    Move fast...I doubt that Way's initial stock is going to last very long.

    This thing is a "must have" for the MINI.

    By all means, get one from Way. This item is the best value of anything you might buy, and it works better than...almost anything I have ever bought. Ever.
    It really is the best thing out there. I have had mine for almost a month and cant understand why I have not had one since day one. Its that good.

    :cornut: One of Margi's(08 R56 BRG MCS/JCWm) 1st mods was a 'Light in Sight' back in 08. People ask me what it is and I tell the that it's the 'Electronic Gun Sight'.:eek6::eek6::Thumbsup:

    I <3 my LightInSight. I hope the fact of the back orders means that their business is brisk and healthy and will continue to be so.

    I hope you are right, but I think not. I've asked around and was told they are not made anymore. I remember when I ordered the two I already have, the guy was really difficult to work with and it took FOREVER to get delivery.
    That said, the one I described above is still a good alternative and only measures about 2"x2".

    So, until I hear that LISes are back in stock...no donut for YOU! :frown2: Of course, I COULD buy one now and just keep it around for when the LISes ARE back...Mmmmm...petrified donuts! :devil:

    Has anyone talked to Aaron at Outmotoring about this? I've always got mine from him and he had a connection there.

    Calling Aaron is a great idea! I told Jeff that, but he's old & probably forgot. :smilewinkgrin:
    Me thinks you are trying to get out of buying me a donut Jeff. :donut1:

    You and the Chuckster will ONLY get your donuts when those LISes are back on the market again. That company has been making promises for months, with nothing to show for them.

    I'd guess once the big LightNsight ship from China docks you'll have your do-hicky Jeff. I liked the lightynsighty, but hated how when the sun was in the wrong place in the sky it showed me that too. I gave mine away. :wink:

    I've always liked mine when it was in the R53 and R56. In the Coupe, with the windshield swept back, it's a must have. Jeff, I'll take a FRESH donut when they come in. :)

    Mark, I already have two of the Light in Sights. I took one off the R50 and put it on my wife's "new" R53, and I ordered the retro to use on the Cooper. I don't really care if it's old-fashioned or retro...hell, my Cooper is "old" now, too. It's all good...just so I can have a clear view of the traffic light without having to crain my neck every whichway.

    NO donuts for YOU, either, Buddy! :devil:
