    Flatbed to Main Street MINIs, Ventura, CA
    Cracked crankshaft pulley and other stuff. Stayed off the road again for months, worrying about the expense
    Set aside some funds when I retired to get it fixed and get R56 MCS Big Brake Upgrade, New 17' wheels and tires, and get the convertible top fixed.
    MINI Dealer wouldn't fix the top. Parts obsolete. Finally brought it to Edmund at MINI World in 2026.

    Lunch Laps
    (Bemused, but not chagrinned: I got black-flagged twice - by the self-appointed "lap leader" - in a 10-minute session!
    Once for passing the "leader" and the second for going fast on the track!)
    (I guess Wicks didn't hold it against me because the following year at AMVIV, he asked me to deliver his Racecar to SoCal!)
