Hey Guys,

Well, I'm almost home.  While out on this Govt-imposed "cruise",  I was able to make some money and put a good chunk of debt away.

Anywho, I'm pretty sure I'll be moving big, not up, to a BMW 335i Coupe.  I can really use the trunk space, and I won't be losing that speed or fun to  drive factor.

There is an outside chance I keep my MINI, and that's not a bad thing.  I have no regrets with the car, other than it drove me nuts hearing my golf clubs and stuff clicking the back as I had to have the seats down.  It is a blast to drive, and the mods I had purchased enhanced the motoring, but really weren't needed.

See the post in the for sale area - if I get back and I don't see the numbers I expect for the BMW, I'll keep Stella and the parts.  But, I think the deal will get done, so I posted the parts and the prices so y'all can start to think about it.

Hopefully, I'll still be invited to the gatherings....  ;-)

As long as you keep that "Bimmer" attitude to yourself :lol:

And give free kiddie rides too. For all us big kiddies.

Actually, I'm thinking of the MINI attitude in the Beeemer world.  ;)

Of course on the rides, maybe a spin or two - and I'm going to have to dyno it after I get it broken in.  Gotta see if they really under-reported it or not.

There's a manual in Missouri that has my name on it I think...  with premium, sport and cold packs -

This is all Heather's fault - after I told her I saw a magazine in Rota with a story on it, she sent me a brochure.   :roll:  :lol:  :twisted:

I hope Heather doesn't go to a Rolls Royce Dealer because you would have to get a second job to pay for one of those.   :lol:

ahh, news of the wierd  :P

I too am eagerly awaiting a 335i... I put a deposit down a few weeks ago but my build date still isn't until the 4th week of Jan. After 4 MINIs though, I'm adjusted to the waiting  :lol:

Spec:

335i twin turbo inline 6
6 speed manual trans
sport package with 189 star spokes
Titanium silver metallic
Dakota leather (black)
brushed alum accents


and that's all I could add.... everything else comes standard on this car- it's friggin loaded.

I AM keeping the MCSc for now, though, but I sold the Mustang to a guy who's taking it to Germany, which I think is cool, and somewhat ironic  :?
