bigger pic in my gallery. So far very happy with it, it has good suction and the attachments are of the ok grade, not proffesional but not bad either.

well, there's something screwy going on over the internet this AM cause
there are sites i can and can not access.

anyway, i placed the order for the new red bucket, 35oz bottle of
carpet cleaner (this stuff is great!), and that MF wash pads, some other
stuff through Griots and that 2x waffle weave sale from DP. wish
DP had more clay... guess i'll order the meg blue's online later on this
season.

i was thinking about the blimey handy basket but the red bucket alone
is quite an upgrade from my yellow griot's bucket so that was the deciding
factor. will use my yellow as my carrier, or the #2 bucket when i
rinse the wash mitt during the 2 bucket method on my G/MCS.

Hi from the McSwains Mark is working so he is not ignoring all of you Keep washing those MINIs

I'm driving around in a 08 MCSa. Lots of power but I do miss shifting. Sunnie had her a/c repaired & a whole new driver's window & motor replaced. Now they are trying to figure out why they can't get her locks programmed right. She's my "special needs" MINI

im in the market to get a new cordless drill for my garage. im going
to get most-likely a 12v since anything more demanding im just
going to pull-out my corded drill (Just recently got a nice
milwaukee drill).

my application is mostly for unscrewing/screwing stuff and
very limited drilling.

im not sure if i want a impact driver type or just a regular drill.
any recommendations?

i think im going to get a Makita with NiMH batteries 12v...
