Ahhh, Saginaw....Home of the annual Train and Grain Festival. Actually, that's not too very far from where we used to live. We lived on a small residential airport off of 170 between 35W and 377. I could see Alliance Airport out my kitchen window.

Perhaps we will meet at one of the MM events. We are going to try to make it to the picnic in September.

My problem is that I almost always wish I had one in every color. Chili Red does look good.

He came barreling out of the woods, sorta bounced back after he went headfirst into the MINI, took a couple steps backward, then came forwards towards my LadyG (I didn't hit him I was able to move to the right as he was on the yellow lines), and I guess he ran back into the woods.

Definitely!

***off topic - looks like I won't be making it to Asheville this October after all. My work has a no/very limited leave policy in Sept/Oct (it's our craziest time), and my husband has a sailboat race on our one October holiday weekend. GRRR. I'm gonna start working on plans for 2009 NOW!

Oh, and here's a pic from Saturday. Me & LadyG with some friends in SC. We went to the BMW plant to see the Roadster Homecoming, then went to lunch.



Man, that HC looks awesome in the sun!

ETA: You can also see the new stubby antenna!

After a few positive recommendations, I got mine from Minspeed: http://minspeed.net/

It's the 4" antenna. Looks and works just great! Shipping was very fast, got it in 3 days!

Thanks, ClubDal!

Lady Godiva Question...

Lady Godiva,
I was looking at your gallery... really awesome looking car, very, very sweet!...(pardon the pun)

Your opinion on the armrest? i'm assuming that this is the armrest that came from the factory, right? .... do you use it? do you think you'd miss it if you didn't have it??......

hate to hijack the thread, just curious.... I didn't order it on mine and I have till Thursday (order accepted at factory) to fully finalize..... just wondering out loud if I want it...... mostly commute driving in my case....
