    Filled the MINI with 92 octane ethanol free gas.
    I also dumped a half a bottle of Techron in it to insure sufficient detergent content.

    Yeah, a lot of these third party "perfect fit" brackets, don't.
    I had to do some modifications to my Corbeau brackets to shift the seats toward the tunnel, just like you. They fit the car fine, and fit the seats fine... but didn't center the seat in the available space.

    I can't stand when a seat isn't centered to the wheel. I feel like I'm driving crooked. Did they correct the mistake gratis?

    Drove Locutus to the DMV office, and finally completed title paperwork for GP0769, and paid taxes on it. Need to get an inspector to visit the house and confirm that I actually do have it... then can get a title. For a car that I will never drive. Dumb, but required by law.

    Why is it required by law? The GP was only a parts car the convertible has the VIN.

    I purchased the car. I have to pay taxes on it, parts car, or not. And in this state, the way you do that is by titling it.

    I would have claimed the car was in parts and that it was very well packed up for shipment.

    :D

    Went to the Louisville Farmers Market in the Countryman, it is going to be a good year, opening day at the market, tamale booth, bread booth or two and a guy selling Mexican/New Mexican style hot sauces.

    The pup and wife enjoyed it too.
