		<title>Blog Moving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve integrated MINI-related posts into my general blog-please update your links and RSS feeds! Clearly the frequency of posting here has dropped due to less time, less MINI-activity, and nothing much new in general. Instead of monitoring this page, you can instead watch my general blog. Understandably, you may not be interested in my photography [...]]]></description>

		<title>100,000 Miles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

On the way home from MINIsOnTop this past Sunday, my MINI finally hit 100,000 miles! (You may have spotted it at the end of the MOT video) It&#8217;s hard to believe that I&#8217;ve owned it for over six years. The MINI was my daily driver for the majority of that time, through every season and [...]]]></description>

		<title>MINIsOnTop 2010 &#8211; Video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Another successful MINIsOnTop this weekend, where we were long overdue for some nasty weather like 2004. Visibility was almost zero, winds gusting to 60mph, wind chills at freezing (and I was in shorts). When I was affixing all the past MOT clings to my mini last week, I realized this is now my 7th MOT!

		<title>MOP Coming Soon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

While driving in Peabody this weekend, I noticed a &#8220;Coming Soon&#8221; sign for the new site of MINI of Peabody, and demolition of the existing property has already begun, so I stopped to snap a photo (above-click for larger).

It is right next to BMW of Peabody, directly across from the Northshore Mall on 114. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>MINIsOnTop 2009 Pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I promised in the original MOT post that I would let you know when my pictures are posted. Sorry for the very long wait, but the gallery is now fully online. Thanks to the amazing clouds, sunset, and rainbows, there are some spectacular photos from this summer. Perhaps they will help warm you up from [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of a Lease</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Two weeks ago, we turned in Sam&#8217;s Cooper, at the end of its 3-year lease. Despite it being her car and without the bells and whistles of my MINI, I ended up driving it quite a bit. With my MINI&#8217;s milage approaching 100k, in the last year I&#8217;ve relegated it to commuting only, and drove [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fuel Grade and Fuel Economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month I mistakenly put regular 87-octane gas in my MINI for the first time ever. It gave me the opportunity to learn firsthand why Premium gas is actually the cheapest.

At the end of my mind-nummingly long commute, I stopped for gas just before home. The first pump was not responding, so I moved [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greasy Maintenance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I headed over to Greasy&#8217;s Garage this morning to finally get a long list of overdue preventative maintenance done on the MINI. Good MINI friends just opened the shop a few months ago out in Worcester and the good company alone is worth the trip, as well as the experience of working on hundreds of [...]]]></description>

		<title>MINIsOnTop 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s amazing to think this was my 6th MINIsOnTop, our annual gathering in New Hampshire and ascent up Mt. Washington. As usual the weather was iffy with rain showers and thunderstorms moving in and out of the area, but luck was very much in our favor. Not only did we see plenty of sun, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

We had some record-breaking temperatures this past week as pictured here, in fact the OBC continued up to 97 degrees while driving on the highway! With the weekend in the 80s I was able to do some of my usual spring cleaning much earlier than usual.


Actually things started a full week ago when I got [...]]]></description>
