    Drove up to Loveland in the Countryman with my Golden as a passenger, she is a great rider. Sleeps both ways, but she has a lot of energy to burn right now. :)

    See the Gun Thread for why I went to Loveland. :D

    Tomorrow it is up to Longmont, then Sunday is a club ride out into the plains of Colorado, could be interesting.

    :)

    Went to the Vancouver International Autoshow and visited the MINI booth. They gave me a free MINI International magazine. Haven't seen one in years.

    Technologically challenged.

    Tried to insert the photo from imgur by clicking the picture icon in the message screen and pasting the web link. Still didn't work... I give up.

    Today I started up my MINI and let is warm up for a half hour so I could jump in and take it out for a nice run do some errands.

    Even went out a second time. :Thumbsup:

    It's nice being back home and able to drive my own car after being in Atlanta for a week beating on a base model VW Jetta.

    Washed it in 37-degree weather after a flyover by a vicious flock sparrows left it looking like the star of "101 Dalmations."

    Not all that much, really.

    Just converted my auto to a manual.
    And installed GP doors and interior trim.

    Took a MINI drive out in the corn-try to Shreve Ohio for some Amish grubb.... Tagged along behind another MOM couple.... Beautiful sunny day.... The MINI was happy... Saw a few 1HP Amish race buggies.... Only used one candy corn of Shell Super.... Had a stellar time with the wife out in the fresh air.... Doesn't get much better....:D
