2 questions

Both are nonsense.

1. why are Toyota and Subaru adverts showing up above the page, just under the North American Motoring.com. I thought this was a MINI site! You cannot tempt us......

2. any CM owners play instruments? if so, what kind?

hmm, haven't seen a subbie or toyota ad, but do see an x3 and tiguan ad all the time

I think that has to do with your browsing history/searches

nope, no instruments, unless I've eaten chili earlier

#1: I believe those ads are tailored to whatever info is on the page you're viewing, so some combination of car terms has caused the ad company to try to get you to think about Toyotas. Either Toyota's agency is specifically targeting potential MINI buyers, or it's just the car terms.

#2: I play piano and guitar. I played the sax for years and can still hack my way around on it, and I sing. I also play lots of other instruments half-decently (mandolin, recorder, etc.). Any reason you ask? The Martin fits in the Countryman just fine.

Just figured out how to upload an old video to U-tube. This was taken a few years ago when my little group Aberdeen used to play a this nice little coffee house in Reading, PA. But OMG, my hair looks terrible. but this was such fun, and is such a good memory.

I am a big fan of run-flats, and C and F sharp (as thats what the smallpipes, in key of A have and only a 9 note range) otherwise I am clueless. I tried the piano for a few years and could not get it, too many keys. but with pipes I have a finger left over.... so I am good. I'm not great at reading music that's out of my key.....
