GTFO...... NO WAY!?

I think this should be the August pic for the next M/A calendar.

 

Had to take the Porker for a multi terrain drive to get my head back on straight... Its been a really good week, mixed with a total PTSD influenced SHIfT storm of a week, and I almost lost it. [emoji17] Feeling a bit better now though.

 

Rolled into Philly with a certain former "member" to play a game of "Escape the Office" as a final bachelor party thing for Helix's main wrench, Marzo. Had 60 minutes to escape... got out in 59 minutes. Then headed out to lunch at Fette Sau. After that... GotTFO of that $#!+hole of a city.

 

Moved one dead MINI off the lift...


And drug another one home overnight, from another state...


Another piece of the puzzle...

 

Did some grilling & wrenching after work today. Gotta say, forgot how much better things taste being cooked over charcoal versus propane.

 

Drove around on my new wheels & tires and asked myself why the hell I didn't do this sooner....

 

Your cute redhead (and no dispute; she's cute) looks scared here. Don't know if it was from the drive or the driver though! :cornut:

 

I only hastily took a photo in not-so-great lighting because I was anxious to hop in and drive. Plus I'm terrible about taking pictures.... This is all I've got for now - I'm on my phone so hopefully it doesn't end up posting upside down!

 

Fitted a Megan Racing exhaust to the Justa. Looks great, but the sound will take some getting used to (over stock sound). I already have a K&N air filter fitted, but I'm considering fitting a DDM intake.

 

Yesterday - got celebrate the wedding that "started" with the proposal at the end of the last MTTS.

You'll have to back the video up to 3:56:25... for some reason the timestamped link doesn't want to work...

May the apex seals be with you...:fingerscrossed:

Another build... Can't wait...

 

Before:



Currently:



Got my LEAP Alpha C lip spoiler on.

Blacked out most of the beltline.. got the front to finish up.

Coming soon:

- R56 MCS front brake upgrade. Just need to paint and install
- steel braided lines

 

Didn't get the Porker near as dirty as I thought! [emoji2]

Had an amazing time last night too... Odd for a Monday! [emoji12]

 

Belt line blackout with matte vinyl and removed / polished the lower vents the previous owner had taped onto the car (I noticed the corners were coming up)... I'm not sure how I feel about the rear end now. May install a rear fog light to even it out.

 

This worked for me....

 

Drove the Porker to the paint store, and to get Monster this morning...

Drove the Rat to Longmont (30 miles each way) to pick up some emergency snowflake stencils from last nights debacle.

Tomorrow we are taking Erin's R57 up to Aspen for the day! [emoji2]

 

Dipped my dash, air bag cover messed up so redoing that tomorrow
