Fair enough. Actually, I believe that they unload the cars in L.A. (Longbeach I presume), and from there, they truck them to their final destination.

Hey, had I not done that, you probably would have been reading about me in a newspaper with the caption, "Man goes berserk, eats toefood!".

I got a nice new roll of duct tape today, to really attack the lint that thinks it can hide in the interior crevices! Honestly, I am OK with the exterior being a little dirty, that's what a driven car will look like. But I can't abide the crumbies and lint breathren.

Hehe, I see em at the dealers all the time, but have to see one in the wild being driven aboot.

Although there has been a substantial increase in the Mini population of my lately. Just this last week, there was a PW/B, CR/W, LB/W, MY/W and an older blue/blue (non-metallic) one.

Even got a wave from the MY/W one. She was a cutie! And the girl driving her was cute too!

I saw a MINI in a cage this week. There's a sign attached to the cage describing it's habitat, feeding habits, etc...hilarious! There were also warnings not to enter the cage unless you are aware of the risks, etc...

Thanks. Got sucked into the Zaino thing a few years ago. Makes a big difference and quiets the VR naysayers.
