Still working on getting all bulbs over to LED, having a hard time with the festoon style bulbs for the rear licence plate, but think I got a solution through Outmotoring, we'll see.

 

Bonded with my blue Mini in the garage today. More fun stuff finishing up the fan resistor mod, then swapped out the grill for a nice black JCW, then hooked up the HID fogs. Then real fun stuff bleeding the whole brake fluid. Looked like coffee what came out of there. Then just a few more cleanup wipes. We're getting closer to getting it back on the road.

 

Got my wife's MCSa"s bumper fixed...had it bolted to the frame and it's now rock solid. Yay! No need for a replacement.

 

It's gonna be wet, wet, wet there this week, so be careful if you head over.:fingerscrossed:

 

Today, I got my garage set up and organized after down-sizing sort-of. So, the car is now going into winter mode, with a list of 'stuff' to be done (mostly detailing) under cover when not being worked, etc, etc. Starting planning for the Dragon, and this is one I'm really looking forward to. This year I want to meet as many people as I can because I like to put names with faces...and I do that much better in person. AND< I'm starting to get my gallery together...slowly

 

Today I parked my MINI outside for some rain testing.

I have a BMW e36 I am detailing this week so she has to sleep outside. :lol:

 

You need to do my Thursday Sunrise drive!

 

What is this "winter" you speak of?

Drove mine to work today with the windows down, stereo on. It was glorious.

 

Pulled the bonnet open on Skooby the clubster & did my once a week underhood check. All is well & at 82,000 miles the little Peugeot-Citroen-BMW-MINI engine still uses no oil. Great lil car.

 

Nice picksure Chuck!

 

Had an old BSA that color once. Think they called it "Root Beer".

 

Added more oil than the usual top off last night (I usually add about 1/4 qt +/-)..... Most I've added yet at about slightly over 3/4 quart, it's been about a month since I last checked it and am usually an every other fill up checker. Obviously gotta get back on it. So today I'm sitting here hoping it's nothing serious and is simply due to givin er' a bit more lately, GA drivers know how to piss a guy off.

 

My Cooper now has new polyurethane bushings on the rear sway bar. Yippee! Ready for the Dragon!

 

Heck man you could have wrapped that swaybar with cigar bands & called it good. :wink:

 

I might have done that, but the paper will have disintegrated long before those poly bushings ever will. :ihih:

 

Went looking for an interesting road to drive home on....

 

Just found a reminder email that my paid membership to M/A was about to expire. That was sent in September. :shocked:
So I renewed my paid subscription today. I hope Nathan finds the payment. It's coming through on a different email address.

 

Nathan does not own M/A any longer Sully does.
