    Same thing I did yesterday, moved it across the street to avoid being towed away for street cleaning.

    I just sent a paypal transaction through to renew as a supporting member (year 2). Also sent a PM to Nathan letting him know my real name so he won't wonder who sent money.

    What? You think I would let you all know my real name? :eek6:

    Quality lunch then a wash of the Countryman today, I finally did the long job on cleaning the interior of the CM. :)

    Any good tips on getting the dog hair out of the CM, that MINI black material is a hair magnet?

    Today I used my last StickyPads I got from Prima Car Care a few years back, remember out little pup is only 5.5 months old but a hair ball in white. :)

    If the pet hair is on top of the carpet mist it with water and rub it one direction with your hand and it will come up in a nice roll.

    If it is imbedded into the carpet I use strong duck tape like Gorilla tape from Lowes or Home Depot. I pull off about two feet or so and mash it onto the carpet and pull it up. Kind of like how ladies wax their......:rolleyes:......legs. Yeah let's go with Legs.

    I drove to work listening to a repeat of Howard Stern with George Takei while wearing my kilt. People at work seem to be getting a kick out of it.

    You're not driving your car enough. Maybe you should get an F56 for your commutes and keep your R53 for real motoring.

    After spending the greater part of the past 8 days lying around with a severe bronchial infection, I removed the battery charger and dusted it off. I'm planning on taking it for a breakfast spin tomorrow morning.
