It's been built!!!

It's official my MINI has been built, there is now a Pepper White Cooper S built to my spec's waiting to get on a boat and come to L.A. Soon you will all probably start getting tired of hearing about my car, tough cause there will be more to come, and probably pics of it like a proud new parent. Even though nobody really cares about seeing 15 pictures of your new baby.


Oh and according to Craig Ferguson if your traveling to Europe you need to start in Ireland, find a pub and start a conversation. Good topics are religion & politics or how the local football team sucks. You'll want to get your drinking and fighting done right away, to be practiced before you go to Scotland, if you start in Scotland you'll be fighting above your weight. Then you go to London and test your skills on the english bastards.

I totally need to go see Ireland and Scotland.

Some completely random items I know but I'm excited and Craig Ferguson is quite funny.

MINI update!

Not much new happening here, but my MINI has been scheduled for production! Still estimated for mid to late July delivery. I'm just about to start ordering things for it. Also have to start thinking about any programmable options I want the dealer to turn on/off, and finding a nice wheel/tire combo, choosing how dark to tint the windows, and possibly the type and coverage of a clear bra to keep the paint safe from rock chips.

This is what I'm wanting mine to look like, but without the bonnet(hood) stripes.

I borrowed this picture from a user gallery at northamericanmotoring.com but I forgot to note whose it is, so if you recognize this car let me know, and I'll credit or remove as requested.

Maybe there is money in recording

All of the gear has been sold, the studio is officially closed and I finally got paid for the work I did, so I bought this. 06 Home Theater 2
Not all of it just the TV and Table, the rest I had.

For those wondering, the TV is a Panasonic 50" HD Plasma, no it doesn't have those silly lights on the sides, nor does it have speakers, I didn't think they were necessary. Those moderately sized grey cabinets are Altec Lansing A7-500 "Voice of the Theater" the kind they used to use in many theaters and recording studios from the 50's up to the mid 70's I believe.

Now that I look at the picture, I really need to get around to cleaning off the horns they really need it, and yes that is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
