I was late, had dogs and was heading to visit the old folks at the home in Dublin. Come to think of it, I could have just stopped at LeChat to see you!!!

Wow, I was happy with the 1-2 waving MINI "Friends" that I pass on or from work each day... you are surrounded by a fleet!

Yep, that's me! How long have you had your MINI? It seems like just recently I'm starting to see a couple on my commute along 49.

Oh, and welcome to the wonderful world of NAM.

Had it just over a month now..
I have blacked the grille out so far, but am probably ordering IE camber plates, new rear control arms and putting some H&R springs on soon.

after that I'll get under the hood....

I saw a bunch of MINIs today at a Tim Hortons near New Albany. All the drivers were friendly. One driver in a blue R53 seemed to be especially fascinated with the Timbits.

Also saw a gold R50 this afternoon and got a friendly peace sign.

3 MINIs tonight in the space of about 1/2 a mile. One oblivious no-look, one puzzled-confused-blank-stare at my wave, and a vigorous driver/passenger multi-wave.

Spotted an R53 CR/Checkered Roof heading into Greenville on my way home tonight... Looked to be lowered and maybe areokit (or at least the aero grill). Checkered MINI to Checkered MINI Wave even!!!
