    Washed Skooby & then drove the Blu one over to the local MINI dealer for their customer appreciation day. Good times with good friends.

    Drove the long way home via county roads. :D

    Has it washed real good like at the dealer. I think it lost 20lbs of crud made of salt/mud/winter.

    Came back from Missouri, got a warm feeling all inside when I saw both MINI boots sitting in the garage.

    Now I need to get some time on Sunday for a fast drive on some non-icy roads.

    Btw, Hyundai Sonata's are not high on my desirable to rent list. :( Stylish, good toys inside, average interior comfort, very poor road sound characteristics, they BOOM!

    We didn't make Waldo. Babs didn't feel up to fried Baloney. Did have a nice drive, sorry Mark thought you were having your car looked at & Babs wanted to head home.

    Very easy, took less than an hour. Just make sure the gasket is seated in the channel before tightening up.

    About 100 MINIs (and minis) showed up at Cypress Mountain near Vancouver for some skiing and partying. This is where MINI Canada showed off the new Paceman JCW and GP for the first time in public. Now being delivered to people who ordered them.

    RMW custom tune at Thunderhill Raceway Park in CA, and replaced upper engine mount with the OEM unit. (I have poly engine bushings below from Madness). Car handles and performs superbly - better than ever, perfect for all around street, trips and club activities. (Well, could benefit from a brake upgrade)
