    Drove to the local dealership to pick up a couple of pieces of trim to replace stuff broken when my windshield got replaced. Sneaky tech did a good job hiding the evidence until I was troubleshooting something else. Gotta watch those guys like a hawk... I didn't. I grilled him up front and he claimed to have done lots of MINIs and to know what he was doing... oh, well.

    While there, walked the lot and spotted the exact Countryman I would buy, if I were to buy one... doh.... but I really don't want a Prince engine... But I really liked it....

    Got to stretch the MINI legs for a change. Went to dinner with other Mid-Ohio folks. On the way there and back once clear of traffic it was able to give it some welly.

    Going for the oil change and trans fluid change that I never went to have done the other day.

    I took a 3 hour nap instead. :lol::lol:

    Washed the car last night.... I think it was around 40-45 degrees? Not too cold.
    No way I was gonna drive Ryu all filthy when the rest of the week is going to be sunny :ihih:

    At lunch I took the long way and hit the highway... gave Ryu an Italian tune up :devil:
    Damn I love driving my car :Thumbsup:

    Washed and waxed. Getting ready for MOM donuts on saturday. Can't have a scrubby looking car when we go kick tires.

    I applaud both of you. Me.....I'm too much of a curmudgeon to handle this cold weather. Time to move south with the rest of the "blue hairs".

    I used the quarter spray wash down the street and drove it into my garage for an air compressor dry down. When it gets really cold, I'll wash it in the garage with the door slightly open and the water running down the drive way making a great ice run!

    Took Scooter down for an oil change and adjustment. Koni's are now on full soft, MM, you were right all along. :)

    Washed the CM, got gas after my Scooter fun, then I washed Scooter, yesterday. All clean and shiny for our club dinner on Saturday evening. :)

    What is a heated garage? :wink:

    Stopped at the pay and spray on my way home tonight. Then into the garage for a little help from Griot's Spray on Wash.
