Most liked posts in thread: What did you do to your Mini for MOTD?

Thank you. I went for a ride this morning and noticed that the rear was more settled and the overall balance of the car was better. I guess the tail was "too short" all this time. :lol:

Let see things left for me to do on my MC40 before the Dragon:

Mount and Balance new tires
Fix stone chips in paint
Oil Change
Wash, Clay, Polish and Wax
Check all accesible bolts and nuts are tight to spec.
Tape off front end for the trip down to protect from even more stone chips.

 

Very nice!

 

Clean!!

 

Sooo much better, now all you need to do is Joey Mod your headlights.

 

Dug around behind the driver's kick well and found the elusive fuse to the OEM (dealer installed) driving light wiring. Found it (it was blown) and relocated to a place where the entire car will not have to be dismantled to get to it.

Why on earth do they do silly things like that????????

^^^To get you to make an appointment with the dealer service department....$$$$

 

Well, I fooled them I recon. :lol:

Add front brakes to my list of things done

 

New wheels and tires. Had MINI checked over at the dealer, only thing found was a hole in the wind screen for sunroof. Part ordered at n/c. Picked up beer for beer swap. Just finished claying, glazing and waxing. Done for the weekend :beer

 

The Countrygal is getting stripes, bonnet, boot and roof, and a really good cleaning (1 year olds reek havoc on the interior of cars!) Other than that just a few stickers to apply that I hadn't put on the Clubby before we sold her :'(.

 

WOOOOOT, the wife just ordered me a GoPro Hero II motorsports package for my birthday!!!

Be sure to smile at the Dragon, you could be in the movies.... LOL

 

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :devil:

 

Don't get behind Blimey, in case he tries some off road excursions, like he did year before last.

Happy Birthday, by the way.

Jim

 

Yes, what he said

 

I had a ring side seat to the action, being about 10 feet from his boot when he began his Dukes of Hazzard imitation... choosing not to follow of course...lol

Thanks for the Birthday wishes!!

 

Nice! and have a good B-Day!

 

I'm gonna put new numbers on the General Lee.

 

Following in a new tradition noted above, I will quote myself.

Aux-pump recall is done, oil and filter done, cabin-filter done, 3rd safety check done by me, shop #1 and now the dealer.

Dealer tech who has worked on my MINI since new, noted the new EBC reds and how the DBA4000 rotors are holding up well since he changed them out for me last year.

Ready, now for the fun drive out and back and a few days in NC.
