    I, and I'm probably one a very few, am slightly miffed that we had rain today and not more snow.

    It's a good thing there is not an Unlike button. :p

    Washed the Blu MINI real good. Just as I finished good friend Bill came over with his new 996. Went for a flog on the back roads. While not a Porsche guy I have to say it is a great drive. Think I'd like one of my own. :D

    Added some pictures of Bill's panzer.... :D

    Was going to wash it at the touchless place but the line went to Cleveland. Guess I'll wait till 1am, the line should be shorter by then.

    instead went for a fun little drive with windows open. Won at the game of pothole slalom too.

    Such a happy MINI when temps are over 50F, we had a great drive like you stole it session.

    Used your recommendation....Plastidip warmed up in hot water and it sprayed out perfect.

    Attempted to clean overspray off the tires, went for another nice ride with my daughter and took a few pictures. It's another beautiful day for motoring.

    Been there, but it was the side of the rally car not the MINI. At the time it didn't bother me at all as long she kept reading the route book instructions out to me. We always had airsick bags in the rally car, but at times one just has to turn their head & hurl. Thank goodness for an open faced helmet. :D

    Busted out the Mini for a nice drive on a pretty nice day to meet up with fellow MINIacs for some good food. Spring is coming soon!

    Changed the oil. Man it really needed it. I used Mobil 1 because it was on sale.

    Shes alive !

    Finished rebuilding the engine as soon as the last part was delivered by the dealer and immediately mounted it. By 10 am tomorrow she will be driving out of the bay for her maiden voyage with a new and stronger heart.
