    :cornut: Checked all the fluid levels, tire pressures, emptied the OCC, filler her with 93 octane, cleaned the wind shield and went for a drive in the country. :Thumbsup:

    Busy Day

    Had a great day despite the weather.

    Started with Donuts with my friends :donut1:

    Then I got a call from a buyer stating they intend to by my R50 this week (pending financing). So keep your fingers crossed.

    Turned over 101,648 on my R50. Still running great.

    Most enjoyable, I took silverback for a ride down to Jackson Ohio to watch my daughter compete in her first cow horse reigning competition. She did very well for her first competition finishing fifth in her class. Of course she couldn't wait to text her friends back home her scores.

    Strangely, I couldn't find ny other MINI's parked at the horse arena. I guess the spurs must get in the way of the heel/toe driving. :confused:

    Not sure why the photos are sideways. They aren't on my computer. Sorry

    Great news on a perspective new owner for that sweet red MINI. :fingerscrossed:

    Your daughter seems like quite an accomplished rider. I mean the way she can make that horse stand on its nose & she even stayed in the saddle. Could it be the new ant-gravity saddle? :wink:

    Well over my journey and honeymoon I went from 61k miles to 63k miles. :) Still running like a champ (despite the occasionally noisy TO bearing).

    Great to hear the ride is alive and running strong Nathan! Post Vids w/audio when you get the chance!

    Washed and clay barred yesterday, wax, vacuum and Black Wow today. With Auntie duties in between. Do you think Rick will let me stay off work this week so Daphne doesn't get dirty before the Dragon?!

    Lol, I know that Jim, but after all that work I want it to last longer than a few hours. It's gonna get plenty dirty on the way down to NC on Friday.
