Shot!

It was dark when I got home last night. And I parked facing forward to approached GPMINI from the back this morning. So I only noticed this at lunchtime today … While we were in Florida, someone decided it would be hilarious to B.B. GPMINI – there’s still a B.B. trapped in the headlight surround, proving it’s not stone chips! At least 3 or 4 hits on the hood, and two big smacks on the windshield … GPMINI will be visiting Sublime Restorations now, for a new windshield and probably a repainted hood 😦

I suppose I should be glad that GPMINI is still mine, and not stolen and torched as happened to someone else recently!

Should I build more?

Back from an interesting trip to Kissimmee / Walt Disney World where we lucked out with 3 days of 80+ degree weather (although yesterday it was only around 70, and rained intermittently throughout our time at Magic Kingdom).

Anyway, I come back to numbers of folks saying “I need an auto-up windows MINI circuit”.

I’ve sold all my stock, and as before planned to build no more because interest is quite low … but once again, as soon as I say “no more”, it seems those folks who hadn’t got round to getting one suddenly all get in contact! For example, this thread on NorthAmericanMotoring.

Problem is, to keep the cost at $45, I have to order a batch of circuits – 128 is my standard order. And because I’m “just me” and not a business with advertising budget, etc, I don’t sell many, just a couple a week.

So, should I order another batch? Is there enough demand still out there? If you’re interested, please get in contact and I’ll maintain a list (I’d likely wait till I had 50+ names, so contacting me is no guarantee of any quick response). Alternatively, if you’re an aftermarket company that would like to sell it and prepared to back up your interest with a commitment (not OutMotoring), then again please contact me.

Meanwhile …
Happy New Year everyone!

The 2008 NorthAmericanMotoring calendar

Did you get yours yet?

Another fine calendar, although unlike last year I didn’t recognize any cars 😉

As well as the June picture above (and note the list of events on the right!), other great pics include January (view from inside a MINI on the track), September (trees & MINI) and December (snowed MINI badge).
Thanks, NorthAmericanMotoring (head over to their store if you want to order one)
