Sorry to hear that !!! Hope the MINI makes a full recovery soon. Yeah, your insurance company can cover your damages and then attempt to collect from the property owner/manager. Should not be a problem.

CHRISTINE ????

Must drop out too...

Unfortunately it looks like I have too much schoolwork to do and not enough time. Hence I must drop out of this run.

However I do hope to make to the MoS Breakfast tomorrow, so I can at least meet some of you!

Radio's come in pairs... Eric should have his own
Well, yes we do have two radios, but Eric would never say anything on the radio. He's too shy so he makes me talk . Usually on the runs, he drives and I get to yap and wave at everyone passing by and enjoy the beautiful scenery!

I hate to be a wet blanket (ha!), but I just watched our local weather. 90% chance of rain tomorrow night, with rain Sunday AM, tapering off during the day.
I think I might show up with a dirty car, even If I wash it tomorrow night.
Also, rain + wet road junk = destroyed decorations....can't I just show them to you?..they're still all snug, dry and pretty in their cozy lil shopping bag... I wasn't expecting to win anything.

I know, I know...I'm a horrible, lazy person

Yeah, looking more and more like the rain might continue into the first hour or two of the drive.

I'll be judging The Decorated MINIs before we start so if you want to take them off, you can, of course !

But if you come with them in the shopping bag... sorry, I'm afraid YOU LOSE.

Hmmmmmmm... where are you getting that forecast ? My source just increased the chances of rain Sat night/Sunday morning to 90 percent.

Blech !!

And... I never saw a halfway clean MINI. They're either very clean or very dirty.

Shucks, I didn't think it was going to me raining, if it is, I won't be able to decorate my MINI. I had something planned involving paint (GASP!) however, it can't get wet or it will run; and there is no way in hell that any of it is finding its way into my car...

blech... that would suck if folks can't do their St Paddy's Day thing because of rain.

We'll have to wait for The Official Maxicooper Forecast but my source (Weather.com) is now saying the rain should end by 9am. Yeah, even if they are right, that leaves little time to decorate, plus the roads will still be wet and we know how MINIs attract road spray.

My dropper radar is off line.

I will have the update this afternoon. It shouldn't be that bad though.

Hey I was a good girl and washed Cecilia yesterday, so of course it rained last night. I don't mind a little water spots here and there. Heck I don't mind a little road grime here and there... I want to DRIVE Jay and I will be there in Cecilia tomorrow!!! (well Jay may be with Pawel, but we will be there!)

It looks ok though.

By the way, don't forget to bring your camera. It is a good oppotunity to capture some good pictures for this month contest.

The topic is "Wet'n Wild"

Have fun.
