Hopefully not too expensive

 

This does not bode well, can be fixed?

Another shirt opportunity?

Take care and enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.

Got a P0204 and P0304 code. Have to track down an injector/mis-fire issue now. Yeah!

 

Me...it's my usual Tues. thru Fri. stay. After the Cigar Salon, there's just that much I wanna do there anymore unless I get something done to my car [dunno which one will be going...probably the S since the Cooper went this year]. I'd LOVE to bring the wife's S, but I'd have to kill her to get the keys away from her! :cornut:

 

Washed the exterior,looked at the dirty engine. Then decided to remove those pesky unsightly decals and preserve them.

 

Today

Today I washed and waxed my MiniCooper. It rained this afternoon

 

I drove mine through the local downtown cruise in. I saw a bugeye sprite headed that way. They either didn't stop, or didn't park on main street. I really wanted to check it out. I might jump off the tetanus express and head back over and walk around.

 

Better not lose them or throw them away...it will be tough to sell your car without them...especially the one with serial numbers.

 

Took it to see the Avengers movie. Yes it's worth seeing. James Spader as Ultron is great. They used his expressions and mannerisms as well as his voice.

 

4 years with TX heat sounds real good. After having car and cycle batteries die without any symptoms, I now replace them on a preventative basis when they get 4 candles on their cake. (Or earlier if I have a big road trip coming up.)

 

Starting about 4-5 years old I start checking the resting voltage now and then (fully charged
with surface charge removed by a couple minutes with the headlights on).
If it's less than about 12.4 V (warm outside) or 12.3 V (cold outside) and winter is approaching,
it's time to replace.

 

Last part sent to Kevin/Jan (Left brake pipe)...There is nothing else to replace or buy. Just needs everything put together!

 

I am still recuperating from the Dragon...more to follow.

 

Took Skooby & Babs for a nice drive out in the country. Great day, stopping here & there. Fried baloney for lunch, apple pie for desert. When we got home I unloaded all the plants Babs had bought. It's planting season at the old folks home.

 

Put my factory seats back in for a short time. Need to send the brackets back out to get reworked... and repair the inside bolster of the passenger side Recaro, that I managed to break towards the end of last week.

 

Last night I worked on fixing an exhaust leak.

 

^^^ Again?! Thought you guys knocked that out at fontana last week?

 

unfortunately no!

 

I saw mine out in the garage with the hood up, ready to get torn back apart to fix broken stuff over the weekend...

 

Cleaned the glass extra good, Aquapel to the outside glass, and new PIAA wiper refills on the front.
