    Put 50 miles on my Dark Helmet twin this morning. I'm lucky to drive it once every couple of weeks, can't stay off the Indian.

    Ethel paid a visit to South Hampton England today. She was not able to get off the ship since it was a one way flow of new mini's headed on board. Checked on her a few minutes ago and the MV Integrity she is taking her cruise on had just cleared the Isle of Wright and was steaming for open water on Ferris wat to Baltimore?

    Only a few more weeks until she arrives !!

    Had to go for groceries today so I took it out and scrubbed the rust off the rotors. First time I've moved it in a week. I'm taking it about 30 miles tomorrow to Outback Steakhouse. My Grandson wants to buy a steak for me and his stepdad as a late Father's Day present. Everything was too crowded today.

    I'm still waiting for my production number to show on the MINI website. How do you track the shipping vessel once it's loaded?

    If it loads to a wallenius Whilhelmson they scan every car by vin# arriving to their yard loading unloading etc. you go to tracking on The site below and key the full 17 digit vin in the cargo ID and you are good to go. About 1/3 sail on K-line. If it doesn't show up on the above site while awaiting transport them when it goes enroute just look at the K-line schedule about 5 days back and that's most likely your ship.

    You will get a vin on he tracking sire once it goes scheduled for production.

    Drove her into work today. Once there, headed to the Amsoil.com and tried to crack $100 to get free shipping... I landed at $95 including shipping. Bast*rds. I ordered oil for my next oil change and MTF as I'll be changing that at the same time.

    Gave the runt a bath, noticed the paint feels a little rough. So I moved DH out of the garage and put the runt in, tomorrow I will clay and wax the runt. Tonight I guess I will take DH for a high speed run to work. Only a few people up at 2 AM.

    Got a puncture fixed. Discount Tire did it for free, as they do.

    Clayed and waxed the Runt. Of course it is going to rain for the next two days. Maybe I will let it ride out the rain in the garage and let DH get wet.
    On a different note.....I was talking to my wife about tracking the Helmet at the next DE. She kept saying I shouldn't because she thinks I will hurt the car. Finally she said if I am going to do track days I should turn the Runt in to a track car..........Um did I hear that right? Did she say Race car?:D

    Finalized the deal for my new interior. It will be the stock color gray and Red inserts...pretty damm close to chili red. The headrests will be red and gray and the rear seat delete will be gray with a red insert. BTW...does anyone have a pattern or measurements for the plywood I am going to need to make the base? The side bolsters will be stiffer and the material is...leather. It will be about 2 weeks in the making.
