    He meant "never mind" the "original poster" responded. The plate was the first thing that caught my eye too.

    It's Lebanon, nation of cedars and Khalil Gibran.

    snowing here, too, but my Mini is under a cover in the garage, trickle charging until spring. -25F wind chill yesterday morning.

    meanwhile, my son is driving his Florida r53 in this weather. Poor car getting the shock of a lifetime after a pampered 10 year existence in an air conditioned garage near Fort Myers, FL...

    You're so right, Jounieh "where I'm living now" is too similar to Monte Carlo.

    There are at least a half a dozen Lebanons in the U.S.

    Look at the plate...doesn't look like it's a Lebanon in the U.S.

    Yes, we got both formats here. The one similar to the one used I. The US and the wide format used in my car.

    just two weeks ago we did the pulley and intake on the red Mini in the garage. One small space heater was enough to get it up to 60F in there while it was about 20F outside. Since we added foam panels to the garage door itself, the garage really holds the heat and one can spend all day in there wrenching on the Minis. I just need to find the cash for all the parts I want to swap out on my car... what happened to that lottery ticket I bought a few days ago anyway?

    I did the Rallye Du Liban back in 95, Lebanon has some of the best tarmac mountain roads. Jounieh is a little bit like Monte Carlo.....

    Somebody said let it snow let 3x (like in Betelgeuse)
    and we ended up with about 30 inches last weekend.
    THANKS A LOT!!

    Have street parking and no garage around here and
    the plows (which only came up our street once about
    3/4 of the way through the storm) always go South
    to North on our street which means all the snow gets
    pushed alongside the cars on the East side of the street.
    With an odd house number, guess which side I live on.:mad2::incazzato:
