Your MINI looks sad. Nice muscle car, but be careful that thing can make you lose your license fast.

 

Picked up a new toy for detailing......

 

Sometimes ya just gotta say C-YA! Enjoy that new Mopar machine.

 

That's a very cool find Dave! Let us know how it works out for ya.

If Genik sees that, the questions won't stop. Having electricity would be in order...

 

Replaced the battery in the Countryman tonight. Bit of a pain but all is well that ends well.

 

Damn, dude, that is quite a down-grade. Sorry you had to let the Mini go ... :crazy:

 

yea..from a small, fun toy car to a not-so-fun car...

now, i just wish Mini comes with another nice 2 seater car...something similar to Coupe ..

I tested it out on my black rook and A-pillar yesterday and it runs so smooth with a 12 mm throw. It's a nice and balanced machine with a soft start feature. With the throw it has you do not really need to apply much pressure to get an defect free finish.

I tested with a white microfiber cutting pad and Sonax Perfect finish compound / polish and it finished down awesome with a little residue to wipe off. The roof came out perfect because it was already in great condition to start with. :ihih:

The black OEM MINI A-pillar was a nice surprise because it came out flawless without any "spiderweb" scratches at all and looks like liquid black just like the roof now.

FYI I have a Super bright LED light that I can look at the paint and check for any imperfections.

You're back in Ohio? I've already sent the link to the listing of your car to a friend that is looking for a new toy. Bringing the new car out to Circleville this year?

I got it washed today.

My TPMS light has been on for a few days, but when I went to air up the tires, I dropped my compressor hose, and the tire filling thingy broke into three pieces, and I haven't gotten a new one, yet. I was actually at Lowe's today, buying herbs and pepper plants, but forgot to get a new tire filling thingy.

BTW, thingy is a technical term some of you may not be familiar with, but don't be embarrassed if you don't know what it is. :biggrin5:

Made room for the MINI's new stablemate...

Man.... I gotta clean up the garage....

 

Double Damn!

 

Mmmm flat 6 goodness....

 

Washed my car today. Also put on Dick's Garage black mirror caps and custom painted black and red MINI emblems.

Also changed plugs, cleaned air filter and double checked the car for the Dragon.

 

Yesterday I went for a nice drive with friends in my new to me JCW R56. I will miss the R50, I learned a lot about driving in that car, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity on the new one.

Nice looking ride !!

 

It stayed in the Garage again, today. Good thing it was there tonight. About 8PM, the tornado sirens went off, and I checked the news website, and we had a whopper coming our way.

No tornado, but a whole lot of hail, ranging from dime size to golfball size. Looks like I'll be getting a new roof on the doghouse.

The guy across the street has two nice cars, and only room for one in the garage, and he was in a bit of a panic, so I moved my MINI over, and we squeezed his Challenger in next to it.

I grabbed a few big hail stones, vacuum sealed them, and tucked them into the freezer for the insurance adjuster to see.

Springtime in North Texas.
