    We took Scarlet the Roadster for her first trip to the grocery store, about 5-6 miles round trip. Somehow we motored 50 miles (-;

    Ran errands in Ryu...

    On the way home from getting Gracie's, the husband yelled at me for driving too fast with groceries in the boot (rear seat delete= very slippery surface :lol: )

    Mental note: get surface carpeted :cornut:

    When I shop I limit myself to what will fit under the cargo net in the rear of the boot. No sliding around when having a bit of fun on the drive home.

    Went for a run with my son-in-law, Eric.... a former MINI owner. (Former PhillyMINI member too). He got me interested in MINIs. He liked his. I not only drank the Koolade... I took a bath in it. I flipped Eric the keys and told him to drive it like he stole it. He was really diggin' the new JCW kit .... Laughing and having a great time. He'll be back in a MINI.

    Well after I FINALY got over the flu I was able to clean my car today.

    I did not care that it was only 36 degrees outside the car was getting washed and waxed today.

    The wheels took about an hour then a vacuumed the whole car and wiped everything down with Nero. Next it was wash time as the driveway froze up. ( yeah that was fun)

    After I got all the damn salt and crud off and was time to pull it into the warm garage and baby it for a few hours. Buff with Swirl, Rain-X glass, Black WOW, seal rims and dress tires.

    Next was a some Amigo, a few other things and a coat of Epic and BG.

    Saturday took the Countryman out for a drive north and got it more dirty. Wife took it to the grocery store this morning. :)

    First thing she said when she got back, hey my MINI is dirty and needs gas. :skep: :)

    I guess I will spend some time washing and Hydro today. :shocked:
