    Going retro with the paint on the MINI with that rust patina. :ihih:

    You need to get that squared away before you have a rat-rod. :)

    Rat Rod is the plan Don. :D It hasn't been done "proper" yet, and I was up for the big change! Having all the custom and body shop experience plus an artistic (some might say Autistic) mind helps. :)

    Saw this in my work parking lot. A great alternative to detailing the interior of your car...[​IMG]

    I agree! Couldn't believe it when I saw it. And brown trees to boot!

    That's exactly what I thought. But I just couldn't make out the outline of the trees on my phone screen.

    Made a little side trip yesterday. A great place to reflect and bring everything back into the proper perspective.

    The snow on the ground and the noise insulation that it provides made it get to me as well. Unlike the 911 Memorial in Manhattan, this memorial is out in the middle of nowhere and the silence that surrounds it is a little eerie. I recommend a visit.

    Another MINI casualty...

    Was on my way home and came up on this accident. Looked like the MINI was hit by the truck running a red light. Owner looked to be OK, not so much for the MINI tho.
