With the lighter air at that elevation I think it was best we removed the rather Ginormous airfoil!

Mike's already in the Clouds...dreaming about his new R56. We need to keep Churchill solidly planted on Mother Earth!

We were thinking of naming our new MCS "Winston", but down here people would think we liked to smoke Still looking for a proper name.

Nice spec on the new ride, we have similar tastes.

Enjoy

MINIUSA Says....

The Mike's new R56 is done, and is going through QA today. I hope it spends alot (enough) time there. We don't want ANY birth defects.

The OB/GYN's in Oxford did a Sonogram today...here are the results.

Isn't he just absolutely precious??!!!!

Rubino,

Winston is a great name! And to heck with the uncivilized bunch in your area

People keep asking me what the cars name is, and I can't make one up... I have to wait and spend time with him and listen to what he tells me his name is.

LOL I am such a nut!

Cute. All the fingers and toes. Pointed a little wrong to see if it's a male or female though!

I dunno if Mike will be fortunate enough to be knocked out for a C-Section at delivery, JJ. But with any luck, Brecht will give us an Epidural at delivery, because we're going to need some kind of pain management as we write the check.

I haven't met either one of you YET, but I would bet that he/she doesn't resemble either of you.

Au contraire... Wendy has big headlights. But Mike's antenna is stubby.

It's hard to put a Cadillac in a doghouse. Thus, his need for a MINI

Well tonight's episode will be the removal of Church's M7 Oil Catch Can... Tops of discussion will obviously relate to lubricants, silicon, and hose.

Last night we removed the OCC at BBCooper's. Not much banter as we were installing another OCC in another MINI.

Topics covered:
Mike's man purse
Hairy bag
Migranes
OCC installation
Hose
Lubricants
Suction
Big Headlights
Torque curves
Bananna Foster Cheesecake
Cycles

This morning I spoke to ASK-MINI again and they indicated my R56 was awaiting transport!

The comment was made that via the un-modding process Church is becoming "Just a car." Nope... he's still Church... The little car that brought so many friends to my life, got me a new vocabluary, wardrobe, and obsession. While I am still sad to have to give him up, I just keep hoping that he is responsible for bringing the same to another owner.
