    Dug them both out from the 2+ feet of snow we received here in NJ. Then took the gf's R60 All4 out and about.

    Broke a shovel yesterday and there are none to be found anywhere near us. Going to have to find one some time this week incase this projected storm hits for Thursday/Friday.

    Can you find shovel handles? I have few shovels that are on their second handle.

    I hadn't thought about a replacement handle. I'll be on the look out this week. Thanks.

    If'n a spare handle isn't available depending on the shovel maybe a piece of tubing or pipe could get ya through.

    5280 Club Meeting

    Well while most of you shoveled, MINI5280 had an outside meeting at Schomp MINI.

    Schomp had an event with three new MINI Clubmans for folks to drive and a free lunch. Well run event, no pressure. Some of the folks took some long drives, apparently per comments the S can scoot pretty well.

    In person, I liked the Clubman, with the ALL4 it might be a good MINI for Colorado.

    Four quick pictures, the guy in the chair is Chris MINI5280 President, the tall guy in the white shirt is Mark O, General Manager of Schomp MINI, he is becoming more of a enthusiast each year, supports the clubs. :Thumbsup:

    Nice to get confirmation that they do come in a color other than Maroon! I like the look of the Thunder Grey car. I might have to take a test drive the next time I visit my dealer. Don't want one, but looks to be worth a try. Then again, I didn't want an F56 until about an hour before I closed the deal. :idea:

    Devised a route plan for a drive through some twisty roads and hills that don't involve snow. A couple of MINIs in our group are GPs with supersoft tires that don't do well at very cold temps.

    Anybody (MINI drivers please) in the Vancouver BC area interested in joining us for a drive, please feel free to meet up with Size MINI Club at Moscrop Secondary School's parking lot in Burnaby at 10am on Jan 31/16 for this drive.

    Went to the garage this afternoon and started up the black one, let it run

    for 1/2 hour. To add to that put the Jethro Tull album "Stand Up" in the old

    cd player. All in all it was a pretty good forty minutes.
