    Gave the MINI a deep clean today and used Black Wow for the first time on the trim. AWESOME stuff.

    Took a pick of the cleaned up MINI at the local Starbucks, while spending Spring Break with my son and parents in Tyler, TX. :)

    Added "black Jack" decals to my door handles to match the new seat cushions. I know, I know, I really do need to take a picture, but you can "visualize" for now. :D

    I had to replace my brake lines last week and the power bleeder just never got a good bleed on things. I decided to do it one more time, but added a few steps on the brake pedal (the good old-fashioned way to bleed the brakes) and on the first step a huge amount of air came out of the line... nothing but clean fluid after that.

    The brakes are back in tip-top shape again and no longer feel like the brakes from 80's era Buick.

    Logged 400 miles, visiting a couple of places in PA that I had never been and realizing why I had never been there and why I won't go back. :D

    After paying $4.25 for gas, as I rolled along (between 65 and 75), watching the mpg reading say 45.5, I realized that not having all that low end torque, did NOT matter to me at all. :lol:
