What did you do with your MINI today?

Hi....I've been out of town. From anywhere in north America, you can't drive a car to Juneau Alaska. There isn't any road into there. You have to either fly, or take a boat. Yet, I found a MINI there.

 

Went down to the Mini today so I had to pull the right front wheel off so I could drain the catch can. It's been a some time since I've done it. Getting ready for the car show next Sunday. I'll try and get some pictures.

 

It took me a week longer than anticipated due to a dead battery, but I took Rufus out for a spin last night. I've been craving a White Russian (don't judge... if it's good enough for The Dude, it's good enough for me) and I had cream / Kahluah, but no vodka, so off to the shops! That, and I needed to buy a bottle of something nice for our neighbors who just moved in and are getting married this weekend. It was so nice to be out and about in the MINI again. It has been sitting way too much lately (much like myself ).

That being said, the wedding gift brought up an interesting question. I know that you say 'congratulations' to the groom and 'best wishes' to the bride. What do you say to the couple when they are both grooms? I think I'm going to let the bottle of Champagne speak for me!

 

I'm driving down the Oregon coast this week. Driving the family car (the Countryman). Will post pictures after I get home.

 

I must be getting old, but I took Checkers to my detailer today for a good wash job for the car show Sunday. They did a great job.

 

Good luck !!

 

Thanks. I won my class last year so this time it's just for fun.

 

Took Checkers for a fill up and get lunch for tomorrow (Popeyes nuggets, corn chips, taco chips, olives, pickles, mac&cheese and drinks) that should be enough. Now next is to get the wife to get up at 6 am it's an hour and a half away.

 

How was the car show ??

 

It was fun. The only problem was more than one thing going on at the same time so not as many car as last year, but still fun.

 

Guest what. I just found out I took first place in my class again this year. I really didn't think they would give it to the same car 2 years in a row , but there was fewer cars.

 

As nice as your car is I say you earned every bit of it.

 

Thanks again. I was going over the trophies I have. I think the best one I've got was BEST IN SHOW (2014) at Mini Mania with over a 100 Minis.

 

Very impressive and a most rewarding win I’d say.

 

Fired her up and took my son for a drive...he's in college now...the last time he rode with me he was sitting on a booster seat...but he remembers quite well...

 

Quality time with your children at any age makes for a great day.

 

Yes. They actually made a tee shirt with my car on it. If I get a chance I'll take a picture of it.

 

Nigel has become my my daily driver since we bought him. So about 50 miles around town for a couple appointments and errands today.
