    Yesterday I stood at my back window and watched it as the torrential downpour and pea-sized hail scoured some of the bugs and accumulated tree sex off.

    I let some high school kids wash my car :eek6:

    Then I went home and washed it again myself.

    My kid is graduating from high-school. Had to support their fund raisers.

    Yesterday drove down to my new temporary home in Ft. Lee, VA. Today, enjoyed my ~5mile commute to the classroom... versus my normal 25+mile commute to work. The next three months should help to keep the miles down on the ol' MINI. :D

    I took a friend to lunch. On our way back to work, a Pepper White Mini with black bonnet stripes pulled out in front of me, and I found myself wishing for a blue Mini to join us, so we could have our own little Italian Job for a little bit. :eek:

    Stopped on the way home from work to pick up a few barley pops and on the way out a nice lady informed me that GIR was adorable, not sure how I feel about driving an adorable car. :eek:

    Got home popped a top:beer and started working on my Cup Holder Project.

    I thought the same thing, big honkin Fiesta. Most likely camera phone lens distortion.

    Just got done pluggin Skooby with new plugs. Tip of the day from Anson my MINI tech. Pull the coil packs off with the engine warn, they will come off easier. This is true! Then wait for the engine to cool before pulling the plugs out. Don't even try this without the special spark plug socket made from Unicorn horns.

    The old plugs looked good, but at 55,000 miles I thought it was time. The factory says 100,000 miles. I bough the oem plugs from the good folks at eMINIparts.com.
