    Good. That means I'm catching up. :lol:

    BTW, I love the fact that most every MINI owner knows the date they took delivery of thier car. That shows some serious love. :Thumbsup:

    You are right. I tracked my car all the way here. It got to the point that my wife would come home from work and the first thing she said was, "No, I don't want to know where your car is!". :D

    Drove with other members of Mid Ohio Motoring to watch antique sprint car racing which was cancelled ....so we drove across Ohio instead to Mid Ohio Sports Car Course to watch the NASA Championships. Impromptu events are always the best.

    Gave Huntley a bath, and then waxed the newly re-painted bonnet . . . well as I'm here. Waxed the the whole car, twice, and just did a layer of clear coat. Tomorrow we'll do the vinyl bits. I feel very relaxed now. Zen and the art of MINI maintenance. :biggrin5:

    Treated my MINI to a gift. Popped over to Harbor Freight and got one of those low profile aluminum floor jacks at a darn good sale price......:D

    Every garage needs a couple of those.

    I added a whole lot of miles on my MINI while driving on CHKMINI's grand tour of Ohio. It sure was a fun day. :D

    I may need to make a trip there tomorrow.

    I motored both MINIs today. Rolled them out of the way so I could do "stuff" in the garage, then rolled them back in:D

    Well if you're going for the same low profile aluminum floor jack (It's the one for "Racin" cars), clip the coupon out of one of the Autoweek magazines..... $59.99, coupon good until December 2011.....:D

    Drove mine in heavy down pours in Las Vegas and watched a fantastic lightening storm. Then, I drove to Las Vegas Motor Speedway to autocross this:

    Then i was greatful for My nice gentle MINI driving back after the autocross. That S2000 CR with a supercharger is brutal. :eek6:

    My daughters and I named the 09 MCS. We officially welcome "Minion" to the family. Guess this means I need to tweak my profile picture. :idea:
