    It's that time again when many of us make new goals for the new year. Instead the usual items like lose weight, eat better, etc etc I've come up with what I think are better ones for me...

    In no particular order...

    Stop typing "breaks" when I really mean "brakes"

    More Track Days

    More Fun Drives

    Attend more MINI events

    I'm not a resolution kinda gal... seems like promising to do something for the new year never holds up.

    But I am saving for the Dragon now :Thumbsup:

    Hmm, lost the weight I wanted to loose, paid the bills I wanted to pay, met the career goals I wanted to meet in 2011. I guess I just want to maintain and ... hello P-Car?

    Alas... no calipers..... It's a big a$$ band brake that connects a mechanical flywheel that then operates the break (sorta transfers the stored up kinetic energy in the rotating flywheel). It'll bend 1/2" thick steel like "butta"......:D

    In the first three days of the new year it seems that my resolution is to increase the cost of the per bottle consumption. :beer
