    ^^^ Nice MkI Cooper S in the group photo!

    On a personal note, I put the roof back and took a spin over to the dentist.

    Really wanted to spend some money other than the wheels and tires I had to buy last week. Was gonna get an intake, but the sudden necessity for the previously mentioned wheels and tires I can't foot the bill. Plus Dave.0 said it adds like 5 hp cause it's red...

    And I hate that stock one. I always think I'm going to break it. The new wheels look pretty damn spiffy too.

    Red only adds 5 hp but really clean chili Red adds 10 hp.

    Thank you for the Austin pictures, nice Studie.... :)

    Good turnout, I will have to see if I can overlap a trip to Austin with this event.

    Not much MINI going on, the wife washed her own Countryman, then said I could do a better job this weekend. :) :)

    :cornut: Put a nice new set of gloves on MINI Margi. They are black and white checkerboard door handle covers:drool from our own 'Outmotoring'. Increased HP/torque 3/5 (tee hee). I also put my Life Member NRA badge on her. 1 more badge(!), oh no, they'll kick me out of the trailer park.(I really don't live in a trailer park) Then we went for a therapeutic drive on the TX country roads with Starbucks, cigars, and music. Great Day!:Thumbsup:

    Yup dug out of all the snow today. We can drive on our roads but I have nowhere I need to go.

    I guess it's a good time for an afternoon nap. :Thumbsup:

    Picked up another old fart, headed to Waldo for a fried baloney samich & conversation with a friendly old fart. My car is filthy from the drive down River Rd. but it was worth it. The snows a melting & the roads are sloppy as all get out.

    The snow is melting!!! :smilewinkgrin:

    I hopped into Montag and headed over to an old co-worker's graveside services early this afternoon. I'da driven The Phenix but I figured it'd be too loud for the residents.....

    Here's to you Jerry! :beer

    I think it hit 60 today... :) Took the wife and myself with her Countryman to dinner tonight.

    Very special day, she submitted her resignation at work, now we both can enjoy this retirement thing. :) :)

    Of course, it counted as a Valentines Dinner, too. ;)
