Dark Silver MCS Convertible
The weather that is! After snow last Friday, we had clear skies and sun, with no nasty winds – nice enough even at 45 degrees to drop the top yesterday (although I wouldn’t do it for a long drive at highway speeds!):
Now today, we’ve had snow again which recently switched over to heavy rain … the top is closed once more 😉
Another 10″-12″ of snow yesterday – driving home was a careful experience, especially after someone I know had an accident on nearby roads … but home safe, and this morning was one of those really nice after-storm days, with clear skies and sun, and no nasty north wind!
The snow was light and easy to clear – and a very nice neighbour had plowed the front of our driveway, making the job much easier … and it turns out that clearing the Convertible is easy too! The cloth roof means no need to be super careful about not scratching the paint!
I spent much of today at MINI of Peabody, getting both MINIs “tech inspected”, chatting with MINI friends, etc. And the sun even shone for a while – although regular snow meant that MoP’s car stock had to be brushed clear (again and again, I imagine!):
The “tech day” was a personalized, one-on-one, inspection of your MINI and a chance to ask questions and discuss concerns; each car was given half an hour which allowed a good check of all the basics … I’m pleased to say both my MINIs passed (report cards for GBMINI#6 and GPMINI):
Oh – and my MINIs were not the only ones there 😉
Gary also very kindly offered to have my AUX input cable installation checked out – it turned out that the head unit was simply not recognizing the cable (I hadn’t got it wrong!), and happily MINI of Peabody had a spare so were able to repair it right then (and clean the car for me – many thanks!)
