    Yesterday... for the first time in two weeks, I drove it. All better after it's stay at the Helix MINI spa. It was getting fixed up after I ran over a giant piece of cast iron that was lying on the road.

    Still waiting for my replacement VibraTechnics lower motor mount to come in, due supply lag. I forgot how much vibration was transmitted to the cabin with those BSH bricks of aluminum. Can't wait for that POS to go back on the Helix "reserve shelf."

    Ordered the 215 45 R17 Dunlop Direzza Z2 Star Specs from Tire Rack using the MOTD sponsor link. Tires are shipping to Helix for La Mosa's 3/9 date with Eric and the Helix team for the enhancements.

    Whenever you have 1300 miles each way of Cessna sized bugs to fight through, a detail makes little to no difference. :(

    Maybe by my SP time the change oil light in the Porker will go off, and I can get a freebie before I head out. :) I already changed it twice, and still no light at 7000 miles... Really, I dont trust a synthetic concoction made to mimic critters that went extinct millions of years ago that much. ;)

    I walked down stairs to my desk to work. Went out into the garage for a smoke looked at my clean and warm MINI and opened the door to well over 5 inch's of snow. It still snowing and I have shoveled the driveway 4 times.:shovel:

    We have a good foot of snow right now and it's still snowing. It's nice to work from home. :wink:

    If I get a whole cardboard box and a couple blankets, I won't need to keep the house.
    More money for the MINI!

    Firebro...That is quite possibly the hardest piece of an R53/50/52 to find! I have only ever seen ONE in person! And I have been playing with MINIs for 8 years now!

    Call them back and pay it! :)

    Here is a much cheaper idea, don't carry so much crap in your MINI. :idea::lol:

    I have a glove box and everything I need fits in it. I epoxy glued the armrest shut and do not keep nothing in my doors either.

    Rattles = :incazzato::mad2:

    Less rattles= :Thumbsup: :biggrin5:
