Thanks and the vet never could get passed me. He could catch me on the straight away but I'd leave him on the turns.
Sorry. I haven't been on much of late. I've been out motoring. Guess what? You're allowed to drive your car on the beach at Long Beach, Washington. Just make sure you get back in before the tide comes in.
Cold in Chicagoland, so a tire pressure check before tomorrow's end of season MINI club drive. Filled all four corners with fresh winter air.
Cold! You forgot snow! I spent last week flying in and out if there. it was cold and snowing. I hate winter.
I don’t mind a little snow especially around the holidays and the grandkids love to sled ride. Fortunately I have a tractor with a front end loader so heavy snow removal isn’t a real hardship.
I went down to start up Checkers today (it's been a month since it run) and when I got back I found this. last years and this years.
I was going through some old pictures and I was think it use to be a lot different back in the day (2005-2010) when there was a lot more going on with Mini clubs. I use to belong 8 different clubs and now I belong to 4. Along with the club's being gone so has several of the vents. It seems most of the new owners aren't interested in the same thing that I was when I first got my car. At least you guys on the east coast still have the Dragon.
I know some of it is people move on but I think a big part of it is BMW/MINI moved away from us. They forgot what made these cars great. They decided to make them into Toyotas just appliances to get here and back. Very few enthusiasts buy them now. Even their advertising shows it. It’s a shame. On top of that they spend time with silly projects that have nothing to do with cars. I guess they have to show everyone they care witch is BS. other car and motorcycle forums are doing very well. The other three I am on have several pages of new post a day. I feel Mini has been forgotten. Sad. Those other forums the Brand has not forgotten their fain bace.
