Ords- i sent you my email addy via PM. im sorry to hear about your
car's ding. I can give you my opinion if you can send me a pict of
where it's at. with the lower temps it's easier to crack the paint... so
i will resume my service again in Spring. that place in Oswego is
good. Nice large shop, and a detailing shop next to it (same building).

BRG/W MCS parked intown, no owner around but I did leave a Lets Make MINI Friends flyer on the windshield.

I was fully expecting to see the owner rush out and defend the MINI.

Last Friday I spotted a PS/B MCS on Main Ave. in Fargo, ND. Didn't wave as I was riding in a company car (Non-Mini). You must have some ride to the nearest Mini dealer.

I have those too, but have held off on using them.

Seems with the holidays approaching it might be a good time to try one out.

Man, 2 days and not a MINI to be seen.

I didn't get to drive today I might go workout tonight for the sole purpose of getting in some wheel time. (You know the BMW ad where the guy checks his pulse after a drive)
