Dusted and vacuumed the interior. Still need to do the windows.

Afterwards, I took Nudnik up to the top of South Mountain, peered over the edge on the south side at the end of TV Road, then rolled over to Dobbins Lookout to peer over the edge on the north side.

C ya,
Dutch

Decided that I no longer liked my rally/driving lights so I removed them.

Also decided to play around with my GoPro

new shifter ****

This was on Friday, actually... just now getting a chance to post. Decided to order a new shifter **** online. I had gotten tired of holding onto the orange-sized billiard ball on the stick shift. This one was about $16 or so. I'm sure you've all seen 'em. It matched my car and interior perfectly, and it really feels GOOD. Now I'm not sure if I want to save the original shifter **** or make it into some sort of a desk ornament.

Went over to DMV this morning for title transfer and new license plates, and am getting her inspected this afternoon. She's ready to drive!

I've posted pictures in numerous thread, but I'll slip one in from the day before I picked him up, still sitting in his delivery wrap on the back lot. And here's another of my Roadster sitting next to my wife's Jaguar XF.

I'll add more this week when I get the Roadster top down in the sunlight. You betcha!

How much to 05089

PM me.
I apologize for the delay, I've been busy lately. The CG is already in a Priority envelope ready to ship, it should only be $5.80 flat rate. PM me to work out the details.

I drove my Mini as little as possible because the Tea Party and their insane hate for a LAW (okayed by the Roberts Supreme Court) is causing me to be forced to work while receiving no pay!

Same here. Ironically, everyone here is coming to work because we've been told that any leave taken (sick or annual) will have to be coded as furlough.

Hey Charlie Victor! Yeah, some irony is that everyone has turned in any leave they had so now we're falling all over each other. Did you see that the House voted to pay the furloughed peeps like what happened 95/96? Seems the Senate will sit on that one for awhile though.

Oops, just saw your "ironically" and I just kinda repeated it. My excuse: Late shift with plenty of thunder boomers floating around.

I contract legal service to the federal courts in Washington, DC. I'm not considered "essential" for pay purposes, so I continue to work without pay. Last vouchers paid were on September 17th. $15,000 in the queue and another $20,000 for work completed but not yet billed. I feel your pain, Melangell. No comment on political fault either way. Not in a MINI forum.

I'm being a bit picky, well recently. I felt that there was too much black up front, so I put most chrome pieces back to how I had it before.

Honestly, too much plastidip on a pepper white and it looks like a panda
