    A glorious day to be alive, spending time with my wife, driving on the back roads in the MINI.... Doesn't get much better than this...

    It’s always a relief when I pass and don’t have to go back for two years.

    Ok guys I need some help with a problem I have. I'm trying to make some changes in the engine compartment. I was going to have the valve cover power coated, but they tell me I can't because it would melt. So what do you think I can do? I have other ideas but right now this one is my biggest problem. I have seen other cars with valve covers of different colors.

    I believe I like the red intercooler boots better.

    They tell you how easy it is to do banking etc. online but somehow fail to understand how frustrating and aggravating it becomes when the system doesn’t work correctly.

    I've been down tinkering with the Mini and took off the intercooler for polishing. Does anyone know a good and easy way to reinstall it? It's a real bit** to get it back on.
