Hi Alan & Trelo,

Yep, I was on the move to the Direct Factory Outlet to find a shirt (which I kinda did) and then off to Paddington on the same mission. Just managed to nose ahead of an RX8 off the lights which made my day coming back along Broadway. He was P*SSED OFF believe me!! Gettin' excited about EC tomorrow. Still got stock tyres and suspension setup but that will change...

Everytime I go for drive ya just never know what sort of adventure ya gonna have. Probably about 1/2 the Mini drivers that you see (if they see you) give ya a nod or a wave still.

BMW E36 M3R Alpine White - Engine : 6 cylinder; DOHC 24 valve Capacity : 2990cc Power : 243KW @ 7000 rpm Torque : 323NM @ 3900rpm Produced : Jan - May 1995 How many :15 ONLY

Look forward to seeing you Alan tomorrow morning!

It's gonna hurt too much to leave him behind tomorrow. So I will have him with in the car (as usual) and it is actually quiet safe. He sits between my right leg and the scalloped out part of the door with his legs in the shelf. However, the scrutineers may have other ideas .. Do you know whether you can bring pets to EC?

I spotted a couple of classic Minis yesterday, but my boss who test drove a new Cooper reckons she saw stacks of new MINIs on Canberras roads yesterday.

I know ... it's a very confusing ad though ... I think someone is taking the mickey ... check the interior pics, that doesn't look like a CVT gear stick.
