Just think it could be as much as 60 degrees warmer by Saturday

I was going to go shopping last night but with wind chill it was 120 degrees colder outside that in my house I decided to stay put!

Trust me, my car will not be cleaned before Saturday!
Temps in the thirties sounds heavenly.

Okay, the video and all of this cleaning talk has inspired me...therefore:

At Wig and Pen on Saturday, in addition to meeting, eating, and planning we will raffle off a few selected NEW detailing items to get you ready for Spring. Be there or be square.

-----

Oldsbear, you're an EIM plankowner. There's always room! (Plus, I doubt Brian will be giving them a final number until tomorrow.)

Ah ha! All it took was word of a raffle for detailing supplies to bring you out of the woodwork.

Hope to see you there!

It might be hard to choose a winner for this one--the competition may be stiff. Maybe the cleanest MINI should get the "OCD diagnosis" award!

We know who would win the "OCD diagnosis". Remember, we saw you with the duster on You Tube!

And, by the way, I like to call it "CDO". Put the letters in alphabetical order like they belong.

Great to see everyone even though the weather could have been better...

Just think spring is that much closer!

I echo D3m0N's sentiment -- thanks for coming out today! It was good to get back to Wig and Pen after the long hiatus.

Congrats to the raffle winners!
deanman -- Detailing Brush
getting grey -- Shop Towels
05MINI -- Micro Cali-Duster
TasmanianBlu -- DP Waffle Weave
fomogo1 -- The Original California Duster

Here's a few pics (the ones when the focus on my camera wasn't frozen). Did you notice the plethora of Dark Silver MINIs today? They're taking over the dominance long held by the PWs!

Hope to see everyone in Davenport on Feb 21.

Good food, good friends, good MINI talk! Thanks, guys. Gozer will have to stay very dirty for a few more days. Hopefully it will warm up enough this week she can have a much deserved bath. The interior will get a good dusting even if the outside stays dirty!
