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

I added miles to my odometer & managed to dodge all the bozo's out on the roads. Incredible stupidity everywhere I went. Missed being in a crash with Mom in her SUV by a few inches. She had no clue I was there, maybe my car is invisible. ut:

 

Way to go Dave, keep that snow at your place. :shovel:

 

I thought you worked FROM home.:confused5: You're always online...you HAVE to be homebound!

 

So a pucker factor of about 9 would be a reasonable guess then, huh Chuck?

 

Yeah, it let loose all at once....missed the outer curb and was sitting looking at traffic that was previously behind me. A bit embarrassing. The dried liquid salt treatment on the road surface didn't do me any favors.

 

Hey Jeff, pull your underwear out from the crack in your a$$. Look up the intersection mentioned and you'll find that it is out in the country without a house or heavy traffic anywhere near it. Sorry Buddy, news flash...I push my car when it is appropriate.

 

Mine gets pulled when broken.

 

What was the pit time for the Old Fart pit crew?

 

Isnt it great when the cops are on your side...

I have invited them to my house quite a bit this year, due to issues with some of the neighbors.

 

Wow, I applaud you on handling this confrontation well.

You are right, lady was wrong to follow your daughter home and good the 3rd person came too as well as called the police. Could have ended poorly for all.

Did the lady exit her car and enter your yard or drive?

People are just to self centered and nuts today. We have enough crap going on around our towns and cities.

Sad!

 

Picked up GIR from the bodyshop, new bumper and front spoiler. Kept the old stuff for Man Cave decor.

 

^^^ that should not cause any odd noises why do you think it's a problem? :lol:

 

Without swapping the OE mounts to some sort of camber plate (IE fixed plates are cheapest) you are going to have that chunk of rubber which will always eventually fail.

 

Got it all dusted off this afternoon so I can take it out in tomorrow morning's pouring rain, to finish the brake job, get an alignment and install a new power steering hose.

I anticipate I'll have to wash it outside in the rain before putting it back in the garage, moping the wet floors after a nice towel dry. The Fireman in me lives!

 

No broken ribs suck!

Driving with them is bad, but sitting on a plane for 10 hours really sucks!

 

Had this installed...


It will take a few days for the clutch foot to learn the new feel of the pedal... but a relatively easy and striaghtforward install.

 

Done. In the 1st Gen section of the boards.

 

After topping up the oil level and driving it for seven miles to get a state inspection, I discovered how messy the engine compartment can get if you forget to replace the filler cap. Man! That sucker flings erl all over the place!
