You know, there is a guy in the classic Mini crowd who has made a habit of sitting in other people's Minis naked. I don't know how many he has done it to but I hope you guys aren't working up to that. You never know where that kind of behavior starts.

oh, and its one heck of a scar. a little over 3 inches long and looks like the letter "J" laying on its side. when the Dragon takes a bite, it ain't playing around!

Queenie:
Please tell me that you (or your Mini) have not been a victim???? I mean there is bonding with your car and there's BONDING with your car.

No, my cars have not been victimized. There was a short,very short period of time when Minis were not the major thing in my life We were doing 600 mile jetski trips instead. It was during this time that this strange behavior occurred at Mini gatherings in the southeast. They kept saying something about a starfish print. I just didn't understand it. I really just did not want to actually.


Hmmm, the Dragon is in the southeast. Maybe we have more to fear than a Dragon bite.

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better and have returned to one of the truly great loves in life.....but you know me -- I'm biased.

Now --- 600 mile jet ski trips?????? wouldn't you want a bigger boat? Like something you can sleep in?

Hugs,
PB

Ok, well....perhaps I'll remember to lock my doors unlike some one in a cabin two doors down from me (oh, and I'm still working on your car cover) I should bring sharpies and have a bunch of people sign it, once I get it on your car.

Hugs,

Uh oh. Keep your car locked. And that is bonding with someone else's car. Not so desirable.

Wait a minute, we never got upclose and personal in your MINI, and in the situation QueenB described, QUITE personal.

All we did was provide you with an AOL disk or two, well 5, umm 10, oh wait maybe it was closer to 150... in case you wanted to become a member. I don't see what the harm was?

Boy, now I really miss my MINI. If I could do it over I would have kept the little speed demon. But at least she is having fun on the PCH in Cali. Along way from her home in Cooper City, Florida. Who nows, maybe I will be at one in the next few years. The new and improved Rox-anne. Hard to duplicate but will be fun to try. The midnight run was the highlight to last years Dragon. Tear it up David..er, Koolmini. Leave some rubber for me.

Hope to see you back in a MINI soon Bruce and we'll be doing the Dragon for years to come if it takes you a bit to get the new one.

You bet. It won't work for the Midnight Run if it doesn't glow.

If it glows, you might want to have a Doctor look at that before the Dragon, sweetie.



Now, back to my disk car cover? I wonder if I should make an under carriage cover so I could totally encase the MINI in AOL disks.

Hugs,
PB

If you did that no one will be able to see all the neon I've put under the MINI.

As always Lois, whenever you say that I'm just speachless...

BTW does your car have the cool "protective cover" over the roof switch warning you to only close the roof if you absolutely have to? I saw the a few weeks ago and thought it was hysterical. They need to make one for the hardtops (The ones with the sunroof of course)!

I saw them too but I didn't get one. Perhaps I'll call my MA in Memphis & see if I can get one retrofitted

I just posted in NAV and Sound

for a trade on my NAV CD's so I can find my way to StL and then to the Dragon in May. I have:

- a 2003 Region 2 - Northwest and Southwest (Rockies, WA, OR) and
- a 2004 Region 2 - same thing

I will be needing Regions 3, 5 and 7 to get to the Dragon, or I might get lost.

Any help out there?
