    Went down to the shop this morning. Pulled up and parked on the parking apron in front of the shop.... Went inside to move the shop truck out of the way..... Turned around and my MINI was rolling out into the street, trying to flee..... Oh carp, must not have set the parking brake tight enough.... Glad no one knows about this.....

    Whoops....:eek:

    Might be time to adjust those e-brake cables Chuck. Glad nothing was hurt, only your pride.

    Same thing happens to me when I park at Chuck's shop. I end up leaving it in gear as well.

    So, Crashton, Can you teach me the ways of the e-brake cable, Jedi Master Old-B-wanna-Cannoli? :wink:

    One more thing. ALWAYS leave your MINI in gear when you park it.

    Just sayin....

    We don't need no stinking E-brakes...

    I was thinkin really big powerful magnets.... Since it is a metal shop loaded with steel, I'm thinkin the MINI will just kind of stick to the building....:D

    Drove over to Discount Tire to get some fresh Hankook R-S3s mounted.... on my wife's OZ Superleggeras for her WRX's up-coming auto cross season. Happy for her but it's making me miss my racing rims and track days... :(

    Since the Cat is out of the bag. Here is the first pic from the little snake, looking at the inside of my old PC.

    This should work fine for hunting down carbon. :D:D

    Today I'm getting Poco ready to put a for sale sign on him, as we don't have room for 3 MINIs in the garage

    Did the Boulder Christmas lights parade with five other MINIs last night, it was interesting, fun but interesting.

    Kids go so close to Scooter, it was fist bumps and high fives. :) Had to drive with the lights off, almost took out a couple of the little terrorists. :arf:

    Don - see my picasa/G+
