Just a fact of life, my friend. And metaphorically, Aiden is almost going to lift the lid... just wait 'til he's about to unzip... the man's going to be ready to blow.

I just described to Doug what I wanted, finishes, words, pattern design etc, he would then work it up and e-mail me an image. He can also do a sample before the actual knob. Oh and I love it, makes the shift so much nicer

I'm surprised you didn't go with a sillouette of Get Carter

Now that's an interesting idea for me as well... hmmm... wonder if the detail would come through.

My MA is back...

Her kid was ill. She confirmed in the computer link to BMW USA that my MINI is April production, BRG (not DS!), and certainly not in transit. Not yet scheduled but I should be able to call back next week to find out which week it'll be built. So back to just waiting rather than waiting and worrying. And speccin. I wonder if I should get a commission from Whalen?

On a sad/scary note, Stephanie is taking Lo-size Lily in tomorrow to have a growth removed from her eye (attached to the speculum?); the vet's worried it might be melanoma. Don't really need the bad news as we've had plenty of that around here the last couple of years. Hopefully she'll be alright but it's nervous-making.

My thoughts will be with you... hard to not let something like that taint everything until you know more. Let me know what happens

On a brighter note, what do you think of this for a Whalen? Match to my roof graphic, thanks to mad brummie's comment.

Thanks, Puck. We probably won't know more until next week when I'm in Hollywood because the have to send it out for a biopsy.

I think your design looks great! I've PM'd Doug W. to see whether I can get a sample DXF file to start from (correct scale, etc.). I'll let you know.

I'm currently thinking of something similar to Rakey's design, but wracking my brains to think of a way to avoid just copying (besides just changing the name).
