Trip

I'm glad you and Dawn got home safely. Great pics too! Looks like Dawn knows how to handle herself in a pinch.:impatient It's good to see another beautiful purple car.

That second 'fog' photo should be on the NAM calendar

Cleaned the car and waxed her with the trusty Porter Cable... It's cloudy now (of course) and you can't tell, but she's awfully shiny now, trust me. Note the first mod - my stubby antenna (performed by Kara):



Thanks to everyone that's been following my threads on this!

Refresh the page - it should show the purple one now. "Shift+Refresh" should load the page as it is, not as it's cached on your PC...

Groovy. I just didn't know how Dawn would feel, with her pic there but with Nano's name underneath. Kinda creepy.

Not only does it show purple, it shows purple on all your former Nano posts.

No, it was right AFTER the last time you fixed it - but for a while it showed purple pic, but Nano's description...

Great adventure and really nice pictures. You give me good incentive to motor down to the Antenna Array in NM. The pictures with Dawn are superb.

Sorry about the Gator, Rock and the local SP, at least you caught a nice one.

Like your first mod, I'm sure more to come and your Dawn will have her very own personality.

Keep us informed and from your posts, you sound pleased. Drive safe.

What a cool adventure. I need a good road trip with some fun stops like that!

Dawn is beautiful, and with the way things came about I am positive it was meant to be.

Matt, looks great. I'll do a couple of spray-out panels this week and bring them to breakfast on Saturday.

What a great tale - glad to hear you and Dawn made it back okay

When we picked up our 03 MCS in New Hampshire and drove it back to San Francisco we covered the front in painters tape for the trip - helped a lot with the bugs and paint but did not make for as photogenic a Mini

Nice pics- anyone know how to find out how many purple MSCc's there are? This is the first one I've seen-great color combo BTW- I'm thinking they are kind of rare.

It would be so cool and perfect if you could synch "Purple Haze" with those pics in OK in the fog!

Mods are going up... Blacked out the beltline, side markers, tails and grille. Dropped in my hex-grille supercharger protector. Put on my euro-plate and blue tow hook... Just got my box o' parts salvaged from Nano, so I hope to do the airbox, front strut bar and a few other odds and ends this weekend...

It's dark and raining here so no pics ATM, but as soon as the sun comes out (and I wipe dpwn the car) I'll shoot a few new ones.
