    LIMITED ORDER WINDOW - Must be Ordered by Midnight on Sunday July 18, 2015.

    Spare me the story, just give me the LINK to order

    As many of you know GNAT, my trusty 2006 Slightly Modded MINI has been undergoing a bit of a rebuild.

    Sitting on the porch overlooking the goings on at MOTD 2015 Emily Martian created the watercolor "GNAT with a Broken Heart" Not only does this loveable character grace the Tee-Shirt, there are signed prints of the watercolor available too. Please visit Emily's Redbubble store and Facebook page. She creates some awesome art.

    "GNAT with a Broken Heart"



    In the thread it was written by Gil-galad "Are we getting Gnat rebuild commemorative t-shirts this time around?". I had no plans before that time, but as the posts piled on asking about a shirt and an interesting design idea from COOPERation...well, here we are.

    I make no bones about this, proceeds will be going to help defray the cost of rebuilding head, maybe even quieting the exhaust (much to the delight of a lady friend of mine) and lots of other little things that over time and with lots of track days and Ohio Winters, need work.

    There are others involved too,

    Chad and his team at Detroit Tuned is responsible for the vast majority of the work involved and dealing with me and my questions.

    Jan at RMW fixed the head, installed new springs, valves and other stuff.

    eMINIparts graciously supplied OEM parts, including some GP IC bits that were missing.

    Colin of Greene Performance came through with help on a new Motor Mount. The TSW prototype one I've had forever is really showing it's hard life.

    I'm touched that all of these people and now you too have helped with this endeavor. The MINI Community is incredible. Thank you for your continued support!

    As usual there is a 24 unit floor that must be met to place to the order with Evergreen Graphics, the same company that does all the MOTD and many MINI Club shirts. I'll keep a running tally in this thread.

    Shirt and Watercolor Print will be shipped from different locations.

    Watercolor is matted, framed, signed and numbered.

    Ordering over the weekend! Looks good Nate, but the pic of Gnat doesn't capture the shades of Space Blue...

    The various shadings of Space Blue are best enjoyed in person.

    Images of three of you bodypainting each other rotating disturbingly around in my head...

    There goes any chance of a peaceful night's sleep tonight.

    Thanks, but the thought of you and sheep together is even worse. I'm not even sure it's legal.
