Dave is it possible that the timing cover flanges that bolt it on are warped? I know it isn't a GTI, but GTI's suffer from reusing the timing...

The same is happening here. Used to be 30 seconds to the country & now it's 10 minutes. Still not bad, but every year they build more...

As often as I could. I'd be touring the beautiful back roads as long as my health let me. ;)

I absolutely agree with you caseydog. Cars sitting around is hard on them. For me staring at a garage queen is pointless. For other's it's great....

Today I replaced a burnt out eyeball in Skooby the clubster. First time I'd ever had to replace an HID bulb. Really wasn't bad, maybe a bit...

Thanks for the answer. I'd guess the sensors they mean are O2 sensors. When RTV gasket goo first came out it killed O2 sensors. Not sure how, but...

Is that stuff oxygen sensor safe? Doesn't matter for a LBC but does for a modern ride.

Good job Dave! Ready to get out & do some driving. Enjoy the ride!

At least it isn't a whitworth bolt. ;)

This didn't happen today, it was sometime last week. Skooby the clubster turned over 100,000 miles. :D I noticed today as I was driving to the old...

No oil leaking? Is there oil in there? Sorry Dave couldn't help myself. Now that it's done take a break & have a beer & a cheeze whiz samich. ;)

While I have great respect for Pat Moss & her motorsport accomplishments I see this as cash grab by MINI. I remember reading about Pat Moss. She...

Keep using your MAC. Sorry I am a complete luddite when it comes to confusers. My PC is chugging along, but when it finally gives up the ghost mac...

That train has left the station. It was a hard transition to go to the GTI, but now I'd never go back. If I feel the need for a MINI fix I'll take...

Supposed to rain a bunch here tomorrow & Monday. I'll be parking Skooby the clubster outside for a mother nature wash. :)

That car makes me miss my MINI. That there is one beautiful car. It will be tough not bidding on it for old time sake. Hope it gets a good home...

Thank you Lee! The GTI site I belong to also gets a lot of spammers. Don't click any of the links they post. I can only imagine what would...
