    That's how the early mounts fail. Over time, they compress & shrink under engine load that's why MINI revised it to one that leaks.:mad2:

    I drove to work listening to a repeat of Howard Stern with George Takei while wearing my kilt. People at work seem to be getting a kick out of it.

    Just back from a little road trip for hot chicken. Got rained on. Car was clean. Unlike Dave.0, I don't look forward to rewashing it again so soon.

    I went and picked up my very old racing road bike. It was being refurbished. It fits the boot with the rear seat backs folded down and the bike's front wheel taken off. No bike rack required.

    Went for a nice club drive yesterday on the parkway. Today it gets a much needed bath.

    I'm sure there's a story there, but I won't ask. Is it time for the Dragon yet?

    In anticipation of doing the front brakes on the R53, I took the liberty of freshening up the parts a bit...

    Oh, and my Dodo Juice came today too!

    Thank you! I'm glad, too. Thank goodness for good coffee, decent reflexes, and great brakes! Now I just need a train horn...

    Today I picked up my new to me S-Heavy wheels with my winter tires mounted on them.

    I am getting rid of my R90's since they are a PITA to keep clean in the Winter when I take my car out in the snow, salt, slush and ice. Yes, I am OCD. :rolleyes:

    I will be giving them to Helix in a few weeks so they can sell them to someone.
    They are knock off R90's but they look exactly the same and are very strong one piece rims with no bends. I have owned them since new so they are very clean and sealed. If you see them you would think they are only a few weeks old not 6 years old.

    Here they are on the car.
