    Nothing to mine.I have been forced to ride in an "S" for two days. :lol:

    I have noted that the leatherette seats, really are more comfortable then my Punch Leather. Seriously, there seems to be more support in the lower back area. It also has the bench rear seat. I'll get some pictures up soon.

    I love the leatherette TBH. I think it stays tight much better than the leather does :Thumbsup:

    I walked outside intent on washing my MINI. Turned around & walked back in the house & watched the Grand Prix from Monaco.

    Hey Jim thought of doing a turbocharger delete on the Countrygal? :ihih:

    Yesterday's bugs are now gone. I think all the extra biomass was dragging the nose outward on turns.

    Just got done washing Yertle. Also worked on buffing out his new driving tattoo. It is a little less noticeable, but the dent is bigger than I thought after cleaning off the road grim.

    Took a nice drive and spent the afternoon out at Indian Lake. Found a restaurant that was right on the water. Had a pile of shrimps, a few margaritas and three cheesbourgars.....:D

    This old gal (she had to have been at least 75) was a total cut-up. She rode in on her own Harley, had tat's all over her body (including one..... if you look closely just above her belt, in the back.... Don't linger there too long). She was wearing a translucent top, hell it was 93 degrees out. She was the real thing..... I liked her black and red braided ponytail. HD ear bangles. She was living life like she only had a few minutes left. I really liked her attitude....:Thumbsup: She was a total "Kick in the Pants"....:cornut:

    Nah, not real big... Just a lot of pet hair to clean. I'm one of those, "people are coming over so the house has to be spotless" types :cornut:

    At my Mom's in Jacksonville with Little Wing parked in the driveway, as far away from trees as possible. Listening to the storm as TS Beryl rolls in.
    Stay safe out there y'all!

    Thought it would be a good day for a drive today,.,,then walked outside and was slapped in the face by the dense humidity and growing heat...

    Ended up moving the MINI from a weekday illegal spot to a weekday legal spot.

    Yep humid with HOT coming fast. How did you ever manage to live in Texas Nathan?

    Drove mine to the spray it off car wash. Hydro cleaned the bug carcass's off. Then drove home, finished up with Griots spray wash & a pile of microfiber towels. Nice & clean now. :D

    Another day riding shotgun in the new Countrygril. My wife was in the center island turn through, while crossing a four lane highway, saw an opening and punched it. As I was slammed back in the seat, I think I see what you all like about the "S". Oddly, I have never driven an "S", only ridden in this one and found it rather cool. Maybe I should not have. :lol:

    Many of us S owners could have lived happily with a justa. Had we just not test driven a MCS first. That is what happened to me. The power can be intoxicating. Plus the R53 has such a wonderful whining sound.

    Be careful Jim you are treading on the dark side.

    On the other hand, I realized I would justa go out there and get my self in trouble with an "S". The LEO's look at my justa and say, "Put the radar gun down Frank, no way he could be speeding". :biggrin5:
