Took a little photography field trip today with mine. My friend took some shots of my car driving through some curves too.
Nice MINI.... Such a cool building... Would fit right in here in the Short North... Repurposed as a coffee house, or seller of hipster clothing..... Or even a pastry shop or restaurant.... Sad to see it going to waste.....
That's just one building of an abandoned mill town. I do think it's cool that the owner refuses to sell it to devolopers because he would rather preserve a bit of history. Some scenes of some movie were shot there kind of recently.
It was used in the movie, The Hungry Games, it was District 12 if you saw the movie. Drive n Eat North Carolina was just there last week!
FYI guys that break into cars and steal stereos love those stickers. :idea: They are called "target deacals" for a reason......:idea: I know they looks cool but you may want to remove them or you may attract the wrong people.
Put R56 JCW rear brakes on my R52. The car has no idea what it is anymore. Also replaced a couple of rubber exhaust mounts and fixed a pesky rattle. And went for a short-but-glorious drive.
Drove up to Bass Lake for a great breakfast with the VBAC folks. Stopped at a local wine tasting/fruit and vegetable place not far from the house on the way home. What a great time!
Took the MINI to the Shell station for a fill up of 93.... Stopped by to visit my parents for a while and dropped off a DVD "The Grand Budapest Hotel" for them to watch.... Picked up some avocados and 4 catfish fillets.... Will be a grillin tonight for dinner.... Will be watchin season III of "The Killing" on Netflix....
Took my MINI out today to run around and pick up a few things including a birthday cards for Danny. http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/off-topic-general/22295-need-lil-help-here.html#axzz382rtTkoi
Washed both red heads today, the GMC and the MINI. Ordered a scan gauge II to get a better idea of how she's doing as a few goodies get added soon.
Went to my Daughters to celebrate her birthday. Like my Grandson says..."the Mini really likes these back roads Papa"! Picked up a card for Danny on the way home.
Currently sitting on 95 degrees and looking like this will be the normal for the week. MINI sits in the garage until I feel like getting out into the heat. My 5 month old Golden is good for 5 minutes in this heat then she melts along with me. Really do need to spiff the 07 and wash the Countryman, maybe later this eve when it drops to 91. My brake work, oil change and suspension check all went well on the 07, I am liking the Amsoil 5-40 European.
Wife and I took the MINI to visit her grandmother. Filled it up with some Shell 93, went to the store and got some IBC Root Beer! Later plan to take my wife to a movie. After she mows the yard. 26 years she's the best anyone could ask for!
Everyone should buy a card or two for Danny this week. I have a soft spot in my heart sick children. (yes I have a heart) No child should ever have to be sick and suffer from cancer they should just have fun being a kid. Help Danny's wish come true and take 10-15 min out of your day and buy a card and mail it to bring a smile to this kids face. http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/off-topic-general/22295-need-lil-help-here.html#axzz383FEIaRw
I would love to make a wise crack about Dave not having a heart........but I won't.............for now. But I will say Amen Dave.0!
