What did your MINI do for YOU today?

Well, this being the Diamond Jubilee and all, it kinda makes sense. It was a good show. Lots of classic Minis, MG's, Jags, Sprites, a Lomax, that only has one rear wheel. Roll Royces were there, too. Should have entered Giggles. There was only one Mini in the Mini 2002+ category! She would have given that Mini a run for it's money! Next year, fer sure!

Molly took us on a PDX MINI Club Run to take a ride on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad http://www.ocsr.net/, stopped off at Tillamook Cheese Factory http://www.tillamook.com/cheesefactory/index.html on the way home for some Ice Cream, and some Taste Testing of Cheese!!

Anyway, today Jubilee and I took a spirited jaunt up and down the winding road through Cheyenne Canyon (just west of Colorado Springs), then hit up local ice cream legend BJ's Velvet-Freez for a strawberry-butterscotch malt.
Tomorrow morning, she gets her first commuter duty. I'll try to make it as exciting as possible, but I don't have high hopes.

Mr MINI transported me from Vegas to San Diego in fine fashion. Neither heat nor sun nor pouring rain fazed him in the least - and got to use my rear wiper for the first time - love the perfect arc it makes on the back window under the spoiler. I even got my first comment ever in the parking lot of Whole Foods in La Jolla after arriving back in the Golden State. "Hey, that's a BIG one! Never saw one of those before!" To which I responded, "Yes, that's right."

I have seen so many approaching cars cross the line, obviously distracted.
NO TEXT MESSAGE IS WORTH KILLING SOMEONE, BEING KILLED, OR SEVERLY HURTING SOMEONE!!!!

Giggles, I go through this almost daily, not head on of course, but IDIOTS non the less. I say it is jealousy...just this week I had a woman try and sideswipe me because I moved into her lane, she was clearly visible in my rearview mirror, *blinker* on and for no reason at all she sped up changed lanes, but came back into my lane. Molly had to use the Emergency Lane to keep her from causing an accident. I also had a POS MiniVan think I was in the wrong while I was playing "one potato two potato" while trying to move into traffic, again *blinker* on and following every other car...
"what's with people you ask?" majority of people are in way to much of a hurry these days, when I use my Cruise Control in our residential area I constantly get people wizzing my me, or worse crossing over the Double Yellow Line to go around me.
Yep, I see it everyday too!!
