    That's actually a very true statement (gateway drug). Although I think the car itself is the gateway drug haha

    Yum! I had someone give me duck eggs a couple of weeks ago...so rich and delicious!

    My egg salad tends to vary depending on what I have in my pantry and refrigerator. In its simplest form I just use miracle whip (I avoid mayo whenever possible), mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika. Sometimes I'll put smoked salmon/onions/celery/a tiny bit of bacon in it. My youngest LOVES eggs so I try not to bore her... :)

    If only I could purchase Duck Eggs in 1 or 2 quantity. As a treat now and then they are incredible, a dozen is just to much for one person.

    If she's an adventuresome eater, try making Akoori some time.

    I'd go on, but its a swaybar thread.

    I think we just need to keep a couple ducks around...just 'cause. :D

    I'm down with turning this thread into an egg thread. Swaybars and eggs...kinda has a nice ring to it. ;)

    I think that's great! Things we need in our back yards:

    1) ducks.
    2) a banana tree
    3) let's toss in a fig tree. Love fresh figs and they're pricey.

    :D

    It came out of a checkbook. I expressed the wish to have a pillar mounted gauges to the shop modding the car back then. They happily took my money to construct one from a spare pillar cover and off the shelf generic gauge cups.

    Ah! That makes a lot of sense. I have used Autometer A-pillar gauge pods in several of my previous cars, but I noticed they don't have one for the Mini, which is a crying shame because the fit and finish was always fantastic.
    Oh yeah....sway bar. :p

    Nope not at all. Now when I have done the install I take them all the way out "one at a time" and thread them back in a little bit just so I can have the rear sub frame is as low as I can get it.

    Space to get the old bar out and the new one in is very limited so the more room you can make the better. :Thumbsup:
