    Not sure what that is suppose to mean.

    What I was saying is that instead of going to the same old same old place for dinner that we ended up going to, I think I would have rather tried something new and gone to an event that I have never been to before.

    Well the DooDah parade is certainly different. Be here by 1.00 for the singing of the National Anthem. Parade starts at 1.01.

    I will definitely have to try that some time!

    We have had food trucks coming to the office on Wednesday's, but I've only been able to make it out there once. I'm thinking that I might need to hit up the Columbus Food Truck festival in August, which is also on the same weekend as the Columbus Summer Beerfest.

    Actually, that's one of the design elements I don't like about the R53-don't care for the pug nose look.

    I assume that's when the "bulldog" mascot came about? I wasn't sure if that started way back in the Cooper days or is a 2001 + thing

    If you like long nosed MINI's the F56 is your MINI. :wink:

    I believe the R53 has such pugness because of the intercooler living on top of the engine. The R50 has more of a swoopy nose.

    Look at a real classic mini and look the first gens. They have the classic bulldog flat front and a very little bit overhang like it should be. :Thumbsup:

    As for the newer generation MINI's well.........not so much. :rolleyes5:
    They look more like a Ford focus (non-ST version) with round lights.

    You are a funny, funny man !

    I'm at MAG the other day getting the oil changed and sitting in the showroom staring at this volcanic orange F56. I'm stupified by it...I still can't imagine what they were thinking...
