    Yes, tilt shift, but no tilting & shifting. Just some electrizicle wizardry with pixels....

    Rolled the Mini out of storage so my detail guy could give it a once over. Then, rolled it back into storage. Talked said detail guy into doing the "Penetrol" treatment on the black plastic trim, ala Dave.0 for me next week. Should be able to start driving it again in another week or so.

    Yep it is! Took the boys to see it as soon as it came out. They kept saying he was like Papa John My step Dad. Its his Indian I am restoring. He was a great guy!

    Thats just me and the boys getting ready to go out for the night... (Meant as a joke, don't mean any offense)

    No, its just my paint table... The trash bags came un taped! It does look like a miniature klansman though! Like all the ghostly crap when I was painting the Rat, some weird stuff happens in the garage from time to time. [emoji12]

    Swapped my R53 fronts for R56s. EBC Reds for daily. CarboTech XP10s for track days.

    Drove it to work again...

    Can't wait for the day "Going to work" really means walking out the back door, and opening up the garage!

    I might, when I'm done. Probably between 300 and 325. Of course, I could have had a Cayman S for what I'll have in the car at that point.

    The RMW turbo kit can make 320, and then some.

    Cleaned the Justa today. Tried Chemical Guys Carnauba wax. Seems okay, but time will tell. Sprayed off, washed, clay bar, and polish. Time well spent. My wife thinks that I am a little OCD because I use quick detailer on the wiper arms. Time for a drink. :beer

    My baby got a new pair of shoes. Couldn't stand the Hankook run flats any more.

    Depends on the size of the gun (or bullet) and the size of the knife.

    Yeah that drives me crazy too on those rare times when I'm driving Laura's F56 and have to fill up. Seems like a random thing to move from one generation to the next.
