    Cleaned up Silverback yesterday. This winter's driving has the front of him looking like he has chicken pox. Front bumper and aero pieces are coming off to be refinished for MOTD...a great time to upgrade the intercooler...can you say step core :D

    My claybar looked like hell today after it's trip across the Subaru :( No plastic trim to tape before using the random orbital to apply a quick coat of wax!

    There is proof is on facebook! Then again, it could be photo-shopped; Allen is a sneaky one...

    FB just has proof that my garage has terrible lighting for pictures, and my phone has a terrible camera attached. Out in the daylight the paint has some nice depth. I was thinking that it is important to get a good coat of wax on the WRX for fuel economy. With the Mini it was just the front that really mattered, but since the WRX can get sideways I need to reduce the drag created by the sides of the car :)

    I love that a thread about someone buying a Mini has been hijacked with pictures from a guy who sold his Mini:

    If it helps anything I was not able to park in my normal spot because there was a clubman in my spot today :(

    Agh! I miss you all! My MINI is surviving Cleve-burg so far...the winter has been very interesting I have to say. I can't wait for summer when I can wash it with no worries and (hope!) that they will patch a few of the potholes!

    I will take pics of it next time in the crazy Cleveland snow...hope to make it to a breakfast soon...see you all then!

    Your Non-MINI looks great Allen. That color really pops when it's clean. :Thumbsup:

    Jim I have one of each. Love my MINI, but also love the Skooby. :arf:

    Hey Don, you jumped the gun a bit on the plates. Silverback R60 FTW... :D

    Hi Meg! Head on down, to folks in Cleve-burg Columbus is like Florida. ;)
