Yepper. Like this, but cedar stained and a metal roof, delivered to the top of our driveway, unloaded and pushed into place.

Got my car's ride height set, corner balanced, and aligned after I installed new coilovers a couple weeks ago. Can't wait to drive it home from the shop!

 

Took first in class for the season in autoX :biggrin5: I wasn't always the fastest, but I was the most consistent.

 

I'm running a little behind, but on Saturday I installed the DDM Intake and engine torque arm inserts on my wife's Clubman. Her Clubby sounds sooooo much better now...which means her mpg will be going down. :lol:

 

Its a mental milestone. Im less than 500miles away. So, either Monday or Tuesday depending on how much I drive over the weekend.

 

Hey Jim, I rotate mine every day, to and from work....

I won't say I'm necessarily balanced, but I'm harmless....

 

Drove mine for the first time in almost two weeks (Out of town on business). Such a good car. Just a simple drive to work and yet it still leaves me smiling like a fool.

 

Erika, check with Aaron at Outmotoring, he stocks a bunch of MINI OEM fasteners.

 

Let's see...changed the oil, swapped summer wheels and tires for the winter setup (man I hate the way the rib spokes look...), and washed it.

 

*****Motoring milestone achieved*****

Blu Brit officially turned over 100,000 miles on the way home from work. I'm so proud of my little MINI. :beer

 

I appreciated her lovely lines, handling and comfort as I drove her to work, much nicer to drive than the LeMons car. But I wouldn't let her near that sort of racing, she'd get scratched :wink:

 

Find a remote parking lot without any lamp posts or parking bumps & make it your personal wetpad for practicing. :devil:

 

Not sure... I should have said Motul 600 RBF. (perhaps if you use only 1/2 a bottle, it's Motul 300 )

 

I needed a new kennel for one of the dogs. Do I drive the truck or Foggie? Looking at the one we already have, I figure 48X30 will fit just fine, after all I have the RSD. Guess what? 30 was close, but 48 was not. So, I slide both seats forward and it just fits. Close the hatch and try to get in. Hummmmmmmm, did grow a foot? Pushed the MFSW all the way forward and all the way up, turn sideways and get in butt first, grab each leg and pull it inside, adjust myself so my knees are not in my chin. Then, off we go, so far so good, shift into second and nothing. Why is the engine revving and no power? I don't seem to be in second after all, odd, try again. Oh, there it is, way back there past my butt. I could throw my shoulder out of joint trying for second, forth and sixth. This is going to be a long 45 minute drive. Well I made it, unfolded myself out of the car, set up the kennel and the stupid dog won't go in it. :mad2:

Didn't do anything to the MINI but rather for the MINI.

I am running out of room to store the wheels so I stumbled on these wheel racks online at HomeDepot. They are not in the store but ship free if you buy something for an additional $.04. I just bought 2 racks so I could get the wheels up outta my way.



Since I have a pole barn and no 2x4 stud walls, I built a lumber rack years ago that is lagged into the girts and purlins. Nice and sturdy. I would have rather put these up higher but didn't feel like framing all that up.

 

I finally got the pics somewhere where I can share:

 

Turned over 62,000 miles.

 

Said, "Happy Birthday" to my Mini. Two years ago today my MINI rolled off the line in Oxford.
