Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

I had a guy in a brand new E-series Merc pull up next to me yesterday. I had the windows down, enjoying the cold air and he rolled down his windows to say hi. He apparently used to race Alpha Romeo's and the burble of my R53 and aftermarket exhaust on a cold day reminded him of those days. A man of good taste!

 

RDNZL is back out in the driveway! It's 65 degrees here today and the rain of last week has washed all the crap salt they put down on Halloween. So for now it's time to ride......

 

Shuffled cars around in the driveway, put the NO N MG in the garage. No room for the MINI just yet. Drove around the new hood so my neighbors could hear the burble. :devil:

 

Today I drove to work after a 4 day weekend....Mondays suck.

 

Driving to work does not depress me. Sometimes work does, but never the drive.

 

Santa stopped by the shop today and left two of these.....

I just drove to work, but I still have the magnetic numbers on the sides from the track weekend.

It rained all weekend, which made for some slick-as-ice corners, but it was a good time to practice car control and it shot what was left of my street tires. It's time for some new Kuhmo SPTs before the inspection is due later this month.

I didn't spin once during the entire weekend at the track and kept all 4 wheels on the pavement until I tried to leave the track. While trying to get the trailer out of the grass, I got both the MINI and the trailer stuck in the mud and had to have some help getting out. Thank goodness there were lots of tow vehicles around and I had that tow strap in the boot! The tow hook was still in from the track sessions, so it was a snap to pull out.

 

Indirectly to my MINI

Not exactly done to my MINI but I hung a light last night.

 

It felt soooooooo good.....
Made a spirited run down to one of my rental units and replaced a borked porch light.
Made a spirited run back home..... Had the sunroof open and was blasting tunes on the radio.....
The universe has righted itself, all is well, let there be light....

Stopped by my favorite restaurant and got Indian to-go......

 

Think of it as a performance upgrade :biggrin5: but seriously, good luck and speedy recovery!

 

Because it is not a turd-blow R56.

 

And your mask should be like you avatar.
