No... I'm saying we drove around the racetrack a few times, while the event coordinator drove through the middle.

I assess one penalty lap in the CVT with Cooper in the backseat licking your ear!

Geeezz...I can understand your leaving cuz B felt crummy, but the menu wasn't that crummy so what if the hostess made a mistake? ...and where were we supposed to have parked? You mean at MickeyD's or the lunch place? I didn't know there was designated parking. You guyzzzzz..:impatient You coulda said something, instead of just vanishing.

So we left, she took a nap, and I got some MCS track time in on Gran Toursimo 4... Then we went and ate at a real restaurant, and then to the 3 Doors Down concert in Annapolis.

Will are you referring to the parking when we arrived at the restaurant? When each group parked together and then high-tailed it inside to get out of the rain.

I thought the menu was great. I had a great pulled pork BBQ sandwich with fries and cole slaw for only $6.99. If I wanted I could of even lost some money in the slots in the next room

"and no one parked where the directions specified .."

I followed the MINI in front of me... who followed the one before .. who followed the leader who got us lost and in the wrong parking lot... But I don't care as I have a nice suntan thanks to the BatMINI and his powerful lights ...

Yeah, everyone parked where-ever... And my group did as well, despite me going to the designated location and flashing them with my hi-beams. Spilt milk, so w/e.

Concert was awesome.

Krut, you should start offering Lasik services... People can pay you $$$, then drive behind you with your fog on.
/\$$4a+. :P

Will,

Where did you read about "designated "parking ? Sorry I don't read instructions .... everyone who knows me knows this, too.

When I traded in my firt MINI the owner manual was still wrapped as the day I bought the car

Which brings me to the next question: how do I read the bloody oil stick in my MINI... I cannot figure it out..

I believe it was written on the route sheet handed out at McDonalds, not the draft posted in the first thread here.

Also, you seem to have all of your two's now, but they're all jumbled.

The oil dipstick is a very stupid design. There's a little ridge/line/divider in the middle of the plastic thing. If it's above/on it you're fine, if it's below it you need to add a little oil. Don't even get me started on WTH they made it yellow. It makes it way too hard to read when you do an oil change.

You said it! My new engine was hard to tell if there was enough oil in it. But then I grabbed a papertowel and saw it
