lots of oil-related as well as other info here: www.bobistheoilguy.com

 

Nope. That was gone more than a year ago. I'm driving a 2015 WRX for the time being.

I watched my status go from "On Order" to "Scheduled for Production". Man, I hate waiting.

 

Wait until the status says.....

"Newly hired teenager, just learning how to shift a manual, is having a difficult time driving it off the transfer boat"

 

Yup sand it or better yet wet sand it with 2000 or higher 3000 and clear again the next day.

 

MCS02...Let me know if you need some VERY fine grit sandpaper (5/0 to 8/0 grit) and I will send you some.

 

Ethel just crossed over US13 at the mouth of the Chesapeake headed to Baltimore for unload tomorrow.

Sent all of her her info to the insurance company yesterday but they had no info on the 2018 Mini's in their system yet. That's why I started early.

 

Little joy ride out to a car show, couldn't have asked for better weather here in NOVA. Just beautiful out there!

 

My Daughter rode with me to my VA appointment in Durham. Afterwards we took a ride to Cary to visit the big Korean Market for lunch and some shopping. Like TATTRAT said, it was a beautiful day for a ride.

 

Yesterday: Traded wife's Countryman ALL4 S manual. Last day of the month deal FTW.

Well, Friday started a nice week + off from work. Spent the day installing 5 more windows on the second floor of the house with the extra set of hands from our very own Dave.0.



Proof that the Mistress does see the light of day..... once in a while.

We made short work of having to sling the ladder around for 3 of the 5 windows.

 

Thanks again, Dave!

Now I can spend the rest if this week flashing and capping the 9 windows that have been installed to date.

 

Today I washed the wife's ride and cleaned it really well. It got too hot and humid to do mine so I will do it tomorrow morning.

I did do a SC oil change on my new to me M45 which will be going on my car soon.

Mine original SC has a 100k + on it and is weeping a little oil from the front so I am going to replace it with the very low mileage one I have had sitting on my shelf for the last few years. I will also install new OEM water pump, bypass valve and a few other parts while the front is wide open. :ihih:

 

Wewt. So we should see pics soon?

 

Rotated tires on the R59 and took the opportunity to move the RSB back to its softest setting. With the NM Alpha springs in concert with the 25mm bar, the middle hole resulted in a bit too much tail happiness. This change will hopefully make mountain twisties a bit less scary.

 

Foot down & steer where you want to go.:arf: Over-steer is a glorious thing, but I understand completely. Too much can get very interesting. :wink:
