Weekend weather

So who is going to enjoy the sudden warm trend in Iowa to wash there cars from the winter sludge this weekend?

I know I am

Ditto! But it won't be quite up to the summer bath quality.

Since my MINI & me have only been together for just over a month, I'm going to see how the ride feels here in Madison, WI with the sunroof open!

Oh, yeah! The heaters are great! Open wide! I have heated seats, too. (awesome) Just thinking about driving with the top open brings a big old grin to my face. I will be thinking of all my fellow MINI owners out there also enjoying the day tomorrow. Let's Motor!

I thought it was normal to wash your MINI every weekend -- not just the warm ones...

Well, mine had a quick drive-thru wash and then we spent the day running errands with the sun roof open. Got a little dirty again in the process but had a great time!

I had my baby out for grocery shopping and errands on Saturday. Beautiful day for a drive. A little too chilly for the sun roof this time! No chance for a car wash, either. But I have decided that I am going to take pride in the dirt and muck! That is just evidence that we are having fun. So we will Motor On with pride.
