I’ve had my cousin visiting from Exeter, England, for the last two weeks and she’s seen a whole lot more of SoCal than I expected she might. One of those things was a spur of the moment outing yesterday in the MINI – to the sand dunes of Glamis. The wind was blowing pretty good, I think we both ate our fair share of sand but I did snap this picture of my MINI against the dunes as backdrop.

The Light That Cried Wolf
Got my tyres rotated and balanced this evening and, naturally, the flat tyre warning light came on after a while. I was expecting it shortly after I hit the road and I’d given up waiting for it when it actually did. Both in this MINI and the last one, this warning seems to occur pretty often and most of the time I totally ignore it.
In fact it came on Monday morning when I left home for San Diego and I did stop to take a look. I saw nothing to cause alarm and continued, remembering that just outside the house the tyres and slipped a bit on some oil or something.
One day though I probably will get a flat and keep on going, that’s the trouble with a warning that comes on too much.
On a side note, there seems to be a definite pulling to the left tendency after the tyre rotate, maybe time for an alignment.
I Got Nothing
Nothing to see here, but while uploading some pictures from last night’s bbq with my English cousin I noticed I was wearing one of my TwistyBitz t-shirts so thought I would post. I’ll try to think of something to say later.
