    Wonderful news indeed Mr. Jim, and pretty fast delivery. Hope it is a great fit for the household. We are nearly 100% acclimated to our CM and that didn't take long! Like your Rover, our 95 Previa is wondering what the retirement plan is....

    Jim, We can understand both your excitement and anxiety. Our twins (CM and Roadster) also arrived via Taiko in May. You will be elated when he/she arrives. Both its appearance and performance are awesome. Best wishes!

    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas for Mr Jim!

    Now go out and talk nice to the Rover so she holds together for the last bit. :fingerscrossed:

    Introducing..... The Abominable Dr. Phibes!

    ImageUploadedByTapatalk1356303765.005024.jpg

    Since we went with Light White I originally saw Abominable as in Snowman, but it just wasn't "evil" enough, lol. Then with my love of old horror movies, a light went off, Vincent Price.... The Abominable Dr. Phibes! I looked up the movie poster and knew it was right....

    ImageUploadedByTapatalk1356303995.408238.jpg

    "Love means never having to say you're ugly". That's the Countryman!

    Mods already, stubby antenna, Dr. Phibes euro plate and Dr. Phibes custom Go-Badge....



    I'll work on my Garage after the holidays.
