A Big Thanks

The Roadster is slated as a 2013 model for spring of 2012 possibly. The Coupéster will be out in October accroding to what everyone says.

 

Time well tell and now that the title to the MY Cooper is signed over we're on the path towards a new car.

 

So, what's going down at the shopperoni this weekend?

 

Fracky, do you need directions to the shop? Let us know... Sway bar install on Jason's car in work.

 

Mrs Jiminni, check out this link. This is the Cars 2 set that Bitize was talking about,

Don't know, but I do know the Janet dragged me to a extreme boot camp this morning, had to swim in a crud infested swap among other, "fun" things to do....... And it only, "cost", me $50. bucks......hmm......what could I have done with $50. bucks??? I can think of a few hundred different things.....LMAO!

 

Personal time @ boot camp.... together! I just go for the matching hats myself less wear and tear on the body.:smilewinkgrin:

 

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.

 

Gosh it is already "HOT" here in Santa Cruz....gee I can't wait to live in Fresno!! :frown2:

My garage will have AC that's for sure!:lol:

 

Ahh...mmm......so you think it's hot over there aayy? Supposed to hit 105 here this week, maybe :mad5: Not trying to scare you guys off or anything, but you ought-a know. Oh BTW....looks like next months meeting is going to be at our house so you are welcome to stay

 

Does that mean we all get to stay over? :beer

 

Sorry but the trip might be a little more then I can handle. Steps 42 and 53 look like a little bit of a challenge :confused5:

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

 

Especially when they are not flying it would make sense to go to Cali

 

John, I have an inflatable kayak, do you need to borrow it?

Neil

p.s. it comes with a foot pump, can't have you passing out trying to blow it up.:biggrin5:

 

Dude, that #53 had me laughing out loud. Is this for real?

I guess that Google Maps much like MINI owners understands that the shortest distance between to places may not be the best way to go :wink:

 

Who needs a Kayak, you drive a MINI!



Oh wait, it's here not with you.... oh well, next time.

 

I'm still here for a couple more days then it's off to the West.

 

Dude you know what has me LOL right now.....it actually would be more feasible for John to do his list than for you to drive across town to come to a meeting :lol:
