What kind of tires do you have on the Rotators? I had to get Performance tires if I wanted those rims but ended up selling them and getting all seasons.

Well, like was said earlier.... Need the photographic evidence to believe a word you say!

OMG! RUN FOR THE HILLS! Wait a minute....

This is our hill! GET THE INTRUDER!

LOL! You have to understand. We are a crazy bunch of Mini owners. If you look at this thread, you will see we are just a bit nuttier than most Mini owners. LOL!

And warn others when you go back to your own kind! We proudly wear our obsession! You are lucky you know. Skuzz is working on a defense system that will cover your Mini with NFR paint once you penetrate our borders. Of course, HE decided to take a couple days off and have a life! Pffft!!

YIPPEEEEE!!!
Just got a call from one of my MA's (yes, I have 2) and she was saying I'd be able to pick up Rosey before the end of the year. It would be right before I leave town so I said I'd probably wait until I got back to town and then that was also without putting my gas cap on. With them putting my gas cap on she said that would take a few extra days since they have to order the part. I'm hoping the gas cap is worth it, they claim they've never done that before yet my other MA has said he did it for a customer not too long ago. I'm starting to do the "I can't wait for my Mini" dance which kinda looks like the pee pee dance. People are going to think I'm weirder here at work. Now I have to start scoping out the safe places to park around town...

Sounds good but I'm afraid you lost me with the connection between your diplomacy and us drinking!

the stock 15" all seasons are workin' out pretty good for me on the super frozen crusty stuff. She seems cold and lonely out there though. While the white salt marks look festive for the holidays, she needs a bath tonight!

Translation (for the Canadian speaking impaired): Once he gets drunk, you will find out!
