But still a total kick to ride!
Out at Cottonwood Cove to do some IT work last week. My folks recently came across what has to be one of the greatest deals of the century in purchasing this craft.
Anyway, it is smokin’ fast and handles like a MINI on the water! I had it up to 51MPH and through it into a turn and it just stuck! Ride was very stable at speed too. Overall, a vehicle I wouldn’t mind having in my driveway.
Except…
I need to pick up some floaties or something for my glasses. That way, when I try to do some cool stunts and get thrown off, my glasses won’t sink to the bottom of the lake.
I’m sure by now you have seen the new contest MINIUSA is doing for owners at the OL. If not:
The hunt begins Tues., Aug. 23rd. It runs for six weeks, ending on Monday, October 3, 2005 at 11:59 pm EST. Each week a new mission will be posted on Tuesdays. Once it’s posted, the clock starts ticking. To complete each mission take a picture of your MINI in front of the target then upload your photo to the Submissions page in the Owners’ Lounge
Week #1 – Your MINI at a diner and here is what I submitted:
I was also out in Nevada last week and happened to be awake at about sunrise after a thunderstorm and was able to snap off a few pictures of that too:
You can check them all out in the gallery
Oh yea, latest podcast is up. Todd, Gabe and I go on about OEM wheels.
…and me without my camera.
My used-to-be normal lunch spot near the beginning of the runway for John Wayne Airport there was a DS/B MCS and CR/B MC enjoying the shade and some downtime.
North on Redhill at Main, another Limited Edition VR/W MC.
Turning from Baker to 55N a BRG/B MCS.
All in the span of less than 20 minutes! Anyone you know?
For those of you that we’re patiently waiting, Woof #5 is up and ready!
Also, I now have in my possesion the high res version of my track run. It’s fantastic! It’s also fantastically huge at over 160mb, so I obviously won’t post it here. As soon as I can get it trimmed down to a respectable level I will have it available.
If you are reading this, don’t worry, the switch has happened successfully.
Thank you
