Intercollegiate Quidditch. Apparently it’s a thing.

Intercollegiate Quidditch. Yep- It's a thing.

There was an intercollegiate Quidditch Tournament on my campus last week. San Jose, Utah, San Diego…   Mexico?!?  Who knew.

2012 MINI Roadster Photos (finally!)

Finally after approximately two weeks of ownership, the sun comes out long enough to grab a few photos of my new MINI COOPER S ROADSTER with the top down. Now if only I had a real camera…

 


Not too shabby, considering I was at the mercy of the iPhone 4S camera!

SPY CAR II: Son of SPY CAR – Week One Mods

Introducing, Son of SPY CAR!

Before I could even really enjoy it (due to a rainy couple of days) I’ve managed to get a couple low-end mods done already.  Specifically,

• Tinted Windows from Mr. Tint in San Jose, Ca. (they didn’t cut me break, but got the job done in record time, considering it was raining)

• Grill badge holder and rubber floor mats from MINIofStevensCreek.

• Oh and I removed the front plate holder.

Not bad for just under one week of ownership!  More pics and info to come!

The Big Reveal: My New Cooper S Roadster

Not to brag but, I’m pretty good a keeping secrets. I mean, unless you count all those times I swore I would be one of the first people in the U.S. with a Roadster, I’ve been pretty quiet about it. That is, I didn’t mention when I went to the dealer and plopped down my deposit, or when I actually put in the order, OR the two and a half months I waited and tracked its progress from the UK, across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, onto a truck and to my local dealer. Heck, I didn’t even publicly post the photo of my Motoring Advisor handing me the keys. And, it was a full week of ownership before I mentioned it briefly within close circles.

Which leads to my first public post- the “big reveal”, my 2012 MINI Cooper S Roadster Convertible. Don’t hate.

How To Attach Your Patches To Your Jacket – Alternatives to Needle and Thread

I was reading a thread over at ModernVespa.com today about “How To Attach Your Patches To Your Jacket?” Which reminded me of how lazy and/or fickle *I* am, when it came time to affix my club patches, as shown below…
 

Club badge on vinyl fabric...

 

...attached via velcro.

Once again my laziness/obstinace prevails!  Plus, when I get kicked out of the club I won’t have holes in my jackets! ;)
