    Spent hours detailing it this weekend in uncharacteristic humidity (ugh, I was drenched in sweat) just to notice little tiny handprints all over it this morning when I drove it to work. There was even a full print on my driver's side mirror. Evidently my kids love the MINI too. :D

    Clayed, polished, then waxed it. Now waiting for torrential downpours to roll through.

    The new vacuum pump came yesterday, so I showed it to the car. It honestly seemed less than enthusiastic. It just kinda sat there really blankly staring at me.

    Hoovered it out and washed it. Put it back in the garage where it sat safely while ThunderBoomers moved through.

    I cleaned all the gunk off my windshield today.
    Then the guy showed up to sealcoat my driveway so the MINI is stuck in the garage for 3 days. :D

    Dude, it sounds like you used that as an excuse to not drive it. Whats up with that?

    I mean, I woulda just parked mine in the middle of the yard to make the neighborhood jealous.

    In anticipation of doing the front brakes on the R53, I took the liberty of freshening up the parts a bit...

    Oh, and my Dodo Juice came today too!
