Spring Cleaning

After 5.5 months of winter! it's finally time to do some spring cleaning! spent 3.5 hours... although just one layer of zaino... i am prepared at least for now!

camera used was a cannon digital ixus... it was NOT highest quality shots.. but... 1.5 years later.... she's running strong, she has zero problems.. im still grinning... i still look back at her everytime i walk away....

Do you still give your MINI a love pat when you walk away?
Very nice though, well worth the tired arms, eh?

Very niceI realy like those wheels.
This took 4 hours the other day,was to pooped to do the black trim.
I did the wheels last weekend before taking off the winter rims,they took 3 hours,but the insides had never been done.

Well I'm nervously waiting for springtime hail storm to pass through! Hail stones don't bead up...they beat up!!!!!!

Anyway, I got some hail damage a couple of years ago. Roof got dinged up...but bonnet was unaffected. Maybe that huge pressing is made of heavier guage steel.

I usually don't have time to tango with a hail storm, but hey, it's Sunday night and I've got three weather radars cranked up!! Oh yeah!!!!

I'll have to postpone by bling-fest 'til tomorrow.
