    Looking good Don. Love color combination. Just what a fella needs for zipping around Colorado back roads.

    Which is part of the reason I tell people to TEXT rather than call... The other part is only having 30% of my hearing left (thanks machine guns and TOW missiles).

    The music dim's for a second, I know I have a call, get to it when I can. Also works for the 100+ emails I get on a daily basis, but it's tolerable. [emoji6]

    Yesterday I planned on getting 'Pepper' ready to hibernate for the winter. It was sunny and warm. Took a 200 mile drive instead. Today is another day...

    Beken, the best thing to clean the black goo up with is alcohol, nothing else really touches it.....

    I wonder who makes steel wheels that fit a new MINI?

    Wonder #2? How a MINI would look with steelies and moon hubcaps?

    Well, I decided to give my 70 a little sprucing up today. I tried some of my new DoDo Juice goodies I got a couple weeks back, experiencing a very nice result. Nuth'n too good for a celebrity.

    I don't understand the penchant for black wheels these days, everything has them from basic sedans to expensive crazy HP cars - to me they look cheap and they always just look dirty......like the owner couldn't afford "good" wheels......

    It probably comes from being a boy in the 50's, when cars ran full hubcaps - if you didn't have hubcaps it was because you were too poor or too cheap to buy them.

    They also just seem to disappear in the wheels wells, you can't really see the style or design.

    Black wheels on a mini with black tires and the black wheel well trim just causes the wheels to loose definition... Everything disappears in the black hole... The one plus to black wheels... brake dust isn't as noticeable.... However Dark Helmet looks just fabulous...

    Helix or Hotchkiss for control arm/sway bar upgrades. Intakes... pretty much better off staying stock and replacing the filter with a K&N (or similar) filter. Heat shields (if you have a second gen) are completely useless and nothing more than under hood bling. There is a lot of history with these products just not quite working/fitting they way they should. So, while they float right to the top of quick Google searches.... doesn't mean they are the best. Just means they have the right advertising and keywords built into the sites to make that happen.
