Once the snow hits I am going to keep Breanne in the garage as much as possible. I'm glad I have a short trip to work.

Good work bumping this thread. I'll make it a "sticky" until we can go back to the warm weather thread.

To Gary and all EIM's !

Hope you all had a nice drive today. I really preferred not to drive the Roadster in the snow or get caught in it. Will everyone please keep an eye out for an S model hardtop some where between the price of $10,000 to $12,000. Laura and i have a friend that would like to find one for his doughtier. Of course, it had to have been well maintained inside and out for me to advise my friend to think about it.

Talk to ya all later
Mike and Laura

hit a big puddle with the Mini and the Challenge splitter took a hit. I removed it and reinstalled the stock JCW splitter. If anyone wants the Challenge splitter I might let it go.

I have a thought it will be all new HD braking system all around. Or maybe the JCW tuning kit.

Time will tell.

Mike, sure hope that new bionic knee is serving you well and the next one takes you into Six Million Dollar Man territory. Looking forward to getting back together with you and Laura real soon.

Tell me about it. Yesterday afternoon I swapped over to the summer wheels/tires; this morning we have 10" of "spring" on the ground here...

10"?! I didn't realize it was that much! We didn't get snow here. Just a lot of ice. Luckily, the city roads weren't slick at all.
