    I was in my truck this morning and saw one or two snowflakes. Y’all can keep your snow! The high today is going to be 39, I thought this was the south!

    Nice Mini Collin! But I am surprised you parted with the R50.

    He will regret it later. Add don't subtract.

    We can not have 3 MINI/Minis in the garage. Either had to sell the R50(which is what I am replacing with the R56S) or my wife said she would sell her 1974 Austin Classic Mini......easy choice!

    I am selling the R50 to a good home! My best friend, Steve at Summit Racing, past away from cancer at age 47, his daughter fell in love with MINIs, but I wouldn’t allow her to buy a used one. Have seen too many horror stories with used MINIs. Steve is one of a very few select people that I allow to drive my R50, feel blessed that I can allow his daughter to make new memories with the now “Street R50”!

    Got on Steam and took advantage of Cyber Monday sales. Bought some more racing games for my PC. Some games were 90% off. I am really tired today because I spent the night racing online. There is so-o-o-o much to learn about setting up an F1 car. But much simpler is racing a MINI around the Macau GP circuit.

    Nice that you have games to keep you entertained. Doing a track day with your MINI will be more fun that you'll ever have with a game. :Stig:

    I’m not a gamer but I imagine it’s a nice diversion during the current COVID 19 situation and the cold winter days that are now upon us.

    I used to autocross a bit, but these days of social distancing. Once set up, it's also a lot less expensive to race online. The graphics on some the newer games are stunning.

    my set up is nowhere near as elaborate. I am very much entry level. Even at that level, getting wife acceptance factor for any upgrades is challenging.

    I'm not sure why anyone would want a car in their basement, but that's just me. I think he has to much time on his hands.

    I’m guessing because it was a challenge and he could. It’s not something that I would want to do nor could do but to each his own.

    Put Gyeon Q2 Trim on all the exterior black trim.
    (Well, not all the trim, skipped the honeycombed grill trim - too labor-intensive to do on a cold windy day)
    303 rubber seal protectant goes on the door
    hood and boot rubber tomorrow.

    Started the Helmet and let it run for a little while. No driving it just sat in the garages and idled. Yes the garage door was open.
