Qik, glad you got your Mini back it does look good! Redbeard it going to be a long day! I have done NOTHING with my Minis. I had to leave Sunday. That morning I drove the Helmet to church when I came out I could see very very small sap spots on the car. I didn't have time to wash it (agin) before I put it up. I know what I will be doing when I get home Saturday! I hate sap! Its driving me up the wall knowing it is in the garage with sap on the paint.......I am getting as OCD as Dave.0.:lol:
Drove to work and home again in the 90* heat, temp stayed perfect, right where is should on the gauge! 89 Racing Green Classic Mini.
Dealer low balled my trade-in value. Sold it for way better $ to Carmax. Now I have to see if my bank (luckily same as Carmax) will credit the bank draft same day. Otherwise, I am stuck waiting until Monday to get my car. It was there at the dealer. It had just come back from tint. Looked good. Sales guy started it and let me mess with it. Dang exhaust sounds good for stock. Rumble pop and burble. Ahhhhh!!!! I'm so close.
Good call going to Carmax. When we traded Babs oil burner in on her clubster we got a price from Carmax before heading to the dealer to get her car. Our dealer beat Carmax by a fair bit which to me was quite a surprise. Hang in there, a few more days won't kill you, but it sure will feel like it. Hope you get it today. :fingerscrossed:
What am I doing with my MINI today? I'm climbing on a plane to fly to Austin to pick it up tomorrow morning and drive it home over the weekend! An '05 JCW R53 (my favorite) in Chili Red (new for me, after my low-key PW/PW) with painted arches and the red leather interior.
Holy crap is it amazing to drive. The stock exhaust is awesome. Pops and burbles on downshifts sounds so good on WOT acceration.
Nice! Great way to start the weekend! agranger, its your turn to post some pictures when you get your JCW!
Last week I replaced the fuel pump with a DW uprated pump from Greene Performance. During reinstall, I broke the fuel level float arm. Today, I replaced that arm - yay for a working fuel gauge. In the other R53, noticed a rear caliper dust boot was torn - so replaced that along with new rotors all around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Got home today and there was a letter waiting for me from the DMV. The personal tag for the Helmet will be here the end of the next month. DRKHLMT. Not exactly the same but thats what they gave me. Next will be time to add some more Mods. Some small brake upgrades and this winter.....Meth.
Clear bra and weathertech floor mats. I was considering an exhaust pre-purchase but damn this one sounds great. I'll give it 6 months and see if I still feel that way. Drove to Copperas Cove for a Falling Steel match (sucked badly ) then back home. The drive was fun.
