    Made a bunch of phone calls about an unsent pair of R56 rear trailing arms.

    I'm tired of making phone calls.

    Put the wonderful Minifini 2" receiver hitch on the R53 and got the swing-away bike carrier on it. Same carrier as I used for years on the Previa.... So slick and easy! Glad I invested in the Minifini system a few years ago.

    22 yr old son and his girlfriend getting the direct benefits.

    Drove the Dragon and Foothills twice on a beautiful day and had some great BBQ.

    Thanks Savvy for taking that lead car ticket. :rolleyes:

    Came back and cleaned a few cars and drank a lot of cold beer. (Perfect day)

    When you put it that way it doesn't sound so bad.

    Dropped some leds behind my air vents, on a separate switch so I can have them on when I want, tempted to get some sound reactive LEDs for the door speakers

    Set my Konis about to wash it. Should roll into the motorcycle resort between 11 or 12 tonight. The loud rumbling will be Isaacs Mustang.

    Organizing a drive through some twisty roads around the Vancouver BC area.
    Since nobody driving a MINI has responded, I opened it up to other cars of interest.

    If you're in the Vancouver BC area, you're welcome to join us. This Sunday...

    Motoring bird...followed me (I was driving my MINI, bird was flying) for about 2kms into the office parking lot and tried to follow me into the building.

    It didn't have a security pass so I didn't let him in.

    This does not bode well, can be fixed?

    Another shirt opportunity? :Thumbsup:

    Take care and enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.
