Josh Wardell’s MINI Cooper S

I’ve been so frustrated being without my MINI this week that I was driven to update my home page! Also I think it was recent links by popular sites like Ian’s sending people to my web site that is so old it doesn’t even link to my MINI, or even my Focus, pages! Plus, after recently completing the Sublime website, I would like to take on some more small business sites. But I can’t do that if my own page is several years out of date now could I?

So viper stripes have been added. Doesn’t that make it faster? 😉 check it out.

I’m now driving a Chevy Cavalier!
POS, but beats the Dodge Neon I had rented last time.

The MINI is in the shop for all its work, and I can’t wait to get it back!
When dropping it off at Sublime, I also got to see Ian’s new roof, along with many badly damaged MINIs. 🙁

I made some small updates to my MINI site over the past week. I re-categorized the mod listings, and added icons to click on for links for more info. I intended to have those icons since starting my site but didn’t get around to pixel-pushing them until last week. 🙂

You may notice my web site is a bit more plain and simple compared to others, but that is done on purpose. First and foremost, the simpler it is, the more compatible it is with browsers and printers (people will want to print out how-to guides). Secondly the simplicity reduces time for me to add or update content. Some of you know how bad I am at updating things that take lots of work, like posting my photos. (Speaking of which I still have to finish those MAMAII pics from October!)

One week till my MINI goes to the shop and is returned to me with new power, new grip, and hopefully nice and clean–I can’t wait!

A few of us met today for lunch, as detailed by Ian.

While we were there the rain changed over to a wet, heavy snow, making it very annoying to check out Ian’s new MINI in the parking lot! The roads were in horrible shape the whole ride back, covered in icy slush. But my traction was noticeably much better due to the tire rotation.

The forecast shows a whopping five sunny days ahead…I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen that so I’ll believe it when I see it!
