    let it rest till I went to work. It needed a break after departing 9 to attend the 2 hour drive yesterday that the Midlands Mini Motoring group took to go eat. Then another hour drive to go to an event with my wife's work. Finally got home around 8

    I've heard of aged beef, but this sounds like this cow is a little long in the tooth........

    Once you use Hydro you will become addicted to it. Best stuff there is.

    Isn't it just detailing spray? Like the spray that comes in the Mother's clay bar kit? I mean Prima is much better but same idea right? Because I did in fact clay bar today.

    Spray on polymer wax. Wash your car, spray with Hydro & dry. Makes your paint really pop! It could also be used as a quick detailer or clay bar lube.

    Cleaned Scooter for MITM drive up on Wed. morning, I am still trying to figure out how I drive Scooter down on Sunday morning and the MINI5280 Van. Anyone want to drive a nice MINI down to Louisville/Boulder on Sunday.

    Follow the VAN and our Countryman after we do Vendor take down and have a bunch of donuts with coffee.

    Call my number in the Owners Manual if your want to drive a sweet R56. :) :smilewinkgrin: :Thumbsup:

    Installed WMW 16% Pulley and some NGK Platinum Plugs...
    Noticed that the CV inner boot is shot, and that the lower engine mount needs
    replacing... :(

    Going to DRIVE IT today! Been on vacation in the family car for a week. Nice car (Cadillac) but its like an old video game-visual stimulation only, no sounds, and no connection to the road! Also ordered the light in sight lens and will put it on the windshield today. It's the little things that mean a lot. It's also our first anniversary, she looks better today than the day we met.

    We drove to work, so she could slum it with the unwashed masses in the parking lot. But so help me if there is a door ding.........


    My coworkers have no respect for other peoples cars, or their own for that matter.
