Oooh shiny..! What's with the pads under the wheels..? They didn't want you messing up the floor? Did you have to drive along strips of the stuff that were then cut away..?

Derek, at least you knew the pronuciation and didn't spell it 'Edinberg' If he's going to Taunton, get him to bring back clotted cream... Mmmmm..! Might be a bit difficult to get past the sniffer dogs at Logan baggage claim though..!

I'm picturing Annemanettee drooling at the mouth with any mention of chocolate, with only Big Red to try to take her mind off it... Did the care package arrive yet..?

Nope, didn't have to drive over a protective covering all the way in. I'm not sure why the carpet squares were required under the tires while the cars were sitting, but they were.

Lots of other requirements too... 1/2 tank of gas or less, battery disconnected and the battery terminal covered in electrical tape, gas cap locked or taped over, no using Armor All in the mall, no waxing in the mall... I think that's about it.

We had to push the cars into / out of the mall. The guy with the Viper (bought totalled and in the process of rebuilding it) forgot his keys Sunday when he came to pick up the car, so we had to wait about an hour while he went back home to get the keys and come back. There's no way to push the thing out of the mall with the steering wheel locked.

It's not like the movies...!.. people like to think the govt has capabilities that are advertised in the movies.. we can sort of trinagulate coordinates, but that's like down to the are within 3 cell towers.. that's a lot of ground are to try and cover..


BTW.. anyone looking for an S motor?..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mini-...43493926QQrdZ1

all that talk about people having car issues made me remeber this listing (which will probably get yanked as soon as the moderators are tipped of to it.. )

No goodies yet. Good thing Grandma gave me a bag of Ghirardelli's to hold me over.

Really real..? Like in a fridge..? The one near me has jars of clotted cream, but it's not as good as the real thing, like fresh milk vs UHT milk.
Derek, they tend to frown on fresh produce, especially dairy... Mad cow, foot & mouth and now TB mean that British dairy products are rather frowned upon..!
