    In collage they should learn all about scissors, glue, pasting, and artistic composition!

    I will find a place to store it until the wife gets grumpy and says get rid of it. :lol:

    I will not be taking 2 bumpers to the Dragon that for sure and the new one will stay on.

    Hmmmmm....
    Are you the reason there is now a shortage of these "soon to be rare" bumpers?

    I just turned over 40K mi. Not bad for a 10 year old MINI. Although I put on 15k of those since Dec of '12.

    It's good to know that I'm not the only one that uses a 24 hour clock!

    It's just easier. Especially, during the winter months. Nothing worse than waking up from one of those deep sleep naps on the weekend, looking at the clock, and instantly panicking as to whether it is evening or morning... and whether or not your night is completely shot to hell, or you are late/early for waking up in the morning.

    Doesn't happen so much to me in the summer... but in the winter time, it freaks me out at least once a year. The 24hr clock eliminates that to a degree.

    ^^^ Heh Heh Heh....

    I won't admit this.... But I have been known to show up for work Saturday morning thinking it was Friday and wondering why all my workers were late coming in... I only did this once... My wife wondered why I left the house so early that time... I told her I had "things" to do at the shop...:eek:

    I used to have a co-worker who was guaranteed to come into work on a holiday at least once a year. We had a pool each year on which holiday it would happen........

    Drove both MINIs in the rain today! Guess I will wash them in 5 days, TY Colorado.

    Brace up for some flooding down stream.

    well I did a 2.5"SS exhaust; 2.9lvl axles from the driveshaft shop, and an OBX racing SS header (wrapped and coated of course); breathes a lot better and sounds good ; looking forward to see how it does on the Dragon in Oct......
