Went to Eats and Treats for Ice Cream.  Got more attention then the death star lexus SUV next to me.  Last week's fixes seem to have eliminated two bad noises and the water temp is behaving...... Bennett's and Apple Fritters tomorrow....

Drove the Moke about 450 miles at the CMU event and just did another 400 plus miles at the Moken around Florida event.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

YESSSSSS!!!!
Okay, it was only around town doing errands, but it is a perfect fall day, 17 deg.C clear blue sky and light traffic.
BONUS: it was mild enough today I was able to wash the Mini, which was dusty from home renovations.

Hello Whee .  This is Tomrosewood . I pick up the Mini in Vancouver on the 18th. Fly there and drive it back to Sacramento. Seller sounds like a great person and maybe I found a new friend as well as a great car. You said you might have some tips about what I need to cross the border. I'm taking my dealers plate and info. looking for a battery operated hair drier for a defog situation. No radio so I have to take alternative music source. Tool bag for sure. 
Tom

I had thought that the height and the red paint would have been a hint. Then I realized the version I uploaded was too dark to see the red paint, which made it way too hard.


It was taken from the top window of this vehicle.

It's a trick question! You got 3 correct, but only 2 of them are British. What's the 4th vehicle in the picture? As a hint, the picture is being taken from inside that 4th vehicle...
land rover?
Nope!
