Yay. I can finally officially join this group.
Picked up "Prince Charlie" over the weekend and have been very busy practicing driving him.(First time driving manual)
Still need to make my launch and shift more gentle and less choppy. Any advice?
Here is a pic of him at the dealership. I will post some more pics after putting the strips and tints on him.

Before I became disabled I swear I washed my Jeep every couple of days and weekly waxing wasn't out of the question.
Now I sit in my garage on a shop stool looking at Pumpkinhead. I sit there going, IS THAT A CHIP?!!, IS THAT A SCRATCH?!!, DID SOMEONE DING MY DOOR?!! IS THAT A CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD?!! Naw, it's just dirt and those damn bugs! At least with my Jeep if I didn't feel up to washing it I could allow the dirt and bugs to build up to protect the paint while still looking like a Jeep should.
Did I forget to mention I love my Pumpkinhead. The most fun I've had on 4 wheels without having to go off-road to get a smile on my face.
I didn't get no stinking car cover! (I know it wasn't swag but it was fun to say)
I'm still trying to find a way to fold up my garage so I can put it in the boot when I leave the house. The only thing making it difficult is that it's attached.

I wish the cover is a bit cheaper. Since Prince Charlie is parked outside all the time, it wouldn't make sense for me to get a cover for him. Not that my neighborhood is unsafe or anything, but I am just going to be paranoid that someone will take the cover.
So Prince Charlie will be naked for the time being.

You being that happy makes me smile. I think we all should feel this way
I managed to get Pumpkinhead out in some torrential rain Friday so he took a nice shower!

An outdoor cover on the ther hand sounds like trouble. Wouldn't want to see your investment walk, and it probably would

Nope. That Lot is closer to me than the lot we purchased Purrl from so I'm thinking next time I need to go in for something, I'll bring her there.

I saw a MCS hardtop in Pumpkinhead color today on my way home. Orange body, black top and black wheels. I looked a couple times at the driver trying to make eye contact and get a wave, but he never look over. I have yet to get a wave here in Cali and I see at least one or two MINI everyday.
I guess not all orange MC is as cool as Pumpkinhead?

They probably wanted to check out the back side of Viv and saying "Gosh, why didn't I get a blue one"

Maybe he got flustered because Viv is such a fine looking gal!

I feel like I'm one of the Little Rascals.
I'm a member in good standing of the Non-Wavers Haters Club.
Everyone raise your right hand . . No, your
other right hand. . . I, Pumpkinhead (all repeat)…Member in good standing of the MINI Cooper Non-Waver Haters Club (all repeat)…do solemnly swear to be a real waving MINI Cooper and hate Non-Wavers and not play with them or talk to them unless I have to. And especially: never fall in love. And if I do, may I die slowly and painfully and suffer for hours or until I scream bloody murder. (all try to repeat)
