Congrats on your new Roadster.

This thread's been a little slow lately, therefore let me do my part. Just a subset of our crop of local Iowa R59s...

Looks like a reunion of Chili Red r59's, right? Guess my Pepper White with Chili Red stripe doesn't qualify! Just kidding. Where was this picture taken?

Congrats! Didn't realized they changed the grill design. Big improvement, IMHO.

Pretty much...
Sadly, it doesn't leave a lot of money for all the fun stuff I wanted to get for the MINI.

Lots of fun times at MINIs in Foliage. Here we are on the ferry from Fort Ticonderoga to Vermont.

We had an awesome time crossing the lake near sunset time.
Great you could be there as well nice lake!!! better than Erie and Ontario.

After a 10-day, 2,400 mile MINI adventure to the Appalachians, there is really only one way to get those wheels acceptably clean again...

Might as well have asked me if I have any Grey Poupon...

[...the answer? "But, of course." ]

Had some morning sunshine for the 1st day of December, so I used a few minutes of it to clean out under the spoiler. That little compartment is a dust magnet. Temperature was a balmy 33 degrees.

First time I've actually deployed the wing manually.

lol, I have mine up all the time to wash under it. make sure the drains dont clog up with leaves and needles, just clean the traps. If you get good a stop light you can wave with your rear wing to the people behind you.
