Today we were up at Polaris and had just finished lunch at Red Robin. As I was getting Lil' B.A.D. in his carseat, wifey says "You better hurry up there is a MINI coming up" (she calls out MINI's anytime we are out). As I turn around I caught a glimpse of the elusive CHKMINI in the wild!

 

CHKMINI?

 

He is a member of our local club.

 

Ohh, thanks for the clarification, had me confused. Have a nice night

 

:: In best Richard Attenborough voice::

Ah... such a magnificent beast... a gentle giant, placid and slow to rouse, but fearsome when angered. He is... the wild NAM Silverback.

 

I had just left Sears picking up my new torque wrenches that fellow silverback Chuck turned me on to . Are you sure it wasn't Cooper driving MY CAR

 

Or was it CHKRCAB??

 

No Cooper was riding around in someone else's MINI.

 

In best Jeremy Clarkson voice....

Some say that his bones are made of carbon fiber, and that if he would have been flying the Millennium Falcon he could have made Kessel Run in less than eleven parsecs....all we know is, he is called CHKMINI!

 

Here's a snap of us on holiday.

 

I wish. I am studying for a Physics final exam. And watching the Oklahoma vs. Missouri game, hoping for an upset.

BTW, I have only driven about 9 MINI's that I recall. However feel free to join my club .

1. My MINI
2. 05' Stage 3 Dinan MCS at dealer (test drive)
3. Yuriy's 05' MCS
4. Steve's 02' MCS @ the BMC autox
5. Dan's MCS @ the BMC autox
6. Phil's 04' JCW
7. Rob's (my mechanic in TN) modded 02' MC.
8. 07' MCS at MAG (test drive)
9. Loaner 05' MCSc for 2 days (while getting my clutch replaced under warranty)

And I believe my MCS is fastest so far.

 

LOL... that's about 6 more than me.

 

I was just up there two weeks ago at my uncle's off Africa Rd on the backside of the CC and I didn't see a single MINI all weekend.

 

Oh you were so close to a nest of us. Sorry we missed you.

 

yeah....it was the weekend before Turkey Day. We got caught in the I-70 shutdown Fri night (no fun). Stayed over at the Hyatt Place by the mall near Grove City. I was out at the Target at Polaris Sat afternoon.

 

Who needs an Oklahoma upset........Pitt, Pitt, Pitt!!!! (sorry Allen if you read this)

 

I don't understand the ramifications of all this. Ignorance is bliss!!!

 

PGT, you were right next to the LUBE, a common place for viewing the Mid-Ohio MINI silverback

 

You and Cooper should be very happy today. Go Bucks!!!!!!

 

Will someone please explain this to me. What does it all mean?

 

Yep WVU laid another egg. Every time Mr. QB gets hurt they lose the game. Personally I think he should have not come back into the game with a hurt thumb, but it was not my decision to make so maybe 2009 will be their year! If Michigan takes Coach Rich I will officially start rooting for OSU at least once a year.

 

Cooper says:

You might think you're the fast one, but let's see you with ONE ARM/HAND! Huh, got you beat on that one.
And from what I hear about you're driving, I'm glad I didn't throw you the keys....

 

I have also read that if you place 4 high performance tires just outside of his range he will appear.

 

means I'm driving an ambulance down to new orleans

 

Thanks Dan, now I understand.

ROAD TRIP!!!
