excellent story all around, and I like how it all came full circle. SOmething about this tale, more than the photos or the talk of windy hills and pulley parties and pano and all this, makes me really years for being able to be out there with you all!

Happy Motoring!

Thanks for the link (pun intended), Tori! It really is a wonderful thing to see how not only fellow-MINI owners help one another out, but what a close-knit group the vendors are, as well. We have a very unique and special community!

Good story, no "swaying" from your theme. I like an ending that "links" us together as a car crazy community.

Great story! Kudos to all the vendors involved. Makes me happy to be a part of this community and know that someone always "has my back" if something like this happens.

I think the difference between the MINI vendors and other car dealers and service people is that the guys that work on our cars also drive MINIs and love them. We're all kindred spirits .

I can't wait to throw some of my hard-earned cash at the vendors mentioned to get my own mods!
