I think the driver does get dazzled by the brillance and beauty. Unfortunately in your case, they crash into you instead of a pole or a parked car.

I watched that movie before and after buying my MC and before and after buying my MCS. It's now officially a tradition. Years ago I saw the movie at the theatre when it came out... I remember who I was with, what I was wearing, and what I ate for supper that night too! Hardcore!

How do you remember all that? At my age, I'm having trouble remembering if I actually watched the movie last night or not?

Hey! How did an AB sneak into the NFR Suport group?!?!?!

Uh, KenL, you might want to get that steering wheel position problem looked at. I am pretty sure Mini will fix that under warranty.

I was wondering how Radio could tell it was a boy if the the place where the exhaust pipe should be was obscured in the pic...then I got very confused wondering about the sex of the dual exhaust S....

Ok...not sure how it all happened, but I woke up this morning after one of those weekends and found that I'm on my way to Silverstone to the MINI United 09 weekend. How the heck did that happen? Anyone else going? Have a similar weekend?

I have pretty much given up on attending any type of Mini event. The few times I have tried to get in on any local events was met with very snooty pre-R56 Cooper S owners who apparently loathe R56 and Cooper owners.

So, I just enjoy motoring about by myself.
