    Finally put on the 15% pulley! Next it needs an oil change and wash. Unfortunately I had to go to work. Didn't even get the weeds cut. I guess I will keep working on the dandelion garden.

    If your Mini has weeds, you need to do some serious detailing.

    I'd think beer would have to be at the top of the list, but after rethinking it, ya don't want it gett'n warm while ya do all that other stuff.

    So, good choice in priority Dave! :beer

    When it came time to start packing it reminded me how much I dislike the storage well in the boot.

    I like the idea of the boot box but not the cost. Decided to make my own. Of coure I started to overthink it but then I figured all I really needed was a cover for the well.

    Went to the craft store and got one of these poster boards.

    A little measuring and cutting

    Some foam padding to hold everything in place

    and bingo. cover completed.

    I picked up a New-in-box 22mm swaybar from someone here locally last night for $100. Spent the evening in the garage installing. Can't wait for a test drive. :smile5:
