It’s winter. And that means a dirty car. And lack of car activities. And not much to post on the MINI blog. I hope you’re all still with me!
We’ve had a warmer than usual winter (a few days hitting 60 last week!), and that has really hurt the winter sports. I have managed a few weekends of skiing here and there, long drives resulting in an even dirtier MINI than pictured above. But I have been looking forward all year to Ice Racing, and the warmth has really hurt that as well. Yet again the race has been cancelled because the ice is not thick enough. Combined with my busy schedule, I still have been unable to go yet. I hope there is still a chance left, and if so I will certainly have some great video footage of driving around on a frozen lake!
I’m also midway through testing Aquapel vs. RainX, the results of which will be posted here in a few more weeks. I hope. That’s also very weather dependent, since I need heavy rains to hit at a time when I can drive around so I can shoot the video…and for once, new england weather has not produced much rain.
I would also like to remind you to register for MINIsOnTop. Ian previously posted that the drive to the top is already half full, and we have people coming from states as far away as Illinois! Wyoming!!! See Ian’s update.
I can’t really believe ice racing will happen at all this year – I would expect the average temperature now to be rising, which won’t be any use for making ice on the lakes. Maybe you have to drive up with the Newfoundland trip people 😉
