Yoshi, I've seen your schedule. You've got way too much time on your hands. You need a couple more kids!  And good luck with your 2:00AM bowling appointment tomorrow night. Tillman, I stopped by the Lewisville lube place today and had the oil changed in the MINI. He's working on one MINI which will have 280 HP. YIPES!!! Thx for the tip. | ||

When I was in Milan in last November, I sam Mini all over the city. We stopped by at Mini dealer, and it was a cute car. (they didn't let us test drive as I only had US license. I knew they will say no, but didn't hurt to nego little bit) Some Japanese love this car & has a club, which headquarter is near my parents house. It is small car, but owners insists you can pack 4 adults. It drives like sports car though. Very nimble & dashes off like Taz Devil. I want one, too, but being 6 members in a family, my wife won't let me have 3 toy cars. BobD has good selection of cars at his house. | ||

Tillman, the wheels are at all 4 corners on the MINI and it's a blast to drive. We love ours. Where was that lube-n-tune? Our Mini is ready for its first an oil change and I didn't think any of those places were ready for a MINI yet. I'm sure John Roberts (MINI & BMW dealer) will want $150 for an oil change. If the guy who owns the quick lube has one, I think he can figure it out. Thx! | ||

I stopped by a local lube-n-tune for an oil change today, and got to chatting with the owner of the place. It turns out he's the VP of the local MINI club, and runs a modified Cooper S. He took me for a ride, and I got to tell ya, this thing will eat the 328 in a heartbeat. Really quick, handled like our cars and well packaged. I'm thinking I need to convince Tam to buy one of those when she replaces the Pontiac next year |
