    It's been a work in progress, I'm on my 3rd cowl cover. Got the idea from 1st Gen intakes and the DOS for second gen. Fresh air from the cowl :Thumbsup:

    Drove it home from the body shop. It was a long wait to get into... but worth it.

    Took advantage of a cold winter day (64° :)brr) to change the oil in my MINI in the garage. Saving tomorrow and Sunday when the temperature is forecast for the upper 70s to wash and wax mine as well as my wife’s MINIs.
    Gotta love Florida

    It was 66 degrees here on Wed. Shorts and t-shirts weather.

    Thurs 30's we got 4-6 inches of snow and temps dropped down to 18 degrees with 40 mph winds.

    Friday clear and about 40.

    Saturday is going to be 48 and Sunday 50's.


    Anything above 32 degrees is car wash weather here. :Thumbsup:

    It was 76 today, and we are looking at low 80s Saturday. But, my car is already clean.

    I need to go to COSTCO, so maybe I'll do that Saturday. It is fun to watch people watch me load a huge amount of stuff into my MINI.

    Four houses down my alley from me. Week-end car. I've got a feeling I'll be seeing it again... in a good way.

    Drove up to PA to visit the folks for a bit this morning. Then got home to find my new coffee mugs were delivered.

    Drove it to the Air Force museum in Dayton OH with some friends. I haven't been there in a long time WOW is it bigger than I remember. 4 huge hangers and missile tower. 5 1/2 hours to cover it and it could have been easily more. If your ever in the area make a point to go.

    Yesterday I touched up a few tiny rock chips, used my new DQD2.0 and put the cover on the car in the garage.

    I also ordered a set of Dunlop Star Specs II's for the Dragon. :ihih::devil:

    Got the R53 washed today. I think I'll get better mpg now with all the crud off of it!
    Monday the left front wheel bearing was replaced. SO NICE to not have the noisy noise....:beer

    Drove the 16 to the Doc this AM, came home and did a little spiff in the 50 degree blue skies, no hat since the skin doc said he took off all the suspects.

    I think I should not gross folks out by going out to lunch on Thursday.

    The Countryman is all shiny again but does need a Spring detailing.

    Drove down to take a class to finally learn how to weld. We also learned to use a plasma torch. Great fun. Next class blade forging.

    ^ I have some of carpro's Crazy Pile towels, 2-fingered "wookie" mitt!!!, and one-finger mitts. Good stuff.

    Supposed to be in the 50's & 60's from Friday on, so I took the Blizzak's off, and put on the summer tires. Probably get 10 inches of snow now :mad5:
    Best thing I did for the MINI was get a spare set of rims for the Blizzak's. Makes life so much easier.
