    Drove the MINI to the Covette club dinner, how did that fly? :p

    Am I the only one with a wife who thinks I drive to slow? I am usually 5 over... :confused:

    Drove the Countryman to the DMV to get plates for the Jeep (last year for this chore). Then I stopped by JAX and looked at a nice little 22LR Ruger Charger. Could be fun.

    Drove by a friends place, missed him and the family, he has the nicest 09 JCW Hardtop with only 3400 miles on it. I think he is saving it for his Granddaughter. :)

    :)

    Naw, My wife drives like a maniac and thinks I drive too slow, though I also drive at least five over.

    Took my wife's S for an all day 400 mile spin to decorate family graves for Memorial Day. Cops were EVERYWHERE, so I went the speed limit...averaged 37.3 mpg up and back...oh, Happy Day!

    Thank you. I consider it a privilege and will do it for as long as I am able to drive up and back in a day [it's not far enough for an overnight]. :Thumbsup:

    Drove mine yesterday for the first time in months. :D
    Just as much fun as I remembered it to be, maybe even better!
    Ordered LED taillights from ECS tuning. Too expensive? Maybe. But, she's been sitting quietly in my storage building for so long I figured she deserved a little present.

    Changed the engine oil and gearbox oil in the fianceé's MINI today, left mine in the garage, and worked on the Ranger Danger to get everything ship-shape for Wednesday's inspection.

    Hopefully I can leave the GP in the garage until its visit to Helix on Thursday.

    Contemplating selling it and this site and finding something else more enjoyable than getting a text while enjoying dinner with friends about how someone is hurt from text here.

    I'm thinking coal mining might be more fun.

    WTF, they have your text to complain, time to change the number or restrict who can call or text.

    Some folks are to damn sensitive.

    Grow some thick skin or some balls.

    Really isn’t an issue taking the MINI as at one time, there were nine MINIs in the Club as daily drivers for the Corvette owners or as primary cars of the significant others. We’re down a few now.
    I have a great picture of the Countryman Launch party at the local MINI dealership that has nine members of our Corvette club in attendance. We all showed up independent of each other and had a good laugh over it.

    Oh yeah, my wife doesn’t think that I drive too slowly: She KNOWS it :biggrin5:

    Sell the site and fix your car then sell that. If either is worth anything.

    Better yet give me the site and I will clean house.

    If you can't tell crybabies to shut up and quit complaining this my not be the business for you.

    I am personally tired of your text whining that I am the reason people leave M\A. It is not my fault M\A members are a bunch of LXM FACEBOOK wimps that can't deal the real world.

    I washed the wife's car (Lexus RX 350) and our neighbors car (Subaru Forester) and my MINI. Such a great weather day to wash the cars and enjoy a few cold beers.
