    Get that chip fixed, it'll keep the windshield from cracking.

    Theres 5 good ones, and the rest looks like I follow gravel trucks for a living! It needs replaced not just filled. ;)

    The paint on the hood is also seeing a good bit of abuse, but I know a guy... :p

    Interesting... T6 in the N18, eh?

    I've given some thought to it myself.

    Yep, and it runs quieter and smoother with it than whatever MINI dumps in... Plus its cheap! (Less than $30 for 5 quarts at WallyWorld!)
    I am also using it in the R53 now too... :D

    Yay! Porkies first campin' trip!

    Just outside of Red Cliff CO (think Leadville) and far from the friggin city dwellers!

    [​IMG]

    However, I am posting on the internet, so I would normally say its not far enough!
    It is the first time having the Porker up in the sticks away from blacktop though. From what I have found so far, the R60 is NOT a rock crawler! The clutch at low speed over rougher terrain is a nightmare! It also SUCKS (my name) in a little bit of soft gooey mud... The ALL4 system doesnt know what to do with it... Other than that, it's smooth, quiet, and mostly comfortable.
    Space was a bit of an issue, but if I ever get that roof rack strengthened up, painted, and assembled, that solves that! It took about half a tank to get the 150 or so miles up here (haulin' up I-70) so thats not bad either...

    Well I have to get a fire pit built, wood collected, and find some sort of little critter to eat! Stay tuned for updates throughout the weekend, happy fathers day eve!

    I keep telling myself that jealousy is a bad emotion...but when I see pic's like that, it's hard...

    How's the NC place coming?

    I'm rethinking stuff on NC right now, if I go down there now and buy a place that is established as a vacation rental, I could be retired in 10 years with no debt. But I would have to live here until the rental house is payed for.

    Nothing better than being able to escape reality with all those handheld friends! Have a great weekend.

    I do not camp anymore, but this makes the senior dude think about it. I hope that is a 10mm for the Brown Bears up near you this weekend.

    Don't leave any food out. A beer would be OK, they don't drink much.

    Enjoy. Don

    When I was a kid, I asked my Dad why we didn't ever go camping.

    He said, "I camped enough in the army."

    The Porker might be getting some new paint stuff done tomorrow...

    I should really start a thread for all the other paint stuff I have going on these days... Just dont want the head cheese to take it as advertising though.

    Oh and I forgot to update... The pink tail lights where installed on their respective R60 in less than 24 hours of being painted... I even did the install while the owner was in a MITM meeting.

    Yes, he did, I even watched him come in and steal the key, but I wondered what MOL thought of the guy ripping into the Countryman out back. :) :)

    Funny thing was, she parked in the back section of the new cars... Customers were walking around and saw me taking the lights out, then walked by like they didn't see anything...
    But the salesman once I got everything buttoned back up was priceless...

    Here I am, some random guy in a goofy hat carrying a set of taillights away from a line of brand new R60's, the look he gave me was priceless! Then he asked what I was doing, so I told him "Just swapping out taillights for a friend". It took him a few minutes to realize that not all the R60's on that line were for sale... Luckily I got out of there without being in handcuffs!

    Especially since you just look like you "belong" in handcuffs.
