    I wonder what the speed rating is of a Tim Hortons coffee cup on the back of a WRX?

    The doughnut on my antenna increased the HP so much, I had to take a couple of bites to make things manageable. No telling what the coffee might do.

    Good seeing everyone today. Nice turnout & some more new folks whose names I don't remember. Seemed like everyone had a new MINI or one on order.

    A very nice drive over to Roscoe Village for lunch. Where we met Ben's mom Jan. Have not seen her or Ben in ages.

    Folks headed off 1 by 1 back to Columbus, while Babs & I went in search of ice cream. Hit a bit of rain by the time we were in Martinsburg, stopped at the Olde Mill in Utica & ate some ice cream while we watched it rain. On the way home from there we found roads flooded 6 times. Yikes! We turned around to find a dryer path, only to find SR 62 under water too. No choice but to wade through it in 2 places. It was the most odd thing, all of the ditches were at flood level & running like miniature Colorado rivers. About a half mile from home we found the road closed due to high water & had to detour again.

    Jason your telephone wee gee board was right. Rain was a coming.... :crazy:

    Coffee cup came off on the overpass, then we had to pull over to find Jill's phone in the smallest purse on the planet. Glad to hear you made it back from Roscoe I checked the radar this afternoon and figured you would hit some showers :) Pics or it never happened!

    We came across two spots where there was water coming across the road just north of New Albany. Luckily we were on the higher side of the road.

    We didn't really know any back roads in the are just drove back on 16 where we too drove into a real gulley washer. Flipped on the rear fog and settled into a slow 40 mph slog trying to ride the top of the crown. Made for a few interesting moments but we got back none the worse for wear.

    Glad your MINI survived its shake down cruise. Do you now proclaim it cured?

    Got back home and in the garage before the heavy stuff hit. Since it was raining I decided to add some Gnat stripes in carbon fiber and add the red highlights to my JCW wing.

    40 mph. :eek6:

    I'll bet that is the first time Gnat has had a chance to look round and see what Ohio looks like, other then a blur. :lol:

    Are these going to become the "official MOM" stripes?

    BTW: Is there a MOM shirt of some type?

    No shirt now but I know that Aaron was looking at designing a t-shirt. I would buy several if he does it.

    It is too early to be campaigning for a new King.

    Sure it would, I could give the country virtually everything it needs, live up to every virtual campaign promise and you would rarely see me. What more could you ask for? :lol:
