    Oil change! And ordered some new tires to (finally) replace my stock run flats. I was trying to be all frugal and wear them down...

    When they come in, I'll finally be able to put Monty's new shoes on that I got last Christmas. Hooray!

    Co-worker (upon my recommendation) just drove to work in a brand new MINI Cooper S 5-door. Unfortunately, he was not in position to factory order and then wait for one with manual transmission. He still thinks it's great fun so far.


    So I sent him instructions on how to use the launch control :biggrin5:

    (thank-you and a shout out to Motoringfile).

    Not scared there... She just woke up! [emoji12]
    Only time she got scared was when I got the back end way out of shape on the way home! Oh the scream she let out... It was priceless! [emoji12]

    If there is a MINI there, I'm so going to get the next game coming out in November this year.

    Dick you are going to have one heck of a hard time finding a decent camshaft that fits that beer keg engine. :)

    Dick is actually content with both MINIs right now, and this will make sure he doesn't go overboard with the Porker... [emoji6]

    I might not make it to the Dragon this year, because thats where the $$$ came from... But you can't pass up a deal like this when it pops up.

    Sacrifices of a car guy. [emoji12]

    Picked mine up from Best this evening. All better. FYI: yet ANOTHER vacuum leak caused by the powdercoat on my sc horns. Not saying that move was the worst MINI decision I've made, but it's right up there.

    Oh, and swapped out my MSD coil for OEM.
