Some would say that he did not loose a MINI, but he "gained" a life and that was reason to be positive.
I personally think he is just a nice, happy and upbeat person.

The thing I hate is most bars don't even have cider.

Video of agranger's escape from the mud
Here's a little video of agranger's escape. Some friends were cruising by when all of the MINIs caught their eye. Wish I'd been there! Until next year...

I guess my most imbarrasing moment was my clutch slave giving out on me and basically getting stuck pointing uphill on the second Scenic Tour group drive just short of one of our stops.
Luckily a large group of awesome MINI owners came running down the road to help push my MINI up a very steep hill, all the while i was hearing "We've got a Man down!" blaring on the radio
I know there are photo's or Video out there somewhere as i also looked up and saw some wives snapping away hehehe.

OOO i have a good one... haha
I was driving Chad's car to visit MKO headquarters on Monday night... and his seat was WAY too far back (but i didnt want to adjust it for the quick trip)....
and as i left, i reminded them that i cant drive... and then stalled the car.... they all laughed with me 
(I also did it a few times while visiting Whalen. I SWEAR I dont stall the car at home anymore! hahha)

Well, it started out not at all embarassing when I got to drive the sexiest car of the dragon 2006 aka Tori's car, but when I was told that Hyper Pink Metallic was a good color for me, well, I can comfort myself with the knowledge that I was entrusted if only briefly with the sexiest car of the dragon.

I showed up a bit late to the dinner, but I got the car washed after the off-roading experience... you have to have priorities.

I did the unthinkable! Learned my lesson and thank GOD, no one was coming from other direction. I now know and should have known before last weekend the bounderies of the machine I have been driving.
