    I do like the absence of stripes on the hood.... It lets the contours on the hood show better without being interrupted by the stripes...:Thumbsup:

    But I'm more impressed on how you are able to park your MINI on the garage ceiling.... You must have some very sticky tires....:D

    I remember someone saying "It's run not a race". I guess I did not understand what a run was. :lol: :rolleyes::devil:

    Racing implies passing... And nobody passed anybody there Mr. Sideways... [emoji13]

    Ordered a tensioner, crank damper, idler pulley, and 535 belt for my car.
    Tomorrow I'm ordering a Helix or CravenSpeed 15% pulley too. Just depends on who can get it to me faster. Haha. Me and Dick are going hammer and tongs at it Saturday night.

    Starting the detailing process to get the Helmet ready for the Dublin Show. Hoping that my sciatica calms down so that I can attend.

    Took my S out into the rain today for a 20 mile spin to the dog park. Great walk with the pooch and the car loved the wet roads and a chance to see how the tires handled the ponding. All in all, a good day, a little wet, but a nice time out and about. :Thumbsup:

    scheduled an alignment for next Wednesday - had no idea it was easier to get an appointment at the dentist than to have your Mini's wheels set straight by a trained professional who knows what the word "coilover" means.

    I love it when a guy uses his car as a pickup truck. Particularly intriguing to see the Hazmat cargo in there!

    Love my iPhone 6 Plus. Had it since they first came out. Every other iPhone seems "mini" now.

    I lived in the south for 3 years with no A/C in my car... It's nothing windows can't handle once your body adapts. [emoji6]

    I would go for the meth system. Car shows are fun, but all you will get is a trophy , IF they give trophies. I threw out over 100 plaques and trophies that I won at various air-cooled VW shows and events. I would drive the Rat to the show, not register, and watch all the people go nuts over it. After all, getting to the show is half the fun...
