Just remember, the bad word spell checker can still get things that are plural... and if it doesn't automatically get you, then a Mod will. I learned that the hard way when we tried to get sassy while everyone was at AMVIV.

If it's anything like the wheat grass shot I had at Jamba Juice a little bit ago (DISGUSTING!!!), there is no way I could even think about a worm. Fear Factor here I don't come.

Oh, the mescal worm is just fine, blargo! It's basically pickled protein, like a chewier form of tofu and not at all gross! Nice and chewy like some sort of shellfish! Besides, by the time you get to the bottom of the high-proof bottle, you're game for just about anything!

I can't imagine getting that many MINI owners together...and that many NAMers...and not having a blast!

Hey, I had some fun today...I did a test drive of an MCSCa and a MCC! Very interesting and not what I expected. Both cars awesome....and I actually preferred the Cooper!!! I didn't find it "down on power" or anything I'd been led to expect given the extra weight. Also, maybe from driving a MINI for several years, visibility really wasn't a problem at all (given properly adjusted side mirrors). Some very pleasant surprises.....and, no, I'm not even considering trading in my MC....I just have a friend considering a cabrio.

Cheers!!!

The numbers on NAM are down but doing OK.
Quality over quantity!

Hey, it's a great time for some under the MINI cleaning and washing.
Last week I did the washing/waxing and interior/upholstery maintenance.

Will do some motoring this weekend and celebrate Mother's Day!
