    I would just like to wish all the M/A Peeps a very happy healthy holiday weekend. May all your Bonnets shine and your windscreens be bugless. :cornut:

    Thanks you for the wishes, it promises to be a great weekend. :)

    I managed to get Scooter washed up from his brief stay in airport parking and the snow and road crud. Almost made 70 today in Colorado. :)

    Rocketdog is next!

    Have a great Easter folks.

    Nope.. just sanded down as best I could and rattle can Rustoleum. If I need to redo it in a year or 2, it's ok.

    Getting ready to paint my calipers and this caught me by suprise when I pulled the wheels. Doing it more for looks than long term protection this time.

    Washed it even though it will rain tomorrow and probably snow again on Monday. Then went for quite quick drive to dry. Dang those Blizzacks are squirmy when it's 60 some and sunny.

    Donuts this morning. :donut1: Then an oil change for a friend followed by a show change. From snow shoes to running shoes today. On both MINI's. While I was at it the brakes were inspected & detected. No brakes had to sit on the group W bench. :D

    Wiper blade change out day too. I'm bushed..... :sleep:

    Babs MINI needs a deep cleaning, but it can wait. :sleep:

    Met up with physics mastermind and then went back to his secret underground lair to work on our plans to conquer gravity (ok, so I met Nick for breakfast and then we went down to the workshop in his basement and worked on pinewood derby MINIs).

    After working on our pinewood derby cars with Brian. I reinstalled my armrest, made a template for my skid plate, made a template for the air divider, did a little sound proofing, and changed the intercooler air flow some.
