i was invited by another Mini owner to attend a British Car show in Jupiter Florida, with this being a 55 mile drive one way, it would be the longest I would drive my Mini one way. Covering 110 miles round trip today she ran like a champ, sadly I no longer have A/C as the condenser sprung a pinhole leak that I noticed while I was there.
I am also still trying to figure out if my oil pressure is real, I just purchased a oil pressure gauge from Amazon that is supposed to be VERY accurate, so I can figure out if my engine is going or my gauge is garbage.
So on to the car show, I have never entered a car show before, I kind of know the routine, my dad was a Corvette club member and used to show his Vettes in all the shows and now shows a 09 Shelby GT-H Mustang in Shows. I am more of a win a trophy for driving them than parking them kind of guy but what the heck lets do this.... I had no delusions of winning anything my truck is in rough shape for car shows but a fantastic driver that I have no issues taking out and working out of.
The Mini's.
I forgot to take a picture of it, this guy had the original window sticker from the sale of his car in England back in the 60's.
