Cheap insurance, honestly. $65 and some time and coolant.

 

Received my year 3 paid membership magnetic grill badge in the mail. I renewed last year. I was wondering if it got lost in the mail or what. Nathan should have taken a drive to Vancouver. Would have gotten here faster. :devil:

 

I started loading stuff into the Porker... Gots to leave room, someone is actually crazy enough to make the trip with me! There's just a little more camping gear to cram back there, but he's got this much room.



We'll be at the Dragon, sometime Sunday! (Hangover dependent)[emoji12]

Have a safe trip, Dick...leave room for your cigars!

 

I'm getting my wheels rebalanced on the S tomorrow...all those track days and Dragon trips since they were installed make them seem to shudder, even though the alignment is still ok.

 

Again, nothing. :blush2:

I am a bad, bad MINI owner. My office is upstairs from my bedroom, so I don't drive everyday. I don't shave everyday. I don't wear pants everyday. Too much information?

I did, however, think about how much fun it would be to take a long weekend, drive to Hot Springs, Arkansas, get a spa treatment and drive the really fine roads they have up there.

You really want to drive Arkansas' many great driving roads during the day. Every road sign up there is full of bullet holes, and you gotta' figure that stuff happens at night, after the bars are closed.

But, in my defense, my MINI has a very safe and comfortable garage to live in when it is not in use. It lives a pampered life.

Meh.... You Whippersnapper you...

Now get off my grass....

 

Hey wait... I originally joined M/A in 2010 under the Dick's Garage name... Do I get a sticker? [emoji12][emoji23][emoji23][emoji12]

What about one of those magnetic M/A year membership tags? I have a few I'll never use.

 

Wheels rebalanced, Harness installed, 5 gallons of Meth ready to go. I will finish sealing the car tomorrow and I am taking off the Milltek for a few weeks.

Friday I will install my full straight pipe exhaust for the Dragon. :devil:

 

I'm going to want a few sound clips of that exhaust

 

It is a custom made TIG welded 2 1/2 SS straight exhaust the goes under the battery box without any cutting. It only has (2) Magnaflow resonators in the middle with no mufflers. LOUD YES, Daily Driver exhaust NO.

Its on YouTube somewhere on my friends old Yellow 05 MCS before his brother crashed his car.

I loaned it to him when his stock exhaust failed.

Here you go.
His car is the Yellow one and mine is the Red one with the long burnout pegging the tach the whole way.

Wheels have been rebalanced. One was found to be bent and is now languishing in the back as my spare. Fortunately I have 5 of the same size, color and the tire make is the same, too.

 

Replaced a missing plate light lens last night and broke the other one cleaning.

Guess I'm replacing both lenses. [emoji23]

 

We doing the exact thing again this year? I think Mine has gotten a bit a louder since I won. Hmmm, maybe I can get Jan to program it to shoot fireballs too.

 

It all sounds so good, coming from a straight piped Subbie i'd totally daily that exhaust. Haha. I like 'em loud.

Maybe you should make it legal and run with some type of mufflers that are not old blown out glass packs.

I already shoot fireballs. :devil:
