I drove home through the Litchfield hills last night in snow, with my 2 year old Pirellis with no problems,
2-year old tires on a MINI! Mine don't last more than 6-8months! Of course I put of tons of miles....

The forecast calls for sunny skies and temps in the mid-50's. After the driving is done, the chance of beer precipitation into my mouth is 100%.

Today: A mix of clouds and sun. High around 45F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph.

Tonight: Mainly clear. Low 29F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow: Except for a few afternoon clouds, mainly sunny. High 51F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.

Tomorrow night: Cloudy with occasional rain showers. Low around 40F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

I agree, a good hose-off station on Martha Street would be wonderful for those of us with dirty cars.

I believe the American people can see how much my MINIcup opponent d-mini-ero flip flops on the issues. Is this the sort of person you want to win the MINIcup? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I don't know how I feel about all this talk from these S owners about having won already...

no respect for the Cooper..

pf course, I'd gladly take an S win over last year's apparent result of a BMW...
