    We were going to name her Scarlet, but MIA may stick:D

    Lois, I'll always remember meeting you for the first time in Hill City at the inaugural HPMS event, back when I had my '05 PW/B. We were both up at the crack of dawn (despite the below freezing temp) to be first in line at the local car wash.

    A CR Roadster, eh? It appears that great minds continue to think alike. :Thumbsup:

    I remember reading this book when I was a wee lad (still available on Amazon, BTW) and ever since I couldn't imagine owning a R59 of another color...

    Hearty congrats to you both!

    Not right this minute Mark, but YES, there will be another MINI and it will be a Coupe. My dealer is in Baltimore, so that will help. Maybe they will open a MINI outlet store, with discount, slightly damaged cars and parts. :cornut:

    So, I take it the roadster is "hers" and the JCW is "his"? :Thumbsup:

    Well after meandering around out at sea, on what I guess was a party boat, our Roadster has landed in Baltimore:D

    Dealer called and said they hope to get her to STL on Wednesday:Thumbsup:

    So our Roadster is MIA along with 5 other MINIs. MINI USA says the cars are at the dealer, our online tracking says the cars are at the dealers, the dealers tracking says the cars are at the dealers. The cars are NOT at the dealers, and it seems nobody can track the truck.

    MINI USA says ownership has passed to the dealer, out of their hands:crazy::eek:ut::skep:

    The dealers says they will make this up to us:cool::devil:

    The look, feel, and placement of the gauge is actually quite nice, it's the function of it that is rather silly and superfluous. You just need to come up with an nifty and undecipherable alternative description for it to enlighten and amaze your non-MINI indoctrinated friends while enabling preservation of your self-dignity (e.g., Hobbs Meter, Aetherometer, U/V Irradiance Exposure Monitor, Depreciationator, etc.). :wink:

    Sounds terrific. Me and my Roadster S are excited for you. She won't disappoint.
