Will this be done by MME? I'd love to see it.

 

No moar 'Stang??

 

I did nothing to my car today because I was too busy working.

I will be cleaning it up a little for ride on Sunday to C & C up in Bethlehem PA with friends from the Philly crew. Should be a great day. Maybe I will take pictures, but don't count on it. :lol:

 

I will be changing my oil to 5W40. Is this a bad thing???

 

Nope, you will be fine.

 

Took the Mini to meet my Daughter and Grandbabies for breakfast at Huddle House.

 

I doubt if it's a bad thing, but why do you think you need to do it?

The mfr calls for 5-30......

 

I'm just trying 5W40 to see if there in any effect on engine temperature or pressure. Nothing is wrong...just playing.

 

I took my MINI out for a nice ride today just to run it before tomorrow's C & C which is about an hour and a half away is Bethlehem, Pa.

When I got back she got a complete wash which only took 2 hours. :ihih:

 

My wife and I took the MINI, met up with some friends and had a glorious trip through the countryside driving down to the Ohio river....

Had a fantastic lunch at a winery / restaurant.... chicken livers with bacon and onion over a bed of wild rice.... Washed it down with two glasses of local winery made peach sangria...

Oh.... And hit a dead raccoon lying in the middle of the road with my front splitter... Briefly saw part of a leg or tiny hand shoot across my bonnett... Now I need to warsch the MINI and remove the raccoon schmoo off the front bumper.... No MINI parts were damaged... The raccoon felt no pain.... So all is good...

 

Raccoon Schmoo.:lol:

 

Pesky Schmoos.

 

Took the MINI up to the Mini Mania Nevada City Adventure. Met some cool people including Mr. and Mrs. Checkers and got to check out his RMW powered MINI in person.

 

Squirted some O this stuff in this afternoon, then took 'er on a little test run. She feels faaaaaaanntastic :beer The original fluid looked like it needed to be changed, it was very dark in color.

 

I had all the best intentions of cleaning up Peppurr (new name) for the MINI Meet East event...but...it was a gorgeous day, bright sky, white clouds and a cool breeze, so wife and I drove to Indiana to see the grandkids in a local play. About 2 1/2 hours driving time and I loved every minute of it. Cleaning and polishing will come, but you have to keep the priorities straight.

 

Woah.....

For a second there I thought she was making one of these rooms...



Best keep the wife happy....
