Update:
I've shipped out the first batch of decals. They should arrive in your mailbox soon.
The second batch has been ordered and I'm awaiting for it to arrive and then I will catch up on the request.
Thanks for all the nice donations and letters. Rochelle and I are overwhelmed.
We had a thought if someone could tell us the fFrench translation of "Actual Size" we could make some of those for our Canadain friends.

I can tell you as soon as I get ahold of my friend which will be Monday at the latest.
My check went out on 7-20 so I hope mine is in the mail already
If not I'll just wait a little longer.
Thanks for the effort

English = Actural Size
French = La Grandeur Actuelle (Per my friend from Montreal)

Babelfish says "Actual Size" is"Echelle grandeur" with a diacritcial mark above the first "E", but I would go with the person in Montreal.
My SASE plus donation is in the mail for the second batch. Saw one on a MINI in California last week.

Ok for those who have ask for a place to make donations on paypal here is the web site Https://
WWW.PayPal.com
My Email address to use is
WCSolan@***.net
I've never done this with paypal so I hope it work for you guys.
I've deceided that in lieu of sending an SASE if you donate .38 (Which would cover the stamp, an envelope and paypals charges) I will mail you a Decal.

Did a reverse with babblefish and came up with
La Grandeur Actuelle = "Current Size"
and Echelle grandeur = "Scale Size"
Might be tough to translate?

La Grandeur Actuelle
Got mine today. Thanks!
I put it in the wrong place, though. Never was much for following instructions...

To keep it within the bounds of Canadian law, shouldn't they be in both English AND French! (Watch John Candy in Canadian Bacon! eh)

Isn't installing the
Actual Size sticker on the center brake light obscuring it? It's not like our MINIs have mondo-sized brake lights to begin with....
I like where DragonSlayer installed Wanda's: rear hatch window, lower right!

way cool
Funny since my plates will read ACTL SZ! I ordered them about two months ago. Got my car yesterday (Whoooo hooooooo) I wonder if adding the sticker would help the poeple trying to figure out what my plates say, or would ruin the fun????

MINIclo - when you step on the brake, the sticker pretty much disappears.
