    Had dinner in a Scotish-themed pub with 30 other MINIacs last night.

    Also had my first (and hopefully last) panic stop in the GP when a Ford pickup blew a red light on the way to work. I guess that was one way to find the limitations of the stock R53 JCW brakes!

    My Roadster jitneyed me to the local Urgent Care Center for treatment after a fall on my run this morning with my wife. My right hand will be out of commission for up to a week. No breaks, but RICE---rest, ice, compression, and elevation! Sciatica nerve caused the fall.
