    I liked my custom strut mount, there's nothing better than a mini that handles like a truck. Seriously though, what is the consensus on upgrading that area? I figure the one on the left probably doesn't have too much longer.

    Yup, from Greene Performance. I've been waiting for a good review on this.
    I just wish they would work on the R60's... The Porkers clutch SUCKS!

    I am sure there are members that would love a write up and possibly an install post. I know I would.

    Went on a club run today. Had a great time, even though it rained. I wish we could have traveled at a high velocity down this road.[​IMG]

    That's not the new Clubman. That's the new 4-door hatch.
    The front end is high due to the EURO pedestrian crash regulations. It's all those "safety" regulations that is ruining the looks of all the new cars coming out nowadays.

    It's a shame, but most likely not her call to make. Which, again, is a complete shame.

    A number of years ago I was taking my youngest son to work and he wanted to stop at McDonalds for fries which were 89 cents and the high school employee could not make change from a dollar when his cash register acted up. So very sad.

    I thought everyone had to use a calculator to add and subtract. ;)

    Good grief if they should need to do fractions and or algorithms. :rolleyes:

    As an aside, I took a nice ride on a beautiful Colorado day over to the range to de-stress and plink a couple hundred rounds, 22LR and 380.

    I found I shoot tighter groups with the red-dot scope on the Browning 22. :)

    Scooter loved the ride, looked a bit odd in the parking lot with all the Jeeps and Trucks, but I have high hopes, the range GM drives an Abarth.

    :)
