This is a British Racing Green Convertible, or 'DropTop as I prefer to call it.
I've tagged the car as an MCSDT in my sig...
so this would make it a BRGDT...
the name that jumps out at me is Bridget...
and of course this would work well as an acronym for
BridGeT (Big Green Triangle)...
Watcha'll think?

It'd have to be NOAP - Not A Plymouth. I'm actually driving a 94 Voyager. The Honda is my dads - we are all doing the "vehicle shuffle".
Explanation (in white as it is off-topic. Highlight to read.): I'm buying (my life savings, eek!) a new car, and selling the precious (junky) vehicles - I get a cut of sold vehicles. Funds split, half to me, half to another car to replace the Safari+Honda. Need a GM Safari? Pull behind camper? Parking lot does not even describe our driveway : ) The bug was my first vehicle (in HS) and is a perpetual project car. Runs, not for sale. Did a few mods to the VW, steering wheel swap, mono pushbutton stereo hack, re-upholstery, carpet, but cannot weld.

Hey! We have to post photos of our MINIS on this thread once we get them.

I understand on the add-ons. Mine also has Aero Kit, R90s, tires, JCW air box and Invisishield to be applied before delivery. I'll see it at the dealer before they do the work to approve the factory build components.

My car should be leaving on the AIDA tomorrow and I'd like to track the boat across the ocean.
TIA

She is SCFI and you can review her USCG history here http://cgmix.uscg.mil/psix/PSIX2/det...esselID=370430
Hope you get loaded and on your way!

I can't get the K-Line site to acknowledge the Bill of Lading number in their cargo tracking system, but what the h3ll...
Slightly off-topic sidebar comment:
I watched them install stripes on someone's new car just before they were heading home... a 240 mile drive! They ran the engine for about 30 minutes afterwards to help the stripes cure on before driving away. How lousy would that have been to see those flapping in the wind on day one (it was raining like crazy that day!!)

I wonder if the EDD was changed to 8/4, since it arrived there on 8/4. It's only days now!

Yoo Hoo for You!!
I hope they have already pre-painted the Aero Kit and you'll be Beaning along the highways early next week.
Congrats

I'm LOSING MY MIND . I've been working nights till 2 AM, waking up at 9:00AM and getting to work 2 hours late (at 10:00). Sigh. I can barely concentrate on the rush project in front of me. At least the MINI will have been paid off by the end of the Summer -> how are those of you who are almost there coping? Sorry for the post, needed to vent a bit...
