    ^^^. Let's see if people can figure out what seats those are? :idea:

    Hint : not JCW, they are better.

    Something you can get at Lowe's that will FIT in a MINI.

    Lowe's sells the MINI rear wiper delete kit, they sell the hole plugs in the electrical department.

    I fly home tomorrow to take my MINI home from airpot parking. I was going to do that yesterday, but flew from LA to OKC instead, to work a 16-hour day, instead (can't wait to right the invoice).

    My poor MINI will likely be spending more time next week in airport parking, as travel back to LA and Tulsa are being discussed. That, and they just signed a John Lennon 280SL somewhere. It's going to be a crazy week.

    It may sound like MINI cruelty, but I am springing for covered, secure parking, and this ain't no picnic for me, either. The things we do for money.

    Okay, it looks like I'm supposed to ask about PAR-BAKE PIZZA, so I'm asking. Actually, I am just a little curious.

    Par-Bake is exactly what it sounds like - partially baked - that way you finish baking it at home or wherever and it comes out of the oven piping hot instead of cold after being driven to the event. A lot of times it's frozen after the par bake so it will travel further and still be fresh when you finish baking it.

    Glad to see the Par-Bake pizza was "Made in America", assuming that's why the flag is on the lid...

    Course... If it's frozen.... It could come from a foreign country and the flag could be the consumption country....

    Nothing worse than a cheaply made defective pizza....

    I wonder?:confused5:

    Yep! My Primary Care doc diagnosed my cancer as an infection, and prescribed antibiotics. I asked him to refer me to a specialist (required by my HMO). The specialist knew right away that it wasn't a f-ing infection. I was in surgery the next day.

    Yup. I posted that in the What did you stuff in your MINI thread a long time back. Ernesto's pizza boxes reminded me of that.

    There were more bags in the passenger seat. It was around 500 pounds, IIRC.

    It was either Labor Day or Memorial day weekend. Lowe's was selling those double-20 bags for ten bucks.

    I'm okay with well done ground meat, although I like just a slight hint of pink in a burger. If I trust the grind, I'll do medium-well. Any less than that, I need to grind my own beef, minutes before I form it into patties and cook it.

    As for the 500 pounds of charcoal, I was amazed at how little effect it had on the drivability of my MINI. It was barely noticeable -- and I was paying close attention. Granted, it is not something I would do everyday, or for long distances, but I never once felt nervous when I was actually doing it.

    I believe Ernesto commented he would take a burger very well done - to me very well done is about the same as a charcoal brickette. Now I jest a little bit but when I've been shown a very well done burger its been a very dry looking piece of meat.

    Installed a JCW shift knob and parking brake handle. Aesthetics aside, this knob is much more ergonomicly correct for these vehicles.

    Forgot to list a while back that I emoved the faded and crack decals on the rear areo bumper. This became an easy project once I pulled out a heat gun!
