    Not doing anything with my Mini today. But on the mini related front...I have been advised by the high command that I need to keep the Helmet for those times we need an extra car. My kids keep taking my truck.
    I said I could use the Lotus when we need an extra car but she said no she doesn't want anything to happen to it to keep the Helmet.
    Is this some kind of bazar test? I am a little worried it could be a trap.

    Justa got done cleaning all the crud off my sweet wife's clubster. Shines real nice now.

    Although it seems like every time I get personal with her car I find more dings. Damn people just don't give a rats arse what they swing their farking doors into. :Banghead:

    Maybe, just maybe mind you, she is fully aware of the limitations of the Lotus and just doesn’t view it as a viable everyday backup vehicle. :)

    Not a big fan of Odyssey Batteries as I had one do the same thing on my tractor.

    Hell yeah, man! Glad it's still serving you well! I forgot about that thread. I'll have to see if I can dig it up and bump it.

    Thanks for the heads up! Does this thing let you make wireless hands free calls or is just for porting the music to the head unit?

    I’ve been wanting to order one or those and an aux jack for a while. The phone call version is about $5 more than the music/audio only model on Amazon. Not sure about the call quality since the microphone is on the unit and would down by the shifter in a MINI.

    The other day I took the Helmet on a short drive. What a fun car.
    Today I checked over my wife's convertible, she is driving to Trashville (Nashville)
    I am spending the rest of the day getting the Exige ready for my first track day. I am going to flush the brakes and give it a good once over. I also am going to cover a few parts with white painters tap so I don't chew up the paint with debris.
    Tomorrow should be a good day for it. It will be 66 and cloudy.
    If anyone has any advice I will take it....
