Aw man, really? The only oxy blue? That's sad. I'm really sorry I couldn't make it, other stuff came up. :(
but in good news, Basil and I got into a magazine! MC2! I haven't seen it yet but our club was interviewed at MINIs on the Dragon. They posted the interviews and a photo (maybe more?) of our club. I can't wait to see! :D

I joined....wait a minute; DID I see ANY other OxyBlues?...for a trip up Mt. Washington a week ago today for http://minisontop.com/ . Over 200 MINIs up to the top of Mt. Washington! It was a very cool (as in ~40 degrees w/ ~40 mph winds) trip with what turned out to be about zero visibility (as in we were in the cloud created by the mountain). Very different experience than the year before when the weather cleared off just before our ascent. Still, all in all, a great MINI adventure!

Welcome MrsD.!!!! Always room for more of us here; stick around and tell us of your adventures!
Beautiful pics, amberback! My sister (who loves Apple and has been duly trained to love MINIs) will love your MAC MINI play on words / computers / license plates..you get my drift. I love that first pic you posted--the O2B MINI looks so fun in that otherwise somber setting! As for what you'll do without Mindy for a few days...I honestly have no idea. I'd go into withdrawals! (WHAT DID YOU DO?)

My OB/W MINI is starring in another How-To!
Oil Change How-To (R56)
I took all these pictures when I changed the oil the first time at ~1800 miles... and now, at 30,000 miles, I've just gotten around to posting them and adding captions. Hopefully, this can help some other people avoid spending $100+ on dealership oil changes.
Comments/suggestions/constructive criticism on the how-to is encouraged, btw.

No problem... and yeah, I like a refresher every once in a while on oil changes since it's not something you want to screw up.

Long time no post by me,
anyways, got back from MTTS & MITM. Had a great time, and saw two other oxy blue MINIs and one oxy blue classic!
here are two photos; one of the new grill badge we got for atori and another just of the car parked on one of the MTTS/MITM runs In Winter Park Colorado.
Mini takes the states was amazing.

Hey! It has been quiet in here. Did you all go on vacation without me?
Anyways, went to the MTTS stop in Pittsburgh and was excited to see another Oxygen Blue there... till I saw it was just a loaner car from MINI of Sterling! Darn! Poor thing was dirtier than I knew was possible .

Anyway, I saw one other OB MINI on our Tampa-to-Atlanta only trip to MTTS... at the Braves game.

Glad everyone had a Great Time at MTTS and MITM...wish we could have joined you!!
Molly has Officially become a Garage Queen, she's got a New Big Brother as in a 2010 Kia Soul Shadow Dragon SE3!!
I want to try and keep her under 30,000mi. before her 3rd Birthday which is in April and since she has 29,000mi. on her now she'll be garaged as much as possible from now until April.
Except for tomorrow she's going in for a Safety Inspection, Rasmussen MINI is sponsoring a MINI Track Day on the 26th, we are definitely going to that, and this Weekend the PDX MINI Club has a Run going up to the Astoria Maritime Museum, we're going on that too.
I've had to double up on my Detailing Supplies with 2 New Cars it's tough to keep up!!
Glad everyone is doing so well and still Lovin' that O2 Blue!! Also a Big Welcome to MrsD...you are in good company!!

Well, well...lots going on, eh? We have local MINI friends who did MTTS, but we haven't seen hide 'nor hair of 'em yet. Looking forward to pics and stories, but in all honesty, it looks like a bigger event than I'm up for. Glad to hear you had a great time, atori!
RJ--what is this garage queen business? As I read that sentence, I thought you got another MINI, but alas, that's not the case. I hope you have wonderful experience with the Kia, but I'll be waiting to see how long it is before you bust Miss Molly loose and Motor On! I'm (not really intentionally, but because I can't help myself) doing just the opposite.
I'm gearing up for a x-country trip--western NY to my old stomping grounds in the Pacific Northwest--MT, ID, WA, and OR. I've got lots of old friends there and really miss seeing those western landscapes. I'm going to try to stay clear of the interstates, and for once, see parts of the US I've just never had time to see before. Tedscar has over 46,000 miles on it now and I think Ted would want me to go for it!
Still some great Motoing weather ahead of us--have fun everyone!

Oh man, you lead such an exciting life! Ted would be proud! Say hello to the Northwest for me--someday soon I hope to drive my Mini out there for a visit. I think there are some wonderful roads to be traveled.
P.S. There are also wonderful roads in northern New York that wouldn't mind you traveling them again...

Hubby ended up not being able to go on the MINI Run so I took a Fellow MINIac instead, Minicooperwill tagged along and played Navigator for me. I think he enjoyed himself until I skidded into some gravel on the side of the road "Rulin' the Twisties!!"
1 more day until the Rasmussen MINI Sponsored Track Day!! I can't wait, Molly is signed up for the FAST Group, don't ya' know!! WooooHoooo!!
