OK I have a general question here.... I see in people's sigs a number associated with their color support group. Where's my number????

 

I have no clue what you are talking about. Example?

 

For a couple chili red owners sigs
'04 MCS, CROC #500, Anthracite interior,
03 MCS Chili Red CROC #89

A powder white owner sig
PW#92 -

A dark silver owner's sig
DSOC #70

 

Hmm,..no clue where those came from. Unless those are the numbers of the order thier Mini's came in and they joined the color group they are in. dennisd could provide that. He is keeper of all that is NFR.

 

Ok, and the update, sorry I haven't been able to poste sooner but my internet was down at home. I picked up Rosey Saturday morning and SHE HAS A DENT!!!! SOOOO not cool! They hadn't even spotted it and I just walked in and was like She has a DENT! They're obviously going to fix it but still, It did not help with the whole feeling of getting screwed no matter what I do out here. (The day before I found a crack in the foundation when I ripped up the moldy carpet from the leak and my last car was a total lemon. Oh well. It's only a ding but still, it's supposed to be brand new and pristine. I guess they smacked her on the butt a little too hard. it's right by the gas cap so I'm wondering if something happened when they were installing the gas cap. I'll be uploading pics into my gallery this morning. They are going to be helpful and come pick her up for me to get her fixed so I don't have to make the drive back down to Charleston yet again.

 

Sorry to hear about the ding Kitty! Hopefully it is something that can be repaired by a dent doctor os some type.

By the way, cracks in foundations are normal, as long as they are surface cracks. You only have to worry if the crack goes all the way through the foundation.

 

maybe the numbers are production numbers... If that's the case then I should be #3 for the 2008's, or at least that's what my dealer told me when we placed the order.

 

The numbers aren't important. Was just curious because I've seen them so often. I just figured it was the record number of the support thread's database.

 

Hmmm,..I got nothin.

 

Well it is Monday after all.... And you have to work 5 whole days.... like the us poor disinfranchised who have been working full weeks all along!!!

 

Ok..being the database dude..I have no idea what the numbers are either. Maybe they are production numbers, shipping numbers, dealer numbers, special-secret-code numbers, number from McDonald's Happy Meals?

Has anyone thought about asking someone who has a number?

 

Kitty....sorry about your ding....but raising these kids is a hair-raising event. This week I found the infamous "Shopping Cart Collision" on the passenger side...sigh....and the famous "Check Engine Light" tormented my nervous system for 3 months...Oh, kids...who invented them?

 

THAT would make too much sense, if I did that!!! Com'on!!

Ok... I'll track someone I know down....

 

Numbers? I don't think you need numbers. Be different. Well, not too different. Just different enough.

The velvet red owners never got organized enough to have an owner's club.

Perhaps I'm supposed to join the Mellow Yellow owner's club now. Who knows.

You guys are more entertaining than the MY folks.

 

Whatta mean entertaining! We are pondering life's mysteries over here. We tackle the BIG issues! We are more than just a color you know! We have more than just beauty!

 

you could say the mellow yellows are a bunch of blondes... remember I drove one for a week...

 

ah, sorry about that Kitty, I know it's not a fun way to start out, but look at it this way...it was bound to happen sometime, so now the first ding is out of your system and you get it fixed up perfect for free!

The Kia has made me realize how unbelievably lazy I've become...it has manual locks and windows, and it's killing me! I'm gonna take it as inspiration to start walking more again!

Snid--I heard about your incident a way's back, is the brown MINI fixed up or are you actually driving a MY?

 

I think what shocked me most was that they hadn't even noticed it. it is hard to see unless the sun is hitting it right but still... it just made me even more paranoid but it made me go over the rest of teh car with a fine tooth comb. they almost took it back to the detail shop to get re-detailed before i took it home b/c there were like water spots in places where they did a sucky job. She is pretty and she'll be getting a bath from me very soon to erase the bad detail job. I've never been this OCD about a car before. I need help!

 

too late, you've been infected...in your welcome pack there may be a postcard that basically says a dirty, and even scratched, MINI is a happy MINI, because it means it's being driven! That mentality helps!

On the numbers, this is the most popular one methinks

I think it stands for MINI Motoring Club...it's all make believe which does suit us well!

 

Oh #1, you are just brimming with knowledge!!!

 

The brown MINI has become mobile again, but just barely. It's sitting for the winter, then in the spring it will become my track and autocross car. As long as things aren't too badly bent up, that is.

For those that missed the story: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ht=opportunity

Since the brown MINI was undrivable at the time, and there were only two payments left to be made on it, I went and bought a 2006 MCS in mellow yellow / black. Needing a car immediately, I didn't get a chance to order one up the way I wanted it, and had to buy off the lot.

 

Entertaining? I always thought we were too serious. I mean, fighting the good fight against lint and the oppressors of Tacos is serious business.

We r teh seksie!! The proud! The nakkid! The NFR!!!

My condoloences.....I mean that. I really do. I could not be more serious if I tried. Although,..I never really try very hard. Uhmmm,..maybe I am not that serious. Maybe I do not mean it at all! Maybe I am just pulling yer leg!! I mean that! I really do!

He is busting out with sumptin,...not sure what it is yet. Not even sure if it is legal.

 

Now why did you have go and use the word nakkid! DennisD63 is going to get all worked up again, Wicked carjoy is going to have to tie him up in the basement again, its not going to be pretty. I thought we had an understanding!

 

Oh dang it! I forgot!! It was a subconscious thing! A gun was being held to my head! I had to go to the bathroom! The parking lot was full! I r brain dead! My feet are swollen! My hair IS ON FIRE!!!!! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!!!

 

Excuses! Excuses! Off with your head!
