See, the trick is to start off completely crazy. Like checkered interior, roof, engine bay decals. Then you can comprimise to only the mirror covers!

Thanks.
Here's the main collection. There's not a traditional badge for NFR, and the generic "not quite R56" is buried in this thread I think. Or if you find someone else using it, you can just save the image from their signature. (Right? Maybe you lose resolution?)

I wonder how fireproof the interior is. The boot is the perfect size for a hibachi! That sounds like another cool aftermarket idea! A little hibachi that fits right into the boot, has a little lid that's level withi the boot frame for when not in use. I should start a business

Me? Last I checked I was driving an NFR Mini, and this thread appears to be NFR support.

Is this one the 'traditional' badge you are talking about?

Interruption? Nah. It was an augmentation. A quip. An utterance. A reminder to those who would not know how they should react in the advent of being subjugated in a thread they feel mollified enough to let down their guard.

Good morning. Still raining here in Kansas. Hoping we don't get it like Texas. How's it looking down there today?

Today is supposed to be a repeat of yesterday. The pattern is supposed to continue through the weekend.

I wish the same here was different, but it isn't supposed to be.

Beautiful here in PA today, after several days of storms(nothing like Texas though). Time to wash the "shak" again, open the sunroof and do some motoring...

Rained hard lst night. I got a sandbag wall up around the patio with a couple of pumps keeping the water away from the house. Oddly, it also allows me to get to the grill. At least there is that.

Been raining, off and on, all morning so far. I may go completely nuts (surprise! I aint there yet!) if this does not stop soon!!!!! ARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!

Crapola, I hope everything's OK Skuzz. I haven't heard any too awful news about the weather lately. I hope it stays that way and the house stays dry.

I won't mention the nice motoring weather here, as I pretty much have to work all weekend.

The thing with the rain is how spotty it is. 5 miles from here the Sun may be shining. The news is clueless about what is going on.

Our neighborhood is not the worst in the area either. We are up on a hill. I already helped neighbors at the bottom of the hill with bagging their houses. A couple of the homes have bags completely surrounding their homes. Every time a good rain hits now, they have a foot of water surrounding them.

Looks like some type of war game is going on around here with all the bags of sand.

Sorry you are having to work all weekend. That does suck.

I shouldn't complain, it's my side gig which means extra $$$. But Mia feels dejected, I teased her with a good washing and now she's sitting there. But that saves $$$ as we'd end up shopping again!

Hey, Guys, I know we're supposed to stay "on thread", but since our group is a little off anyway, I thought maybe it would be OK to ask this here. It's about the gas tank. Supposedly, the gas tank is "at least 10.5" gallons. I've filled up 3 times when the "low fuel" alert had just come on. Twice, it took over 11 gallons. Today it was 12.5!!!!!!!!! Are y'all having the same experience?
My sons said some gas stations in Austin were shut down for overstating the gallons & therefore the cost. I always buy from one of the top 2 in the market; I'd like to think they aren't doing that....what do y'all thinki? Tks!

Oops, sorry, I found the gas tank capacity thread. What a relief!! (Tried to delete the post, but couldn't figure out how!!)

It's ok Twings....the 11 gallons stated doesn't include the reserve volume...which may be something like 13.5 gallons total? Since you're in the gas tank thread..you now probably know better than me?

Well, the opinions vary and some are pretty scientific....but at least 13.5. I thought it was weird that the manual said "at least" 10.6 gallons....like there could be multiple sizes! One more quirk of having a MINI...OK with me!
