At Saturdays Burning MINIs, the famous Ed (MaxaMINI on MINI2) did his normal party trick of installing a duck on everyones MINI antenna; he also reminded me of the red/black duck he had sent me a while back, to match GBMINI#3; so today I installed it on GBMINI#3:
Red with a black top, just like GBMINI#3 … maybe I should try painting stripes down his front 😉
(no, we did not burn any – but we did burn a duck)
Inspired by Burning Man, Judy & Tony invited MINIs to join them for a drive from their home in Haverhill to Newburyport and back, followed by BBQ, fire and drums!
Although the weather was supposed to rain, we once again beat the odds and enjoyed dry skies and some sunshine … we also visited Llamas!
The roads were quiet and beautiful now that leaves have returned to the trees:
When we reached Newburyport, we parked by the boardwalk & headed off for lunch:
On the way back, we stopped lake side, and Steve demonstrated the noisy power of Stryker:
Then we headed to a school, to enjoy the view, and enjoy the play facilities!
Finally we returned to our start point, collecting a few MINI mirror shots on the way!
Back at Judy & Tonys farm, the fire was built and finally lit:
I headed down to MINI Peabody today to get rally lights installed on GBMINI#3 – if they had been installed before the bonnet stripes, they would have needed to be removed again, so I had to wait, till now:
Todd also installed the euro shelf for me in place of the knee bolster, since it has to be removed anyway during the install, and I switched the stock rally light relay for my improved one.
Thank you Todd for a great job, and thank you Gary for “squeezing me in” …
