    Extra nice, just motoring with friends and getting lost together, who could ask for more. Nice to see a bunch of enthusiasts on video. Thanks for sharing.

    In the old days this would be no problem. You could put a gas can on the passenger floor and run a line to the fuel pump.
    Come to think of it this may work you will just have to tap into the return line also. Think how impressed you wife would be! :D

    Bit of a bummer but if’n that’s what it takes to get rain in California and the west coast then they should schedule a few more British car shows.

    The airbag light came on on my MINI, so I brought it to the dealer to clear the code. It turned out to be a bad wire in the driver's seat airbag (In the seat itself). They said that they have to change out the airbag for about $900.00.
    They cleared the code, but if you lean the seatback down the airbag light comes back on. They had no drivers seat airbags in stock and have to order it. I figure that for $900.00 I don't have to lean the seat back. Has anyone here changed out an airbag? What tool is needed to reset an airbag light?

    Lee it looks like your lights are aimed too high. From what I understand it can cause the light to be broken into all its primary colors. ;)

    Well today I took Checkers in for the annual check up on the ceramic coating I had installed. The (life time) warranty requires it. When they looked at the car they said they would wash it and see the condition of the paint was. I told me it was in great shape and didn't need to be reapplied. The wash cost me a lot but they did an unbelievable job. They washed the outside , wheels and vacuumed the inside better than I do.

    Thanks for the pictures. Does the vacuum attachment work well on keeping all the dust sucked away?

    You did a job well done, polishing the engine bay of this car.

    Yes the freeways have become a free for all. Like you said go the speed limit & get run over. As far as cops doing anything, our state patrol will pull an idiot driver over on the interstates out of town. In town no way. The local police don't bother, they are just phoning it in these days. Can't say that I blame them. What a terrible job to have.

    Cars running red lights & stop signs. I see it every time I'm out. So many people looking at their farking phones it's just nuts. Be careful out there.
