Blame it on all those day's that Nate had to move his MINI to the other side of the street ....

Because....... "Street Sweepin"

 

Today had a VA appointment at JC in St. Louis, well after dealing with those buttheads decided I needed a break and lunch. So me and the wife went to Fuzzy Taco on Watson and then I tricked her into going to MINI STL. Test drove her next car a new All4 S, as I was told during the test drive in between some other choice wording.

 

Started assembling my replacement turbo. Kinda anxious to get the car back on the road.

 

Working on replacing the Crank pulley with an Alta 0% and replacing the Serpentine belt with a Gates Fleet k060539HD belt. :fingerscrossed:

Took mine in for the last "FREE" service...

Oil, filter, carbon cabin filter, front and rear wiper blades and labor...

Total bill came to $384.00:crazy: But all covered under the factory warranty...

 

Just finished working on this mod....



R56 fuel cap on the Countryman!

 

What else??? 1/2 off shakes after 8 at Sonic!

 

:cornut: Pharmacy and grocery store. The only gold in the golden years is that which one gives to: Doctor, Pharmacy, Hospital, Tax Collector(city, school, county, fed).

I opened up the Bentley shop manual I bought off Craigslist last week... and found a $5 Canadian bill!

 

Made a Mickey Dee's run this morning to pick up breakfast for my lovely bride. (Our house is a shambles - middle of a remodel job) It's about 12 miles of wooded twisties. First time using the sunroof. Great for a cool morning ride.

 

Stared at it over morning coffee trying to recall where all the parts go so I can install the new turbo.

Hope to get my new 3" down pipe this week.

 

Ordered more parts from a variety of M/A sponsors.

 

:cornut: Just got back from a night drive in Margi. Sailed past a local policeman doing 78mph in a 65mph. After a nice friendly conversation and my sacred promise to observe the posted speed in the future, he let me go, not even a warning ticket. MINI on. Boy it sure is nice that almost all of the Texas Highway speeds are now(if outside of city limits) 75-85mph. MINI on Texas.

I figure Jason was out in to toolies tipping cows, yep that's it tipping cows. I heard he was a big tipper. :smilewinkgrin:

 

Found a golf bag that fits in the trunk (with the back seats folded down). A very necessary accessory indeed. :wink:

 

Drove to Pittsburgh for the vintage races. Had big fun & drove back home.

Turned over 118,000 miles.
