Newbie in Massachusetts

Hola nerdMINIgos! (for all those "Big Bang Theory" fans). Just joined NAM last week. My wife and I are awaiting the arrival of our 2012 spice orange S convertible, hopefully next week!

She arrived in the NJ VDC on Friday after a looooong 12 day trip from Southamton, then Belgium, then Halifax NS.

Looking forward to getting her home and in the garage, which will be a new thing since we've NEVER had a car in the garage before in all the years we've owned the house. Seemed kinda like preparing a baby room .

Anyway, a question: I want to update my signature with a picture of our ride but can't figure out how to embed it. Can anyone share how to do it?

Thanks

Welcome aboard

You are going to have much more fun than having a a new born

As for posting pictures, this should help:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post3171425

There is a lot of info in the site...good place to start on most subjects is to do a search...even start the search in Google, sometimes you will get better results.

Where about in Mass is this car going to live?

Welcome aboard. Funny time of year to be buying a convertible, but to each his/her own. Happy motoring!

There's also www.nemini.org for mini activities in the Northeast.

Yes, I keep forgetting that there's another Lexington other than the one in Massachusetts.

And it was a good excuse to reorganize the garage so it wouldn't be exposed to the ice and snow.
