Let me finish getting all the current MINIs out so I have room. I finished re-modding Brad's MINI so that's one. Joe's FPD should be done (current projects) on Saturday and Yolanda's is still waiting for the insurance adjuster. Things should start to be less busy after Thanksgiving as long as jury duty can be avoided. See you Friday.

Now you just have to learn how to drive it. I liked the fishtail when you turned out onto the street from the shop the other day.

Awesome time at the meeting, even with the rain, wind and cold temps this is the largest gathering of Mini's I have seen in a long time Hope your birthday was a memorable one Michael did Viki at least let you drive? One of our new members mentioned in postings on page 611 did not show however others did, just wish I could have seen that CF dash on the R56 JCW maybe next time For those that don't know several of us go to Casa Corona on Fridays for dinner and conversation. Bring your chairs and blankets as we typically sit around and have a parking lot social hour or two afterwards, we park over by the Wells Fargo bank and anyone can come. One word of caution don't get your hand between Jimmini and the bowl of chips For those that I won't see in the next week have a happy Thanksgiving Day.Thanks Tina for making last night a plesant time and a great meal.

Fishtail.........It must have sounded like that but believe me I'm not about to do that on the mean streets of Fresno with all the police around. I just changed the oil so now I might think about doing that on some country road but definitely not in a dense population area. On ramps though are looking promising to use like someone I know.

Niiiice. Plausible deniability on a public forum. See Steve, you were mistaken - there wasn't any burnout, just an aggressive crunching of asphalt beneath some massive tread.

Glad I was able to help with your long list of MODS that you want to do. If we do enough MODS it might be an "S" not that you need one

So with this on my screen I realized that I needed to make a pot of coffee. I think I'm on Juan's X-Mas Card list
