    Got home and there was a box from eMiniparts waiting on me!


    Can anyone guess what I'm taking off my MINI?

    Packed up my whole family plus gear and watched our little green belt at sparring practice. She's the one in blue. :)

    Took a spin in the Classic to see if that wheel balancing did the trick. I'd say so, all the way up to a sustained 80+. That'll work just fine! :D

    Indeed. However, we have had our share of Auto Meter failures in the race car. Mostly with the needle falling off of the tach. In which case, shift lights are bliss...

    Really nice drive up to FT. Collins today to see the summer trial Flower gardens at CSU. Pictures later.

    Pat, Pup and Countryman enjoyed the drive and exercise. I did manage to stop by 2nd Amendment Gun Shop in Loveland on the way up, needed more time to browse a very nice shop. Owner is a top end gunsmith with reasonable fees.

    Picture or two later.

    Pick up set of the Powerflex Polly ones. The rubber OEM ones will just fail again and again and again.

    Chad at Detroit Tuned has them: http://www.detroittuned.com/powerflex-front-control-arm-bushings-gen-2/

    I just sent a paypal transaction through to renew as a supporting member (year 2). Also sent a PM to Nathan letting him know my real name so he won't wonder who sent money.

    What? You think I would let you all know my real name? :eek6:

    You're not driving your car enough. Maybe you should get an F56 for your commutes and keep your R53 for real motoring.

    I ordered a header and some 450cc injectors from Jan @ RMW. My girl gets some more go-fast parts, and is in store for a dyno tune at the end of next month. :devil:

    So after adding 2 gallons of 110 to the Mini, I took my demented (I'm feeling kind today) brother-in-law for a ride. Scared the dung out'a him, felt good about it, then headed back home.

    Total time... less than 15 minutes.

    Funny, we were talking about the Dragon tonight while we each took turns washing our MINIS and looking at vacation rentals in Robbinsville!!!! Hoping to get another pre-Dragon excursion in the Tennessee area on the way in, that was way fun. Its only 32 weeks, right???:crazy:
