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

Took the Mini out and watched the Ralley cars run the, 100 acre ralley race in Potosi MO today. Didn't get to see Ken Block but seen a Mini run the course did real good, seen him later at the finish line got a big thumbs up when he saw my mini,as he was getting his finish time. LOL...

 

Took MC out for a Mother Nature kind of bath . . . .The faster you go the better the rinse. !!!!!

 

Replaced a leaky valve cover gasket, now nice and dry

 

Very easy, took less than an hour. Just make sure the gasket is seated in the channel before tightening up.

 

Drove home from Helenblitz. Had a great time there with the Mini family.

 

rolled over 80000 miles

 

It wasn't specifically today but my wife and I took a road trip in the MINI from Kentucky to Myrtle beach, SC, on Thursday, stayed a few days, then drove back yesterday. Man I love how this things handles curves!:ihih:

 

He can make it if you ask. It's called the tall knob; there are several others out there but I don't think he wants to make a mass production of them b/c it was sort of a PITA.... or perhaps it was just me lol :devil:

 

Killed a squirrel. Stupid tree rat.

 

I gave our new Classic some TLC inside and out and recharged the Hydrolastic system. Ready for next weekend's St. Paddys festivities....... :beer

 

The wing on the 06 looks very nice, I wonder if I should put an R56 one my 07?

Thought about washing Scooter today, but I will do it after the C&C on Saturday AM. It is not that dirty, the mag chloride matches the DS on the boot!

Yes it is good to go, it will be coming to all MOM events from now on...

 

:cornut: Went to Church's Chicken to get Sunday lunch for the family.:drool

I got 'em out for a little play time (even let my son drive the R53) and some much needed Vitamin D..... Closed up with a couple beers and conversation.

What a Great Day! :beer

 

Switched out Nigel's winter shoes for the new summer ones: JCW Challenge wheels + Conti DW's 205/45-17. Converted to wheel studs with the switchover, also.

Very pleased! Of course, 3 of the 4 tires had 42 psi from the tire shop, that'll teach me to check them all before I go out for a first drive.

I'd considered Rota RBs or Breyton GTS's, but ultimately settled on the JCW rims since, well, I like them, and also you don't see them often on Ice Blue MINIs. Quick shot below, I almost didn't bother...as if folks hadn't seen JCW wheels. But I am liking how these are now filling the wheel wells nicely with the NM Alpha springs.

 

Put the summer tires back on and the winter tires back into storage until next winter. It better not snow next week.

 

Installed my new GP Intercooler and DDM Diverter...

 

No need to stoke that ego.... srsly.

 

Yesterday put on the 19mm rear sway bar and the new camber plates.
Today shifter bushings, cd changer, and valve cover gasket.
