    Kikimowse, Sorry I'm not home or I would get a car trailer with my PU and go get your "mini" for you but am in Seattle at the moment. Won't be home until July 18th. Did see a Countryman going the other way on the highway today. Won't have a chance to go by Seattle Mini and pick up a new Mini but did see that they have a bunch of new ones on the lot.

    You'd think Step 53 would be to Kayak to SF, Cali or someplace like that instead of Washington.
