Indi Blue MCS with Union Jack roof
Hooray for better weather – with spring “officially” here (even with snow still on the ground), today was warm enough to wash & wax GBMINI. I used Zymol wax which is applied by hand, using “the warmth of your palm to activate the wax” – whatever. It looks good:
Can I really say this on the GBMINI weblog?
First, I love my MINI – great fun to drive, great bunch of friends on MINI2 and elsewhere, great dealership and people at MINI Peabody, etc.
But the Lapis Leather in my MINI Cooper S has never looked as good as the leatherette in my first MINI Cooper, and today I noticed that not only is it very wrinkled but it has actually worn away on the edge of the drivers seat!
I will talk to MINI Peabody next week to see if they can/will do something about it – after just over one year and only 14,000 miles, I don’t think the seats should be worn like this.
For a while now I have been working with Deborah who works at Seniorcare here in Gloucester (the same place that my wife Margaret works); the organisation provides various services to assist elders in staying in their home. Deborah specialises in support of “caregivers”, family members that support their elders.
Deborah loves MINIs and had the idea to combine a drive (like last years MINI Meander) with promotion of caregivers; she asked me to organize the MINIs, which I have been doing on this MINI2 thread.
Now with the date (Sunday April 25) fast approaching, there is more happening – we have Beverly Hospital providing a breakfast, at which some Massachusetts state “significants” will attend. We will of course have MINIs, with their drivers. We have locations to visit (Beverly, Wenham, Hamilton, Topsfield, Essex, Ipswich, Gloucester, Rockport and Manchester-by-the-sea) but I still need to put the exact route together.
And now we have our first media involvement, in the Hamilton Wenham Chronicle:
