I wonder if they make menthol cigars.....

Yup no pressure because the slave has failed. No pressure you can not put the car into gear. Try pumping it and maybe you will get a little pressure to get into second gear.

I drove mine 5 1/2 miles to the dealer in 2nd to get the part replaced.
Drive up to speed, push in clutch and coast, then when you get down to 20 mph or so let out clutch and get back up to speed. Do not take it out of gear.

 

That's an OK cigar, but NOT a great one. It is an expensive, overly-priced stick. The are many better-tasting and less expensive cigars by Arturo Fuente out there.

I found 2 La Aurora Principe menta [mint] cigars for you to try. They are medium in flavor and actually are not as sickening sweet as the ACID and Natural lines by Drew Estate. If you decide you want something stronger, I'll let you test drive one of the Camacho 10th Anniversarys! I have lots of strong cigars, but am trying to keep the "Tenth Anniversary of the Cigar Salon" theme with the 10th Anniversary cigars I will be handing out.

 

Actually, my world consists of my family, my friends, my dog, my MINIs and my cigars. Trusting me is a scary thought, insofaras my trying to find a cigar you will want to smoke because you are not a cigar smoker.

I've smoked a ton of those Mentas and had thought I had finished them. When you started talking about menthol flavors, I was hoping that the box of La Auroras I have was the Menta [the closest thing I have to a menthol], but they are Vanilla. Well, crap, I thought, and was moving some other cigars around when two of the Mentas fell out from behind some other cigars. They are the only Mentas I have left, and they are yours. They come already sealed in an aluminum/plastic wrapper, so they are somewhat fresh forever, and one end is cut so all you have to do is to light it up and enjoy the ride. You can still buy them if you decide you like them. There always seems to be a good market for them and they often sell out quickly. They have a lot of flavor offerings and my second choice would be the Vanilla, but the Menta was always my favorite because I had never seen it offered anywhere else.

 

Thanks man, is it time to leave for the Dragon yet! I am starting to get twitchy I am so excited to go this year.

 

Well I would rather have JAN tune my car then have Way just flash a basic JCW tune he calls "custom" or flash a canned tune he "acquired" from another real tuner.

Blanket "Bench" tuning without the car on a Dyno is not tuning, it's guessing.

You have to have a car on a Dyno to see and pull the data to see the actual values of a running car because every car is different. This is how a real tuner adjusts and custom tunes a car.

 

I would still spend my money with Jan and have proven results and support if I add more mods.

 

I agree. I didn't have as many options way back when I got the Bluefin many years ago, though.

 

I am in the process of getting a full setup for my build through Jan @RMW.

Going with anyone else is like having a ukulele and thinking you're playing a guitar...!

 

Replace the cars battery.

 

I had Way [waymotorworks.com] do mine and am really happy with them. One is on an '06 MCSa and the other is on an '03 Cooper cvt. I am considering having him do one on my wife's '06 MCSa, too

 

oops

 

Way's (WMW) canned tunes are not custom tunes they are just standard JCW flashes and some of them are really just copies of Jan's tunes from when they had a fallout long ago. (Pre gen 2)
Way is not a custom tuner period, sorry but it's the truth.

 

What's the car doing? Give a little more to go on.....
