How'd you fix her, you know, worst case scenario...

 

I FINALLY got my British-style license plate installed on CARJOY this afternoon. I'm heading out to take pictures if the rain has stopped.

 

The paint was raised up leaving a ridge. I wet sanded it down to smooth, being very careful to catch the particles of paint coming off the bonnet.

Then mixed the paint chips in some thinner and shot it back onto the bonnet with an airbrush. Then I shot some clear over that. You can still see remnants of the scratch, but it is smooth again. Once NFR becomes readily available I will shoot the entire bonnet.

 

Cool!

 

terrytrucker...what did you name your MINI?
