ptomaine1 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hello All. I wanted to stop in and say hello as I am a new 2006 S owner out of DC. All I can say is that I've always wanted a Mini but now I only wish I had gotten one sooner. The NAM board and this one have been my daily reading since I picked up the car. Everyone have a lovely day. Also, does anyone know if solar solutions is still around? This heat is killing me and I want to get my windows done ASAP but the number isn't in service. If not, can I get some suggestions? I put a call in to TNT Tint and I'm on his list but I'll have to wait a while. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptomaine1 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thank you all for welcoming me. I'm still working on a name and haven't taken any pictures yet. I need to get cracking on both. Yarsay, the name is actually a play on my real name (Thomayne). I was born and raised in South Carolina, go Gamecocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmcveay Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ali actually hates to see anything go unnamed so if you have any electrical appliances, footwear or gardening tools that you haven't named yet, email her pictures and a short description and she'll get you a list of names pretty quick. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right as I am replying from Howie the Mac, but I could have just as easily replied from my phone Sammy Samsung :wavey: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolitaNme Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hey! I just spoke to the guys at California Tint in Tysons and it'll range 160 - 280 depending on the type of tint you're getting. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepsays Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm new but I got my tint done at TNT Tint at a reasonable price. Matt does a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptomaine1 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 It's official, he's got a name, and it's Fred. This was inspired by the car first having a small rotational squeak after getting it from the dealer and recently the gas gauge stopped working a couple of times. So, since the car wants to act surly sometimes I just named it after my favorite grumpy character, Fred G. Sanford. I'm still loving the car and wouldn't give it up.

Fred is a great name, can't wait to meet him. I used to love that show back in the day.

maacodale Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Welcome! Fred works okay, but based on your answer I think I'd go with Sanford instead It just sounds more MINI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
