when ya say ya seen my mini around did,do ya mean you see it spinning around on the ice and snow? :shock: cause i tell ya its not an easy task trying to get the good car up over an ice covered hill at minis 7 degrees at about half 4 in the morning,even harder when you hav to bring your brother who's as full as a bingo bus home from stephens nite.And hes the co-driver trying to giv ya pace notes

"and 100 into 4 right tightens to 3 right opens,slippy"

keep her at it says he
