I'm for not going to the Dragon this year. Plans are already afoot for next year though... even if it costs me my 23rd year in a row attendance at the Sebring 12-hour race in March

But seriously, I love my wife.

What's unfortunate is that I had a video camera running in my rear window, pointed backwards... You can see the rear end slide sideways and then watch all of the guys come up... with some nice close-ups as they push on the rear end of the car to get me out of the mud.

It happened so fast I never would have had time, but Clo if you want to do it again just tell me when and I’ll have the camera ready.

You can't effect a citizen's arrest for a summary offense, only misdermenors and felonies However you can testify in traffic court.

I think you drive the dragon fast enough that your plate is always blurred!

Nothing more embarrassing than me that rolled the car down to 80 feet from Deal's Gap and waiting for cops for 40-60 minutes, tow truck almost 2 hours. Then, looking for Fontana Village for another hour in the Fog (we were lost... thanks Mr. Bean's direction we finally made it). After all, driving to hospital for checking was another 40-60 minutes.

Hey, Henry....you have had the most fantastic attitude about your very scary accident. I'm very impressed with what a good sport you are. By discussing it so openly, I think that you've diffused whatever embarrassment you may have been feeling. Best wishes to you and hope it's not too long until you get a replacement/new MINI.

I fell off of a rock while taking pictures at Tabcat Bridge during the midnight run. Then I got confused for a second that I was getting into someone else's car because of the 'tag' that was left on my side window: "Hey, my car doesnt have this sticker!"

Also, a couple Killboy pics show me kinda crossing the line. I cant help it, I automatically give people standing on the side of the road a bit more 'space' when I can. :impatient

I'm sure I had many embarressing moments (like the night time walkie talkie talk) and most of the Joweler shots haven't seen the light of day yet. We did get pulled 5 minutes after being picked up at the airport (pictures will be up soon) and then when we left I got to watch Tuls get detained at the airport because aparrently the Brewswap shift **** he won looks like a grenade through the x-ray machines!!!!
For those of you wondering what jowling is, it's the art of lossening up your face muscles, shaking your head as fast as you can and snapping a photo. I found that Mini owners are not very good at this.
Here's MetalMiniMapleleaf at his finest.


and Tuls w/buddy

I await my public flogging

Wow! They look like a couple of palookas who've been in a few too many boxing bouts!
