    Took it to city hall to get new tags for the Harley and sign up for our sewer bill discount. Didn't need to do either yet, just an excuse to open the top and take a drive in the sun!

    Finally washed up Scooter today, a bit of Hydro was applied. :)

    Sunday's drive put a lot of Colorado's magchloride on Scooter's DS, it blended, but I knew it was there.:cryin:

    Let's see if this picture will cross post.

    It's spring break and my kid had an event to go to so I had just dropped her off and was driving home when my cell phone rang. I answered, and it was somebody from MINI Canada asking for a minute or two to chat. I asked for a second so I could pull over. I parked on the side of the road and the nice lady just wanted to confirm my address so they could mail me a pair of tickets to the Vancouver International Auto Show to see the new Paceman.

    Yesterday, I finally got my CraftSquare TCA-F/W carbon fiber mirrors in from Japan. Only a two month wait.

    I also changed out my taillights last Saturday. These look similar to the factory ones, but have LEDs for the brake/running lights and a smoke tint.

    Ahh, CraftSquare mirrors. I like mine, I hate mine. People love to fondle them for some reason and knock them out of alignment. I've even used red loctite to prevent them being moved. No dice, after a week at MOTD they are fondled so much I saw one having a smoke afterwards.
