I'm in Glen Ellyn. Do you know Hector or Steve? I don't know their last names but I sometimes run into Steve. Steve's 3L contour caught on fire and Hector had a supercharged 4 cylinder contour. Hector moved to a red evo then a Mazdaspeed 3. I've only met Hector once.
I was using DP Total Interior Cleaner around some tan leather seats when I noticed some tan color on the microfiber towel. I looked at the bottle and I was using Cleanse-All Exterior! Luckily no harm done to the seats. I had grabbed the wrong bottle next to me.
I joined AG in 2011 and have been lurking until now. I now Drive a crystal white pearl 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. I don't have any good pictures of it but this was my CSVT. Sold it a couple years ago due to rust and the fact that finding parts was getting to be difficult. I sure miss the car though...
Klasse act, your username and car history lines up with someone who had a SVT Contour on CEG many years ago. I no longer have my SVT.
If I recall correctly your Mini was green and the Fit was red.
