Cooper Stripes
Why do they have names like boats? or famous diamonds...
This is purely superficial, it is for the joy and happiness this little car brings for me. A selfish, male, materialistic, hormonal vomiting for my senses. I am reluctant to share, because I am taking a risk to expose the intensity of my feelings as a joy and a sickness.
This weekend April 26th and 27th
Decided to go to the skagit tulip rally on Saturday, and the Jeffco expo Sunday, hope to see lots of British metal.
Consumer reports recommends the 08 Mini Cooper Conv.
Consumer reports has recommended the 08 Mini Cooper Convertible, thay haven’t sent me one to test yet, I don’t believe I would like it as good as my Lillibeth. Probably would be a cat fight, I wouldn’t want to see Lillibeth kick ass on the younger more overweight Mini. I know she would be jealous, but I would still sneak a snog if BMW asked me to take a ragtop for a spin……….just please don’t tell on me.Neglected blog
Sorry I’ve neglected this blog for so long, I think it’s probably a seasonal thing please expect that dear reader, I suppose I may have a reader or two? don’t really know with tumblr, but that’s it’s charm, I’m never really writing for an audience, just spewing thoughts tainted with oil that’s driped in my eyes from several leaks caused by faulty british sealing material (I think they use linen for gaskets?)Idea for a show?
There are so many motoring shows now, horsepower being one of my favorites, I’ve never seen a British classic car show from the US perspective , I do love TopGear but it’s mostly about modern cars. I was thinking more of a show on the frustrations a US british car owner goes through while working on, driving, getting parts for, and mocking, lots of mocking, British engineering. The love we have for British automobile concepts, or at least their delusions of grandeur, did I mention mocking?
Consider an overweight Mr. Bean with an anger management problem and that could be me in my mini. Would anyone watch me lose it as I changed the oil, or tried to install my electric door locks? I could throw wrenches (I do) or swear, cry and then apologize to that little British bitch I love. An American British car owner is dysfunctional at best.

Jeffco Expo
Next weekend is the Jefferson County Expo, there is a car show, weather permitting I’ll take Lillibeth. If the weather is like it is now I’ll need a 4x4. The previous pics are a testament to what’s going on, next week it may be in the 70’s. I hope so, a mini is very short, it leaves a trail in deep snow they are easy to track.http://www.jeffcofairgrounds.com/expo.htm
