    After the above I gave my 13 year old niece and 11 year old nephew rides in the MINI. They told their friends and next I know there was a line of kids queued. I told them it was an E ticket ride.

    After braving the grocery store this morning, Artemis got a well-deserved wash and wax :Thumbsup:

    Mirror caps

    I liked it when I threw on a splash of red to my Laser Blue Clubman with a red/white checkered badge so I decided to put on some more. I got some red mirror caps and wrapped them with white checks to match the badge.

    I hope you realize that I am only poking fun in a good way. Every since I came on the forums, way, way back in 2008 :)D) the justa has always been looked down on and spoken of as a joke. A lot of folks own them, but never defend them for some reason, so I have decided to do so and Erika has jumped in as well. Remember, the only real deference in a Justa, MCS and JCW, is the size of the engine and we all know that "size doesn't count". :cornut:

    What matters is the person holding onto the wheel, and how they use the right pedal, not if it is a justa or MCS:Thumbsup:

    You are right. I tracked my car all the way here. It got to the point that my wife would come home from work and the first thing she said was, "No, I don't want to know where your car is!". :D

    Yepper. Like this, but cedar stained and a metal roof, delivered to the top of our driveway, unloaded and pushed into place.

    Got my car's ride height set, corner balanced, and aligned after I installed new coilovers a couple weeks ago. Can't wait to drive it home from the shop!

    I'm running a little behind, but on Saturday I installed the DDM Intake and engine torque arm inserts on my wife's Clubman. Her Clubby sounds sooooo much better now...which means her mpg will be going down. :lol:

    I won't say I'm necessarily balanced, but I'm harmless....:D

    Drove mine for the first time in almost two weeks (Out of town on business). Such a good car. Just a simple drive to work and yet it still leaves me smiling like a fool. :D

    Let's see...changed the oil, swapped summer wheels and tires for the winter setup (man I hate the way the rib spokes look...), and washed it. :D

    Took my summer tire to get that nail checked out....

    LOL- turns out it's good. The guy went to pull it out and it fell out :eek:
    It was hardly in. They checked for a leak anyway, but it's good :Thumbsup:

    I appreciated her lovely lines, handling and comfort as I drove her to work, much nicer to drive than the LeMons car. But I wouldn't let her near that sort of racing, she'd get scratched :wink:

    Find a remote parking lot without any lamp posts or parking bumps & make it your personal wetpad for practicing. :devil:
