    You are in luck Jim jumbo MINI's are going to be all the rage. :D

    I stuck mine in the garage, before all heck broke loose. Maybe the farmers will stand a chance with all the rain today.

    I guess you don't have Emission testing in your area.

    Scooter was back for a nice visit to the shop today.

    Lower Control Arms and a lowered R56 JCW spec. alignment.

    Only a 100 or so miles on springs and Koni yellows, so I suspect another alignment in 3 or 4 months. :wink:

    Like driving a new MINI with this setup. I will get some pics and spec. updates into the Garage after MITM settles.

    Hadn't driven mine in a week and a half, so I made a short run to the liquor store. It is OK to go to the liquor store at 9:00 am isn't it? :D

    I've done nothing with mine since Wednesday.... Have been in NY since Thursday for work.

    I did clean, gas up and make sure Ryu was repaired before I left.
    He's quietly waiting for me to return while safely tucked in my garage :Thumbsup:

    My MINI unfortunately took a drive with my husband this morning to the vet with our dog.

    Our poor dog Bella has been dealing with complications from Mast Cells around her lymph node and Edema.
    She had massive fluid swelling in her body and could not get up or move and was in great pain. My husband had to make a gurney out of her car ramp and the only car it would fit in was my MINI.
    I am away in New York for work so I was not around for this.

    She is no longer with us.... My husband made that dreaded decision this morning. I was on speaker phone to say goodbye.

    So our dog's last car ride was in Ryu :frown2:
