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

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:

 

Parked outside to take advantage of the free gravity wash today.

 

Time to use those little hands to clean the hard to get areas. :idea::ihih::lol:

Yep its an M7 Interwarmer, nothing good to say about it other than... I have a stock I/C now!

 

"did the Dodo"

That what the kids are calling it these days?

 

In a few minutes mine will be magically transformed from fun mobile into grocery getter. I don't like relegating her to such mundane chores, but I sold my pickemup truck last month and my son's borrowing the Suburban for the next couple of months. I hate grocery shopping, but I'm out of beer and snacks. I'm holding off scraping the bugs off her until I install my new wheels next week.

 

HaHaHa... Griots, that's just not as funny as Dodo. :lol:
Your ride looks real nice though!!!

 

So were you listening to The Sultans of Swing whilst you applied your Basics of Bling??

 

Strut braces, well IMO the MINI has a pretty stiff structure as is. That being said adding something that may add more rigidity isn't a bad thing. My MINI has one, but to tell the truth you'll benefit more from a rear sway bar than a strut brace. If you have enough bucks buy both.

 

Not so much what I did to either Mini today, as much as it is what I added to the Toy Hauler.

While we've proudly displayed our M/A sticker and other sanctioning bodies for the past couple of years, I finally got to add the track graphics for Mid Ohio and Sears Point.

Can you name the five tracks on the window?

 

And on a second note, you know how Minis and their owners are, neither can pass up an opportunity for a photo op...

 

I parked my MINI outside so it can get rained on. (Wax test)

Plus I have a friend bringing his 02 S over for a two day spa session in my garage today.

Full detail on a silver MINI with a huge Black roof (No Sunroof) and it lives outside 24/7.

Time to turn back the clock with some major paint correction, maybe wet sanding, buffing and sealant / wax. It will look 2002 new or better when I am done.

 

Soo...can I just like send you my MINI for the winter, come back around early April to pick it up all clean and looking dapper.

Thanks..I know the address. I can find it.

 

That sounds kinda personal. Thanks for sharing.

 

Discount Tire FTW!

Went over to the good folks at Discount tire, had the tires on the Blu one flipped on the rims balanced & rotated all in 35 minutes! Now they are quiet & oh so smooth.




Took Skooby there next, balance & rotation in 30 minutes, once again smooth. Man the Discount Tire crew does good work. Plus it was all free!

 

Took the r53 to my dads to drop off my new to me snow tires/wheels. Don't need to mount them for a month or so yet. Then chased him in his 996 as we went out to lunch this afternoon.

 

^^^ :lol: always a comedian in the crowd, isn't there..? :nonod:

 

Its been getting cold here and I don't want to get stuck on my Dunlops in the cold weather. I will save that tread for the Dragon. :ihih:
Plus my bones are old and I hate working on my car in the cold.
