Yep... Never get a "remanufactured (in China)" hub assembly... Once the dash lights come on... They dont go back out!

 

Sent a hub assembly to some dude in California, and patted myself on the back, as I THINK it's the last thing I need to replace.

 

New clutch, radiator, fan resister, front sway bar bushings and steering rack bushing, map sensors and O2. Found a vacuum leak. So maintenance really. Under load around 3k rpm it was sputtering so definitely map sensor mixed with that vacuum leak.... I'm sure we got the culprit.

Nice Dave. Lol.

 

Nah, there will be a provision for a drive on mower deck. The mudder type tires are gonna be loud on the highway though.

 

I was in a 42 but now I'm in a 38.

 

^^ Car :crazy:

 

Sorry David.0....

You presented an opening that I just couldn't pass up....

 

See ya in Fontana on Wednesday. Safe travels, Dick!

 

I really wish I could be at the dragon this year, but I have a family gathering to attend. It's only a 3 hour drive yet so far away. It would be so cool to meet many of you. Minis, beer and cigars are three of my five favorite things. I guess I'll have a good beer and a cigar on the beach while I wish I was there.

 

Stopping on the way to MOTD tonight at Cheshire Inn St. Louis. Fox and Hound Pub in the hotel.

 

Cleaned the inside and glass. Mounted my gps/phone holder. Checked all the fluids again and tire pressures. Getting stuff packed.

 

Well after my swaybar installation our crack test driver said he wanted even moar cornerfast. So this morning the crack pit crew of Chuck & Babs tightened this up another notch. All is well & I'm a happy old fart. :smilewinkgrin:

 

Stopped in at Peg Leg Porker for a late lunch on the way to MOTD!!!!

 

Speed tax is not fun.....

 

Dropped some leds behind my air vents, on a separate switch so I can have them on when I want, tempted to get some sound reactive LEDs for the door speakers

 

^^^ I see you tripped the sensor that has the passenger holding the beech ball...

 

Organizing a drive through some twisty roads around the Vancouver BC area.
Since nobody driving a MINI has responded, I opened it up to other cars of interest.

If you're in the Vancouver BC area, you're welcome to join us. This Sunday...

 

Motoring bird...followed me (I was driving my MINI, bird was flying) for about 2kms into the office parking lot and tried to follow me into the building.



It didn't have a security pass so I didn't let him in.

 

First thing tomorrow morning, I am running up to the state line... Adding a new sticker (last years is still there) and heading to Fontana for a farewell till next year!

 

I took off all those stickers off long ago and I am not selling my MINI.
