    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. ;)
