I took a break from washing/waxing my JCW and my mum's 328xi (my sister has her MINI right now!) to read MotoringFile. What a pleasant surprise! The new MINI collection is out - the MINI Rooftop Collection.
I can do a quick review based on what I see so far, but an in-depth one will arrive when we get the collection at the dealership (probably in a few months - sad face!)
MINI seems to like updating the previous collection and re-releasing it in monotone colours. They did that with the "pop art" collection last year. A couple bags from last year's MINI 50 Collection are now released with the same print on a similar style, in a monochromatic colour-scheme.
Classic "retro" Mini print wallets with chunky zippers are new for the collection. Also, the luggage is updated wtih more choices - including impressive alloys as the wheels.
The part that really caught my eye are the black Union Jack duffle bags! Those leather (real leather or not?) UJs look SHARP! I can't wait to add this to my collection. Although I can already hear Adam now.... "not more bags!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I gotta motor - I have the West Enders MINI Club meet tonight at MINI Waterloo and I still have to buff the wax off my mum's BMW!
Just a quick update...
Adam and I are home in Canada as of last night and we are both feeling tons better! Instead of going to the hospital, which was miles out of the way, we just motored on through Nebraska and Iowa. Through 2 days STRAIGHT of rain.
I am sorting through photos, videos, and emails along with all of the trinkets and souveniers from this awesome trip!
More to come!
Happy Motoring,

No, my post title is not referring to the end of MTTS!
Rather, how I am feeling right now. For those of you who have seen me the past couple of days, you knew I was fighting off a cold. Yesterday Adam and I drove back up to Red Rocks park and the surrounding roads and found a road called Bliss. That was not the real name, but we felt like we were in heaven. We also got so close to deer I could touch them (but apparently that's not a good idea since they are wild - so I didn't!).
Then my cold turned into something much much worse yesterday. And now we are motoring on our way to the hospital. Good thing I have travel insurance, but it's just awful knowing that our trip is cut short and interrupted.
The last few "live blogs" have been sparse as I konk out at 9pm, without uploading photos. More photos and stories of our adventures will come. I promise. Just not in the timely fashion I hoped!
HAPPY MOTORING

PS To all of those wonderful people I've met on the trip: thank-you for making it spectacular! Our opportunities to connect made for a more personalized experience. I can't wait to see all of you again soon!
Kinsley, Kansas
1,561 miles to New York OR 1,561 miles to San Francisco!
We might as well keep driving since we are halfway across the country, right?
This is an accidental photo. I took a pic of me infront of the sign and ended up capturing Adam, the pilot, AND STELLA! AND the sign!
Self portraits FTW!
More photos from the trip to Dodge City are on my Flickr and we have tonight's photos from the cool event at Boot Hill!
Time to rest up for Denver tomorrow!!
Happy motoring,
