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

I have one mounted on my Craven short shifter and am very happy with it.

Just finished replacing the interior and license plate lights with LED units. Replaced the courtesy lights in the door with Mini logo LEDs. Installed Pulsar circuit board in the third brake light circuit. My detailing guy is coming to the house tomorrow to spiff up the Mini and apply her winter coat of wax. Now, if I can get my son to return my Suburban I won't have to drive the Mini in bad weather.

 

Drove to work listening to an epic long version of Dark Star by the Grateful dead from a concert on 10/24/74. Good tunes can sometimes make for a better day.

 

Left it parked in the garage & did the day on SE Ohio back roads in my friends 996. Oh what a sweet drive that car is.

 

Wash, clay bar, machine polish 3, machine polish 4, Groits Paint Sealant. The Helmet is glossy.

 

Passed another mileage milestone.



I pulled over to take this picture. Noticed the car is stopped.

 

Glitter never sleeps.

 

Because of the tolerance you both built during your mischievous youths?!

In all seriousness... speedy recovery to your brother.

 

Took the R50 out, aired up the tires and went to a 2 hour drive...it welcomed the nice, Fall weather, which is supposed to end today. Now the car is back in its stall, eagerly awaiting Indian summer and some nicer Winter days.

 

Took the racing slicks off. Well the worn down to racing depth S Drives. :wink: Looked at the brakes, all is well :biggrin5: & slapped on the treaded soft skinny tires.

 

Washed my car yesterday and put it in the garage while it is supposed to rain today.

 

I have only had to replace 1 windshield in my 05 but I am about due for another one since I picked up a nice chip comming home from the Dragon last year.

I have had great results with Pilkington glass and it has taken some very hard hits.

 

A leopard print, perhaps?

 

That is a great looking R53... Looks to be a fully optioned JCW.
If mine woulda started out like that, I would have preserved the look.

 

That sucks Stef! Sorry to hear about the assault on your Mini.

 

A bolt in the right rear up by the sunroof was a little loose and the hose that carries water down the C pillar was tapping against the C pillar.

 

No I will always be a little nuts. :crazy:

 

Ooooh....shiney. :biggrin5:

This morning I took my Mini to the body shop to get a repair estimate on my hood damage...yikes! Thank goodness for good comprehensive insurance...

 

$80, you stole them.

 

Nice work Savvy. I told you that Juice is good stuff.
