    I was stopped at a traffic light and a Countryman pulled up beside me. When the light turned green, I let the fellow MINI driver pull away first and noticed the LED tailights and realized it wasn't a Countryman at all, but a F56 MINI. :blush2:

    Oh...I wasn't driving my MINI, I was driving my Fiero, which sits lower. I'm not involved much with the MINI club activities here this year but the Fiero club does an annual toy and food delivery run to one of the radio stations Christmas campaigns.

    Yesterday, while driving my Jeep, had a red with black top F56 S overtake me. No surprise there :) but it was surprising that I didn't find the F56 all that unattractive.

    Drove to the super collider magnet & had all the metal bits in me removed. Luckily I had no metal in me & the mental case I do have was OK. Drove back home dodging holiday drivers all the way. Man some stupid folks out on the roads these days. :eek:ut:

    The used Euro Parcel Shelf I bought from an M/A member in NV arrived today! I'm installing it in my wife's S so she has more space to store her knick knacks and not jam them in the door pockets. She will really appreciate this after it has been installed and especially since these are harder than hen's teeth to find.

    Not nearly as hard as the glovebox divider....... or perhaps a JCW spoiler for an R53. :ihih: :cornut:

    Drove over to my other house (old childhood house) and shot a couple pics in the same spot where I took photos of my 71 2002 some 35 years ago. The house is in escrow now and I thought it'd be a cool thing to have as a memory.

    Actually, I found the Glove Box Divider last year at around this time, but it has taken me all this year to find the Euro Parcel Shelf and I had been looking for them both ever since buying her car in 2012. I want to keep my her car pretty much bonestock performancewise, so a JCW spoiler has no appeal, whatsoever. About the only thing I plan to do with her car now is to get the stone chips repaired and then have a Clear Bra installed on the bonnet.

    You are a brave, brave man. I'm a typical love-to-shop kinda gal but my cut-off is two weeks before Christmas and then I stay away from stores and stick to the Internet. I can get hostile in rude holiday crowds...
