    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.

    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. :cool:

    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!

    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.

    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. :D

    26 years she's the best anyone could ask for!
