New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

[EandJ]

[quote=Cape Cod MINI]Nice idea, Randolph. At one time we had bantered about the idea of brass/metal/enamel event grille badges for MOT. They could be mounted as seen below or on a grille bar.

I love the idea of a grille badge. If a cling costs about $10 I am presuming people would pay over double for a badge. I know I would.

Heading to Hartford again for another broken windshield. Second one and less than 6K miles. Hopefully no more for a while.

All that computer discussion on MOT thread gave me a headache!!!!! Wow!! I have some RPG and COBOL text books from high school if that what makes you hot.


Just some thoughts,

Have a great time at RDR it sounds like fun. Too far for me with the tikes. Maybe in future.

Let's hold off for now....I just picked up a lettering set at Staples, touted as weather resistant. Only problem is it's all uppercase (I kinda liked the up and down rhythm of www.MINIsOnTop.com). 1" high, white in color.

I'll try to get them on the car this weekend, and if I can find my camera I'll get some pics.

$3.79 + tax (no gratuity involved).

Can't be more than 10 minutes worth of effort to get them on the rear window.

If it works out, I'll be happy to install on any MINI within 75 miles of Worcester. Just have the case of Guinness ready when I arrive. What a deal.

John, a nagging question, you may know the answer.

Pertaining to the first part of my post, where the parends come in, should the period be contained within the parends or outside, as I have them?

By the way, I have my spare www.MINI2.com ready for when your new wheels come in

"DR.MIKE CHIBUZOR
Executive Investigation Chairman,On Contracts Payment
Review panal Committee.
Falomo Office Complex,
Ikoyi-Lagos.
E-mail:dr_mikechibuzor43@irangate.net[ PLEASE REPLY ME WITH
THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS]

Attention:ceo

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction; this is
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret.

I am the Executive Investigation Chairman Committee on Review of
Contracts Payments instituted by H.E. President Olusegun Obasanjo
to probe/review all contracts executed and payments made during the
regime of late General Sani Abacha. I have been mandated by my
colleagues on the Committee to seek your assistance in the transfer
of the sum of US$31.5Million.

As you may know, the late General Abacha and members of his government
embezzled billion of dollars through spurious contracts and payments to
foreigners between 1993-1998, and this is now the subject of probe by

my Committee. In the course of our review, we have discovered the
sum of US$31.5Million,which the former dictator could not transfer from
the dedicated account of the Central Bank of Nigeria before his sudden
death on June 8, 1998. It is this amount that my colleagues and I have
decided to acquire for ourselves through your assistance. This assistance
becomes crucial because we cannot acquire the fund in our names.

We have thus developed a, fool proof, legal and totally risk free arrangement
through which the fund can be transferred within a very short time, if
you follow strictly our instructions. The plan is to use our position and
influence on the Committee to present you as a foreign contractor beneficiary
of the fund. We shall arrange all documentation to support this claim
and get Approval for the transfer of the funds for your benefit on our
behalf. The arrangement is perfected to be 100% risk free and we are

sure the transaction can be concluded within 7-10 working days from
when you agree to assist us.

You should acknowledge the receipt of my mail through the above
Telephone and Fax numbers Or E-Mail address so we can further
discuss the modalities of your cooperation and negotiate the charge
for your kindly assistance. You were highly recommended and You
definitely have a lot to benefit from this transaction as we are prepared
to give you 30% of the total funds as soon as you secure it in your
Account.

Please, endeavour to give me your telephone/fax number(s)including
a bank details for the transfer of the above fund,through which we
can communicate with you in confidence (in your response) as the
need for strict confidentiality is of essence to this transaction.

Please i want your reply from this email:<dr_mikechibuzor43@irangate.net>

We await your urgent response.

Yours Faithfully,

DR.MIKE CHIBUZOR.
CHIARMAN CONTRACT

CCM, you do know that lots of spam has hidden, one pixel images imbedded in it that, when served to your computer when you open the email, register your address as live and valid...
You could be letting yourself in for more of the same with every one you open.

On the other hand, they are funny and I'd rather read them from you opening them than me..!

I am in the dark. PM me if you understand this and explain why I shouldn't delete it.

That's OK. These all come from the screened mail section that Comcast has identified as spam. They don't make it to my OE inbox. If one does get through I just block the sender and never see it again. Some are pretty funny.

Not sure if I understand your question here, but if you are concerned about the email being posted on the MINI2 forum there is no need to be, It looks like CCM just did a cut and paste of the text, that won't carry over the tracking cookie.

Anybody that has the html option selected in their email prefs could be accepting these "hidden" cookies.

Data mining is a big big business.

You know - I kind of forgot the history of the discussion here. Just bizarre when you're tired and you start trying to figure it out cold.

Hey guys,

I'll be out of touch for a few days. I have to fly over to Spain to pick up my lottery winnings. Drinks are on me at Town and Country.

Wow! Really? That's great news!

I mean the part about you being out of touch of course. The drinks at the T&C have always been on you. Haven't they sent you the tab yet?
