Off to the UK tonight!!

Well, Mrs. Mr. Jim has gotten a job with Celestion and they are based here in New Jersey and the home office in Ipswich England. So she has to go for training and guess who gets to go along!
We are leaving tonight and have already hooked up with the East Coast MINI Club for a Friday night meet at a local pub in Ipswich.

I see that Ipswich also has a MINI dealer, so I'm going to try and test drive the Clubman!!

We'll have the laptop with us so I'll try to post some pics as the week goes by.

Mr. Jim

I don't, the Mrs. will be in work 9-5 so I'll have plenty of time to check stuff out. We'll be there for a week.

Right! We've been having a blast so far, lots of pubs, lots of MINI's! Went to local MINI dealer yesterday, checked out the clubman, unfortunatily the only one they had left was in the showroom. Got some pictures and some cool swag. I'll be posting some pictures tomorrow, as I have had one too many pints today to work on the pictures. The local mini club is going to pick us up on Friday night for a night out the pub. Gte to see some modded MINI's. So far just have seen the veryday MINI's and a few classiacs. Very cool!
More later.
Mr. Jim
