It's a weird feeling to actually have new paint on the Mini after 3 years...

It's my party. And I'll lie on the couch if I want to. I'm old and it's cold out!

I keep hearing about frosty mornings in the UK...it's -35C this morning here with the wind. Does that count? :)

Yay! Sold the extra car in the driveway with a minimum of tire kickers, complainers, and emails offering 70% below the asking price!

Just missed a lycra-clad cyclist who cut across an intersection illegally while I was turning today. When I tapped the horn he flipped me the bird and proceeded to start yelling at me. All I could make out was "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, TOUGH GUY?" Awesome. Next time I won't hit my brakes and we can see who wins in the collision. >:(

    It's well known that lycra-clading gives super hero type powers and resists all but kryptonite

    Seems to be alot of cyclists like this in Cornwall at the minute, most them in the middle of busy national speedlimit lanes.

There's a '58 Bedford CA van for sale over here in Ontario. There any following with them? Pretty oddball-looking. Can I drop a big engine in one? circle waterbed in the back?

Will the older piano-hinged rear quarter windows fit a newer shell?
