Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

Thanks. The wife really liked it, but at the time she had 2 SLK's and the mini and couldn't drive it anymore so it needed to go.

 

Sharp car. How long did you own it ??

 

That is clean looking Mini. I’d love to get my hands on something like that.

You did a very nice job on it.

 

Lets face it. All car are a never ending project. There's always something you want to make better.

 

Got ‘er done, mainly.
Took all of yesterday (Monday) and half of
Sunday and half of today.
This is a staycation week for me.

Drilled through the bolt (actually mostly
just outside of the bolt as I had a very
hard time keeping the hole centered on the bolt, then tapped the hole and put a new
stud in (that took a good part of this am).
A 90 degree drill adapter was crucial for this
since I didn’t put it in service mode and
spacing was too tight for a drill otherwise.

Got it all together (except for the front upper
and lower heat shields and the top oxygen
sensor bracket to the tensioner) and refilled
and bled the coolant and topped off the oil
and it appears to be running soundly without
leaks or new noises or codes.

Still have a bunch of tools to sort and put
away, but none of the remaining stuff is urgent.

When I was done, someone had parked less
then 2 feet behind me, and I have 3 foot 2-piece
Race Ramps, so just when I figured I could
back up a little more then halfway down, set the
Ebrake hard, and use reverse to slide the
ramps forward out from under me (hold my beer
and watch this), he left.

 

Good to hear everything went well and you’re back on the road …. even it is with a thinner wallet.

 

Mmmmmmm ….. less than the price of a new 4x4. You’re showing your age as new 4x4 trucks can easily go for upper five to six figures.

 

It's a great looking car, but at that price I'd think twice about driving it on back roads or not.

 

Which size ??

 

Bungee cord ... new garage ... bungee cord .... new garage ... mmm I’m just not feeling this wrap your car in bungee cord thing.

 

What! The Helmet is outside?

 

This is not about my MINI but yet it is. I took my MINI to a repair shop a couple of months ago to have a few things done and they did a good job. So i thought I'd try them with the wife's car (SLK350) . I picked up the car yesterday and they seemed to have done a good job except all the paper work say it's the MINI not the wife's car. You would think they would know the difference.

 

Is that for use with a powa warsher? I have one that goes on the hose, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

 

Looks like it does a nice job but sometimes looks can be deceiving. Does it really help with the washing your car ??
