    MINI ran a counterfeit ad campaign a few years ago... Some other car pretending to be a MINI. In our club runs, a counterfeit is a non-MINI on a MINI run: usually ex-MINI owners who sold their cars but are still friends of the MINI community.

    We frequently threaten to MINIfy their rides for the run with painter's tape bonnet stripes, etc.

    Um...it ain't so warm here. While not in the teens or single digits today there forecast is for us here in North TX to go for a ~60 hours at below freezing. Last time that happened round these parts was 1996.

    We did get lucky for this drive, however. It supposedly hit the low 50s in the afternoon and I drove most of the way with the windows down and the sunroof open (seat heaters on and heat on high as well).

    Boo-hoo, cry me a river :cryin: I'll bet you've never had to shovel snow and you certainly don't need to contend with road salt or gravel being sprayed on the road for traction. On the flip side, we dont need to fight with cockroaches the size of elephants :D

    I'm not a native Texan and lived in the Mid-Atlantic region for 40some years. I know from snow, salt, ice and cinders.

    A cold snap is forecast here for the next few days and since it is unusual people are freaking out. I went shopping in flip flops shorts and Tee shirt..tis mid 40's today...the stares I got.

    Nathan, thankyou for leading the 'spirited' group. I'm still trying to remember the last time that I had that much fun. I remember asking,"Nathan just follow you ,right?" Nathan just rolled his eyes and said "yeah.":rolleyes:We took off and I never saw Nathan again until Waco,however; I was on SK8BOARD like a diaper on a babies butt. Well not exactly true. SK8BOARD is a much better driver than I am but in a much less powerful car so;he left me in the curves and turns and I was left to catch him in the straightaways. WE HAD FUN!!!! THANKYOU AARON and NATHAN :smilewinkgrin: Jason
