Just added my M.O.M. Gang stripes to Dr. Phibes....

 

Fixed my broken garage door spring so I could put my Mini back in the garage & out of the weather.

 

Good Morning peeps ... this morning I was cut off by a beater 2.0 A4 Audi ...GRRRRRR .... that makes Mini Mad .... so I put my foot into it and caught up to Beater and boxed him in .... I didn't let up on him until he pulled a weiner move of coming down on me .... But Mini Manny has good "git out of the way" reaction. Moral to the story - I did get to work 1/2 hr early !!

Have a fab Mini day !

 

Motored to work and back in the Roadster, 1/2 topless...

 

Took the MINI to work and back home today....
It felt sooooo good....
Filled up the tank with some Shell 93....

 

Awesome MINI Loaner Car

I took my MINI in for service and got a MINI Cooper S Roadster...loaded! Had a BLAST driving it around (with the top down in 40-degree weather!).

Swapped in my new "MINI" wheel!:biggrin5:

 

Mini on snows = embarrassed SUV's today. Not driving at ALL fast or crazy, just driving AROUND them as they played a little sit-and-spin.

In bank lobby:
"Are all Minis 4 wheel drive?"
"No, only the new big ones. Mine's one of the early little fast ones"
"Then how are you DOING that?!?"
<smile> "Tires... and a little skill..."
"And my husband made me drive that huge... THING..."
<smile> "Want to come to a Mini Cooper winter driving school on Feb 10?"

No, but they are subject to awesomeness so they must always look there best

 

Installed a Craven scissor phone mount and a Craven wiper delete kit, Craven = quality stuff :cornut:

 

Installed a new pair of OEM gas lifts for the bonnet. Now it stays open with the driving lights installed like it used to. I guess 6.5 years is pretty good life outta the original set.

Also got a "personal" note from the local Fiat stealership, telling me how they can give me GREAT trade-in value for my old 2006 MINI for a NEW 2013 FIAT!!!!!

For that, I just might have to go wait out in front of there on the street, and smoke every Fiat that leaves the lot for a test drive. That would be FUN

Today I went to the car wash at lunch and cleaned and dried my car so I could go home an put it in the garage for this weekends snow and salt.

I am getting tired of winter now, BRING ON SPRING ALREADY!

 

tested this out just a little.





Got it as a combination Valentines Day and birthday gift.....

 

Drove this home this afternoon and parked it between the other two..... :beer
