Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

I took GIR to the shop and had an alignment done. WOW, what a difference the coilovers make. IMO a smoother ride than the JCW struts, although I do have them set pretty soft, nice none the less. I get a little noise when backing up into a turn, something new to figure out I guess.

 

Today, I gave up on trying to adjust my headlights on my 2005 R52. Going to an independent garage. What a ***** !!!!!! It's no wonder that MINI invented a special tool to do the with. GRRRR...

 

Lighting adjustments...

WHITE LED position lamps.

YELLOW fog light bulbs.

JCW LED puddle lamps... replacing the BMW ones that originally were sent to me from China.

I'm thinking about taking the BMW film out of the first set I tried and just having very bright downward firing spot lights (Amazon returns to sellers in China usually results in a "Here's your money, Yankee Dog. Keep 'em!" message back).

 

East Texas always puts the 'pepper' into Pepper White for me. ;-)

 

Looks like love bug season in FL.

 

We have them in Texas, too. Nasty things.

I washed the MINI yesterday, and just ran some errands in it, today.

Took my car out of the garage today for a nice little run to the Train station.
I met up with a buddy from work and we took the train to Suburban Station in Filth-a-delphia for a Holiday get together with other co workers a nice pub. I nice warm bacon cheeseburger with a few pints of Irish water (Guinness) made for a good afternoon / early evening. We walking down to city hall and saw the ice rink has a “beer garden†so we stopped for a few more and headed back home.

 

You didn't drive ?? :cryin:

 

Warsched the MINI today....

It's all sparkly now....

 

Ummmmm Hell no ! I don’t take my car into that crap city.

 

Put all cars on trickle chargers in the garage and then sat in the blue one to see how that new 64GB USB stick filled with about 30GB or music would load in the Kenwood stereo. Soon it was obvious that the stick was too large for it to begin playback right away. After about an hour of the display blinking the word "Reading" I turned off the ignition. Not happening today.

 

Took my MINI “the mistress†out of the garage today and ran all over the county today with my wife.

 

Ran a few errands in it. Yawn.

Looked out my back door to make sure it was still there. Guess it's gonna stay there and I'll take the Suburban out tomorrow. Wonder what kind of snow load that splitter can handle.

 

I'm picking it up at the airport tonight, and bringing it back to the airport tomorrow. It's like I am "borrowing" for a day.

Yeah I know. Was supposed to be flurries. It's still snowing. Glad I got my winter coat of wax on it.
