Can an expectant (Mini) parent be added to your list? My new 2009 Chili Red baby is sailing the ocean right now. Hope to receive her mid-Oct.

Remember if you didn't specifically say "add me" I didn't add you.

Of course clubmen (or is clubman the plural of clubman? ) are welcome here Parkerton. All models old & new are welcome here. The only prerequisite is that you be chili red
Add me!

I'm seriously considering getting the Epic wax and Hydro solution; I'm exhausting my collection of Meguiars products first, however. Do you really apply the Hydro while the car is still wet like they say?

Yes. You can blade off some of the water first, but the car does not need to be dry at all.

And it is very forgiving stuff. If you do a somewhat half-assed job of working it in, it still looks great.

You'll go through a lot of it.

It is one of those simple & elegant solutions. Also a fan of Clarity here (glass.) It leaves no streaks at all.

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely add that to my list of "must gets".

Fortunately for me, I can wash my car year round here in Sacramento. I have a hose and a huge community parking garage. If I move into a townhome on the same property, I'll have my own garage AND hose to wash my car. Seriously considering a move once my lease expires, maybe before.

Let's see...at the current rate, perhaps five and a half weeks. Depending on how rough the seas are!

Just kiddin'.

Actually, that's a good question. I wasn't added until I took delivery. I don't know if that's necessary or not, though.

Of the 58 MINIs at a fall foliage run in Connecticut on Sunday, there were a dozen chili reds. Took most numerous category. Yeah, CROCs taking over. We should come up with an official mascot. How 'bout the crocs in the comic strip Pearls Before Swine? They may not be exactly brilliant, but they got heart.

Nice representation, brother CROCs! That mascot idea sounds cool, Red!

Would we be the first to adopt one?
