Awwwww.....poor gal......out in public with no makeup on and barely wearing any clothes.....so sad....

BUT WAIT!!!

My crystal ball tells me that in the near future a totally whacked-out couple from Staten Island will work their butts off to really spiff her up and have her looking proud and "REGAL" again!

Woo Hoo!

That's right folks, we bought her!

More photos and details to come, as well as thanks to some very special people whose advice has been fantastic.

Needless to say I am excited beyond belief, in fact I wish there were more emoticons on this forum. Right now I could use some that are dancing for joy, doing cart wheels and flipping out in general! LOL
Heading out to pick up Wayne at Newark airport where no doubt we will be hugging and dancing at the arrival gate, later folks, Diane

So happy for you. Congrats.

When I read your "WOO HOO" post I think I sensed a little excitement. The very best to you. DD

Congrats to you Diane......be sure to post pics so we can all share in the before and after. I know you will be happy with your new addition, and with ALL the knowledge on this site, it's like having a shop full of mechanics willing to give you advise. The Barthers here are a GREAT group of people. Congrats again.

When you guys are finished, this will be one of the most unusual/unique Barths around. Making that rear engine compartment into a massive storage area is a neat idea. Hope you can find out what it was from the factory. Your thought that some big piece of equipment, like a big generator, was located there, gets my vote.
BTW, being of Italian origin, I'm sure Bill will come up with some more emotional emoticons

One more unusual thing. I was just studying the pictures and noticed what appears to be a driver's door. Not common on Barths.

All (but one) I have seen were on commercial or government gassers.

Heartfelt thanks Mary, Dick, and T&T&B! Looking forward to meeting all of you, if not at the next GTG perhaps at a future one!

It is so awesome to hear that, thank you Jim & Tere! Truth be told, we've had a real bad year here due to us both losing very close beloved family members in a matter of months. Hence we've needed something uplifting like this to come our way.

LOL Sheesh, I'm surprised he hasn't come up with dozens more!

I guess somesome should have sent Bill a memo that a 1/2 Italian, 1/2 Ukranian, Leo, was joining the forum!

somesome

Duh...that's supposed to be "someone"
Me thinks it's time to go to sleep!

I add them as I find them.

I try to keep them looking about the same size/type. Send me some good links to the Specific Emotional Emoticons and I'll add 'em in too if they have the same look and feel.

Still looking for a good one with crossed arms sticking his tongue out.

BTW: Because we have so many new members here, I'll let you all in on a little secret. I am not a webmaster or expert on anything when it comes to website development or implementation of coding. I do this in my spare time with mirrors and a curtain. On occasion I've been know to add a little fog and a loud voice, but that's the extent of my powers. I also use humor to redirect your gaze so you'll never know how much or little I truly know.

But, if you see something that you think this site could use, or you've used something that makes another forum run better... Send it my way for preview in a PM or email and I'll try to play with the coding if it's a fit for our site. Everything from our maps, data tag project, to the drawing you see on our site was "Tweaked" in the basement and then put on our site. I am not afraid to try anything, and our group of "Unnamed Basement Dwellers" love to play with new website gadgets.

Bill NY, for a guy who claims NOT to be a webmaster or expert on our site, you sure you're not hiding behind that curtain.....this is a GREAT site, and I think that the other members will support my statement in saying that you do an absolutely FANTASTIC job of keeping us all together, posting pics etc (for us who can't figure it out), adding avatars for members, the list is just endless.......

We ALL appreciate your service, and where would Barthmobile be without you (and Dave Bowers), maybe a newsletter or two, but, certainly not something as wonderful as this.

Here's to our expert webmaster Bill NY

I think T&T&B says it for all of us
x 10 Thanks Bill
