Today, I found a way to tilt the rear wing on the R60's for less than $5.00!

Raising the tip about 1/2" makes a noticeable difference in the way it looks! [emoji41]

Now waiting for it to cool off a bit so I can put a new coat of wax on the Porker before my 4:00 appointment gets here. [emoji12]

 

Replaced the OEM cooling fan, which no longer had a low speed, with a new Dorman one. Came back from that install to find a JCW shift knob waiting for me! Feels much nicer than the original knob and I am looking to driving around with it more this evening.

 

Drove it to take the wife for a big juicy burger, fries and chocolate shake over at Fat Jacks tonight!

 

Well need new lock cylinders for the cross bars. [emoji20]

Went to dinner while letting the paint cure, and the flappy doors to cover the key holes stuck shut. Couldnt even open them with a hammer and screwdriver. [emoji20]

Good news is you can find MINI roof racks all day long for cheap on CraigsList... Then I have spare parts! [emoji12]

 

Pulled some parts out of the GP for Mendra. Pulled the dash pad out of the GP for Locutus.

 

Look at that, a MOMer sold a MINI and I didn't buy it. Who says therapy doesn't work?! [emoji41]

 

I can feel a big difference in turns with the All4 compared to her last CMS. Much gooder.

 

Washed and waxed the R50, and then took it for a drive with the doggy. Big BCD Saturday in Dayton.

 

Nice pic with the MINI in the window...

Now.... Cram all those boxes and post a picture "What have you stuffed in your MINI lately"......

 

UH-OHHH...WAIT! See that smudge? Yep, ole Dick snuffed out that stogie on it! Talk about "age-distressing" a product....:ihih: Pretty smart, buddy! :arf:

 

Hung engine, installed axles. That is all.

Now we have the California MINI.... From the left side of the country...

 

Hate hate hate what salt does to a vehicle. The GP I bought was the same way... bolts on that thing that will never move again.

 

BBBBuuutttt, will you have enough cigars to finish putting your mark on them? :devil:

 

The worst day at the golf course is better that the best day at the office!

 

Are you going to video the start-up? I hope so! opcorn: :beer

 

Put track numbers on the windows and my name over the drivers door. MITM track day, here I come.

Scooter is looking clean enough, all checked out, hope the tires last.

 

Filled oil and coolant. Got to use my nifty Schwaben coolant system evacuation tool. Installed header. Routed wiring for wideband and EGT sensors. Futzed around with a slave install, but more to do on that tomorrow.

Didn't get to the point of starting it... but am very close... TOMORROW....

 

"We" went to my new office for first team meeting with Coldwell Banker Team Fontayne!!! Made sure Rogue was spotless but alas, the sprinklers had run by the time I got out....Aaaaarrrgghhh!!!

 

Lookin good....

Good luck and show them how it's done...
