    Nice cleanup on PorkChop, subtle... You only left the S in front, how will people know it is an ALL4? Or do you care! :devil:

    Will the tweaks hold if the ECU gets an update by the dealer?

    Nice!

    Was that Red Beans and rice, Cajun style?

    We drove the Countryman down to the local Starbucks to get a couple Grandes, Latte and Hot Chocolate after working our backsides off in the yard.

    Yard looks ready for winter which has come and gone for a bit here in Colorado.

    Take care, have a great Sunday.

    :)

    I do love cajun red beans and rice, but today's beans were black beans, with some diced onions, diced tomatoes, and some of the last of my backyard jalepeñoes that I picked before the first freeze a few days ago.

    Tucked the Mini away in my heated shop for the winter. Toyo R1R's are on the rack waiting for next season.

    Projects for the winter: mount my DIY carbon fiber hood and start measuring for the rear diffuser.

    Hope work doesn't get in the way too much. Really want to get this all done by spring!

    Take a good hard look at your strut top mounts, that could be where the noise is coming from...

    Nathan, was that the friendly good MINI guy or gal or the not so friendly tow truck operator moving Gnat.

    Perhaps a 10x15 storage unit for the winter? Then bum rides all winter long, I hope you are healing well.

    That's exactly where it seems to be coming from. I know what I'm fixing next.

    What a mess that was...we had to clean the garage floor twice and last nite, before leaving, I had to add 8 oz. of antifreeze to the reserve tank. I worried all the 75 miles over to the dealer this morning, but all is ok now...thank God. Dunno what I'd have done if it started up on the way back...prolly make yet another trip back...grrrrrrrrrrrr. It was leakage done when the car was assembled in Germany.

    You need to move out into the sticks where you'll be safe.

    WOW...I am soooooooo impressed. NOT. WHO needs to be driving like a maniac thru a roundabout on Black Friday, the busy, bust shopping day after Thanksgiving? What...the traffic wasn't nutso enough for you, that you just "had" to make it worse? Sorry, buddy [but not really THAT sorry]. :nonod::frown2:

    took advantage of the temperature being in the mid-70s and washed and waxed the MINI.
