Joined up with the local Mini Club for a drive out to the back country for pizza. It was a really nice day but is getting downright warm out there; I was surprised that the grass was still green. Midlana did fine, no nonsense or fussiness, but there wasn’t any horsing around either, what with the older Mini’s having around 50 hp or so :). I need to start thinking about a trackday now that the car’s running well on E85. Unfortunately, since the tracks are in the desert, it’s already getting unpleasant out there.
Oh yeah – the trend continues. Got 6 thumbs-ups from sport bike riders, the guys bombing up and down Palomar Mountain dragging their knees and all. Got one thumbs-up from a touring bike, and exactly none from any Harley riders. Hard not to draw conclusions about why…
