Mia is here!!!

I know you won't believe me, but my darn camera batteries died this morning!!! Super busy now, but will post at lunch.

The color is simply awesome, it really does morph with the light. Will discuss more about the car later as well, but again, simply awesome! Driving highlight so far was the micro-sized parking spot I got last night! (Parking lot space is on its way, but I love being able to fit in spots no one else can!)

Rooandren, how can you do this to me?

Now I've got from mild Braxton-Hicks contractions to full blown back labor! It's absolutely the worst.....and remember I'm a man...so the best is still yet to come!

I think you should be making an extra special trip to Walmart for all of us just so you can go out and get those damned batteries!

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....................

Here she is!!!

I wanted to spread the love, so I formerly introduced her here
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=100532

YEEEEEHAAAAA!!!! Lovin' it! Except that I've barely driven her yet.

I'm very excited to see the orange come out, and I really can say that it's going to be a different unique color in every light.

Congratulations! It looks really great. I just found out today that mine will be ready for pick-up Saturday morning! I'm glad to hear about the small parking space since that's what I've been given by my building manager until a 'real' on frees up at the end of the month.

The looooong wait (ordered march 8) is finally just about over!

Excellent! Of course kimmc, you know you are obligated to share pics as well!

If there is one reason I will accept the "honor" of being the first, I did place my order Februrary 7th!!! But I heard of people at MINI2 who ordered in November...

Our support group can now turn into a happy, joyful optimists group! If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone! Anyone else still have a long wait still? Even Skuzzy must be on US soil by now! I guess Winnie was just recently ordered (gosh, I am sooo stupid, I just got the Winnie Cooper connection...ah, I'm not supposed to air when I'm been stupid).

NFR Club Name

Skuzz suggested we move from Support Group to Official Club. I think it could be cool to stick around here in this thread, but let's kick around some other suggestions.
I'll start.

"Skuzzy and the Warlocks Present the Official Nightfire Red Owner's Club"

Edit: Oh, I didn't see Skuzzy was just discussing that above...that's why I sound like a dork.

Well, I need to fix the tag so it has a functional transparent background. I think it does that as the bulletin board resizes it and it loses the transparency.

Tyr using the full size of the one in this post. It is set to be 100 pixels high, which should prevent the bulletin board from resizing it, thus preserving the transparency.

Rooandren: I ordered Winnie sometime in the 3rd week of March. The Canadian port (Halifax) is pretty far away from me in Winnipeg...(hence...Winnie!) so it will take about 2 weeks to get to me once she reaches Canadian soil!

So, what will the relationship be between the Nightfire Red owners / cars and the Velvet Red owners / cars (the new brown and the old brown )?

ROFL Rooandren! Those are great!

The tag looks better. I'll see about generating a new one so I do not have to resize it rooandren. Too much aliasing in that resized one.

Hmmmm.

Nightfire Red of the Round Table
Nightfire Red Motoring Group
Noble Nightfire Red Honorees

How about coming up with 10 suggestions, then let's vote?

Nightfire Red is not really brown. It favors brown, but is a very deep red. Sexy, fun, definately catches your eye. They are very different colors from the pics of the Velvet Red I have seen.

My 10 name suggestions...
1) DeadRedHeads
2) A bunch of damned sexy car owners (it doesn't say we're sexy, but that our cars are!)
3) Nightfire Knights (pronounced kniiiggggits - like Monty Python)
4) Nightfire Riders
5) The "Blood"

6)...ok, just getting silly now....

I just got a call from my MA. Winnie just pulled into harbor in Halifax today...she's a Canadian now, which means customs, rail travel and then detailing and adding the options I ordered...which means in turn 2 more weeks! At least it should be here on the promised date...so far!
