Crossed another mileage milestone on the way in to my office this morning.

Turns out, my MINI has been pretty reliable and still a hoot to drive.

 

Congrats Lee!

I have a Sale Pending on my R53!

 

My MINI is at The Parking Spot at Dallas Love Field. I'm at SEMA. I met Richard Petty today. I've met dozens of top race car drivers, but this was my first Richard Petty encounter. Fo someone my age, that's a big deal. One of my friends took a picture. I'll post it when he sends it to me.

^^^^ me too ^^^^ Will you be a NO MINI owner after the sale?

Don

 

No more MINIs (I say that now )... But, I'll have the Classic forever. I'm staying British though (I believe), with a new ride in the future. I'll post up some pics after it's been acquired. Could be a few months yet.

Looks like Jocko will be headed to Salt Lake City. Not sure how long he'll take to adjust to the climate.

 

My MINI is waiting for me, loyal to me, at The Parking Spot at Dallas Love Field, in the covered parking area, of course. It knows I'm coming back, as I always do. It will welcome me back to Dallas, and take me to my dog-sitter's house, and will take us both to my house, and my MINI's garage. We will all be home. My MINI has a great garage to call "home," so it will be as happy as my dog to go home. :biggrin5:

I was in a 3 car accident Friday night. I was the passenger and my wife and I were NOT in the MINI and thank God we were in her Lexus RX 350. Some effing frat guy from U of MD was texting and not paying attention and rear ended us at a complete stop at a light. He hit us so hard he pushed us 8 feet into the car in front of us.

I we are both sore today, me more than her because I hit my head on the A pillar. I hate every a A s s h o l e that text and drives.

 

Is it true that King Richard smells like STP and aqua velva?

 

Dave, glad your wife is ok.

Well you also I guess [emoji41]

Take it easy, you may be sore for a good bit.

 

Wow Dave, sorry to hear of your accident. Glad you're both ok!! :beer

 

Ordered some new cnc goodies

 

Yes her ride is fixable and yup his parents have ERIE insurance.

 

Thank god for ole mommy and daddy.

 

Glad you're both ok. Hope the dope learned a lesson for life about stupid behavior behind the wheel that should never happen.

Changed oil and filter at the usual 8000 mile mark (halfway between the instrument panel's interval) with Amsoil 0W40 Euro and
Mann filter. Thought I'd take a break from Mobil 1 0W40 Euro since they changed the formula and dropped the LL-01 spec.
Also sent off 3 oz of the Redline D6 in my trans to Blackstone for analysis to make sure it's holding up as a reasonable substitute
for the BMW LT-3 that's originally spec'd for the 6-speed Getrag that replaced my broken Midlands 16K ago.
