We need a nice wet day so I can put back on my worn-out azenis for the full effect. It's fun facing oncoming traffic on the race track.

 

But I need new "shoes" first....daughter getting married next month, and 'oh by the way, the Christmas holidaze are upon us. + my portfolio seems to have taken a major hit these past few months.
Maybe I'll just run up my credit cards and ask for a "bail out"......

 

Me too. Along with alist of other "Little" things. My problem is i'm buying a house. Maybe I'll buy one and default and say "hey wheres my hand out".

What a joke this guy is.

 

I'm bailing out in March ( retirement ). I figure I'll put in for a few billion in bail out money. That should carry me through.

 

Dang I'm impressed You must have seen this comming and removed all your stuff out of mutual funds in time I'm lucky, I have time to recover.......hopefully

 

Don't forget to put in a good word for the rest of us.....we ALL could use more $$$ for mods!! "Band 'o MINI Brothers" as it were.

 

Here, here!! I 2nd that motion.

Dr.Steve, what do you think about using something like this HKS muffler for our straight-through exhaust - in conjunction with the CF tunnel diffuser?

 

And how loud do you want to be?

Steve

 

Dr. Steve, any deliveries today

 

I thought you and Jill didn't like the drone.

 

I don't think they'll be able to hear the drone over the roar.

Steve

 

Next week at the earliest.

Steve

 

Thats a very good point.

 

Welcome to the retirement community. I think you'll find there are some things that don't need much money to make you happy. I.E. going to a usually busy place at 2:00 Tues. afternoon. Listing to the cars going to work on a rainy morning as you turn over to get another few minutes of well deserved sleep because you decided to stay up late for what ever reason. Doing a track day in the middle of the week without having to get permission from anyone other than the wife. Going to a place of business (Custom Mini) and watching them work. ( I'm going to pay for that one. ) The list is endless. Be creative and enjoy the ride.

 

Niiiiiiiice!!! If I ever win the lotto, I'm going to make this one of my regular routines. Watch out now Dr.Steve.

 

Between golf and the Mini I'll have more than a enough things to do. Besides just because I'm retiring I still have to keep up with Fracky in the modding maddness area and maybe a few more track days. Hell by me staying home and not going to work it saves me about $700.00 to $800.00 per month in fuel. I drive 160 to 170 mikes a day to work( not in the Mini) and hour and a half to two hours each way.

 

Joe text me when Fracky part deux shows up

 

Joe I'm coming down to CMS tomorrow morning early to have Steve look at my gauges. If you have the new toy bring it by so we can check it out.

 

I talked to the transport driver & he's in LA right now, so it should be here this afternoon.

I'll be at CMS tomorrow morning too, so you can check it out!

 

You and Steve up for a couple for Mc muffins? I'll stop on the way and pick some up.

 

What time?

 

Thanks for asking, but I'll be ok. I'm going to smog the car bright & early in the morning (don't know how long that will take) & then I'll jam over to CMS when I'm done. Look forward to seeing you again!

 

I guess I might as well show up too.
