    I loved how my wheels turned out, only problem is cleaning them when they get full of brake dust, the brake dust actually turns them a deep purple.

    Filled Skooby's empty gas tank & marveled at a billion smashed bugs on the front end. Waiting for our week of rain to clean them off.

    Ran over to the local Cars and Coffee gathering yesterday morning. Over 300 cars from various walks of life! Nice to see the turnout.

    No dragon for me this year. Been down there the last 3 years & have done 4 OFOTD's. This one is crossed off my bucket list. Maybe in another year or so I'll do it again. Have fun, be safe. :Thumbsup:

    Set it an appointment with the local BMW specialist, which conveniently happens to be next door to my new work. Now on to calling a towing company and securing a flatbed. I found myself missing my mini on the way to work-chevy tahoes don't like going fast through the twisties.

    I thought about mine sitting in the storage building for the last three days. Safely tucked away from all the crappy weather we've been having since Sunday. Everything is packed and ready to load at noon tomorrow rain or shine. Hoping for the latter.
