What did you do with your MINI today?

Saturday was the Chicago MINI Motoring Club annual drive thru a series of Cul de sacs and a stop at a famous local hotdog spot.

We had about 30 MINIs driving thru the neighborhoods.

Great turnout for an interesting event.

 

Drove to retiree breakfast this morning and the MINI really enjoyed the cool morning air.

 

I'm getting lazy. I pickup Checkers from the detailers today for the car show on Sunday. I'll try and take some pictures. It's an all British car and bike show with a lot of classic minis.

 

Nothing wrong with using a good detailer. Worth it if you ask me. Have a good time at the car show.

 

I just pickup my car and it looks incredible. I asked for a wash and clean the engine. They did but they also detailed the interior. Here's a list of what they did.
Hand Wash & dry
Clay bar
Vacuum Condition & clean all leather surfaces
Clean & degrease wheels & wheel wells
Clean engine bay degrease & dress
What a great job.

 

Good luck Sunday and hope you get a threepeat !!

 

If I do not it won't be because the car wasn't ready. I have had my car detailed several times by me and other detailers, but it has never looked as good as now. I don't have a clue how they get every neck and cranny so clean. I'll try to get someone to take some pictures with a better camera than mine.

 

Thanks MCS02.

 

@checkers inquiring minds want to know, how’d you do Sunday at the car show ??

 

Here's a pit I took at the show

This pic doesn't do it Justus'
As far as how I did. We left early the wife was not feeling good so I'll find out later. I had a lot of attention. When you have somethings that no one have seen or have it draws attention.

 

I called a friend of mine who was at the show and he said I got first place in my class. So that's three in a round.

 

Congratulations !!

 

Thanks 00Mini.

 

Here's a couple more shots

 

Absolutely beautiful and when you know what a clean R53 drivers engine compartment looks like Checkers is really amazing.

 

Thanks again. The detailer I use is amazing. They even detailed the caps on the AC freon lines. It's always nice when things turn out the way you like.

 

I'm bragging a little but Checkers record at car shows. Over the years.
1 Best in show (at Mini Mania only Minis)
8 first places
1 third place
I'm running out of ideas to keep things fresh.
