Will pass on the sacred button D! Congratulations Gemini. Lister is a fine looking Clubman! I know how you feel about the "nakedness". I changed the bonnet stripes on Malcolm and when the factory ones came off.....it was a shocker! All will be well by the end of the day. You'll have to post another picture of him fully dressed!

BTW, D, it will be 90 here today. Come visit the home office and thaw out!

So, I have to show you guys what my amazing husband got for me for Valentine's Day.

He took the standard die-cast and had it painted up as an exact replica of Lola, complete with bonnet stripes, chrome line exterior, black trim/roof and even my licence plate...he even got the white turn signals! :-) Now THAT, is true romance!

You'd better be careful - any more of that kind of talk and there could be repercussions! You might be forced to turn in all your Canadian Tire money
(even the $2.35 in the bottom of your kitchen drawer. Yes, you know it's there - - every house in Canada has at least $2.35 in Canadian Tire money in a kitchen drawer). And as for your "roll up the rim" privileges - I shudder to think!!

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Canada- not like- Love.
The people are awesome and the beer is great. It's just cold.
Hell, I even watched curling on TV.
Y'all got a pretty good country up there.

+1 to all your points!

- - Except about curling - it's pretty boring to watch on TV IMHO. Great fun to play, though. Most of the game is spent sitting at the bar saying, "Is it my turn yet? Oh, then I'll have another Molson's.."

I was just messing with you. It's all good.

Jumboshrimp...now that you've returned...I need to know what kind of transmission you have (in your car!)...that spot is empty in the NFR database!

(The database man...always vigilant)

I'm sad :(

My new baby is staying overnight at the dealership so they can do the bonnet stripes, car care kit, and fix my iPod adapter. I'm driving around a loaner car... a pepper white/blk MC.

You were a zebra in a former life?

Or a referee?

Or a bumblebee?

Or you like John Candy, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis.....a lot?

So I open up the "Coupe Talk 2007+" forum on NAM, and what do I see?

On the first page of posts, there are posts from:

The Oxygen Blue Owner's Club;

The Laser Blue Owner's Club;

The Horizon Blue Owner's Club;

and

The Lightning Blue Owner's Club.

Sheesh! What's with the blue already??

Are the Blue MINI's trying to take over the forum? I smell a conspiracy!

This is just a "bump" for the Nightfire Red Owner's Club - to stop the blue monotony.

Power to the People!! (who drive NFR MINIs)!
