    All you GEN2 (R56) owners check your oil and coolant levels often. S's with 5-7k miles between oil changes are coming in with 1-2 liters low. And if you are adding coolant and there's none on the floor keep a close eye on it as you may have an internal head gasket leak. Maybe Mini should recall the whole motor.

    *A fellow walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, a Master Chief Petty Officer from the local Naval Air Station walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'd like a line service monkey, please." The clerk nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store and took out a monkey. He put a collar and leash on the animal and handed it to the Chief, saying, "That'll be $1,000." The Chief paid and left with the monkey.
    *
    Surprised, the fellow went to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did that one cost so much?" The shopkeeper answered, "Ah that was a line service monkey. He can park, fuel, and service all Naval aircraft, conduct all required ground ops testing, rig aircraft flight controls, and all with no mistakes. He is also trained in all carrier flight deck ops. He's well worth the money."
    With his interest peaked, the fellow looked around and spotted a monkey in another cage with a $10,000 price tag. "That one's even more expensive!* What can it do?" "Oh, that one is a "Maintenance Supervisor" monkey.* She can instruct at all levels of aircraft maintenance, supervise all corrective and preventive maintenance programs, supervise a crew of maintainers, and even do most of the paperwork. A very useful monkey indeed," replied the shopkeeper.
    *
    The guy looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in a cage.* The price tag read, "$50,000". Holy crap! What does this one do?"* "Well, the shopkeeper said, I've never actually seen him do anything but drink beer, screw the girl monkeys, and play with his pecker, but his papers say he's a pilot."

    Going to Niello BMW for a test drive tomorrow, as I just told Jim the car I'm looking at is a 2006 Hyper Blue S with several packages. Yes it is the same color as Suzie's with several differences the least of which is the bonnet stripes. Hers are white and the one that I'm looking at has black. Time to start the MOD list for my new car and with the retirement from the Navy Master Blaster needed to retire also. Much like the Yin / Yang symbol the white Yin is considered to be female and the black Yang is considered to be male. With 27 years of marriage I think it fitting since my first car was Indy Blue I go back to a blue car. I'll keep you all informed. On a side note Steve the JCW down south was not working out the sale was going no where even though he thinks he wants to sell it I think it, he really is doing nothing more then trying to piss off his wife for whom he had purchased the car and who was not driving it.

    That was moving. I'm sure your head was high John, but you were reluctant to give up the watch you stood for so long. Hand salute my friend.
