    Yesterday actually, I scored a first place nod at the British Extravaganza car show with my 70 Austin Cooper S MkII. Not so good luck though for my buddy's car on the track after breaking a steering arm.... Still FUN times though. Thanks VARA!

    Passed 1250 so she is officially broken in. I have smiled more while driving in the last 4 weeks than the last 20 years. I can't imaging it getting even more fun but I'm really looking forward to it! :D

    I've been soaking the brake pads in the used oil. When I want to go for a spirited drive I slip them right in. :D

    Jim you may be proud of me when I tell you we had 5,300 miles on that oil. That is a little longer than normal for me. :eek:

    Last weekend new front splitter from Group 4. Wow what a difference a little lip makes.

    My only regret is I lost 8 MPG in the twisties but gained a few seconds with a lot less thinking.

    Washed Scooter (R56) Washed Rocketdog (R60), played in the streets of Denver for the People's Fair video shoot with Scooter. What a hoot!

    Here is a clip, hope you can see it. A couple of nice and low R53s doing the short trip, the fast group.

    My video quality is not the best, a bit choppy.

    :frown2: Dropped Margi(08 R56 BRG MCS/JCWm) off at the body shop to get her passenger side quarter panel ,door, and bonnet repaired from when the tractor trailer tried to run us over. The loaner is a brand new black Chrysler 200 convertable. Nice looking car, decently firm suspension, WAY under powered.:Thumbsup:
