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

Wow. Did you happen to be in the garage when it happened? I probably wouldn't know what happened until it was too late.

 

What was the battery for? And was it being charged?

 

This is what I use for my RC's

Yeah, it does feel like automotive homeopathy, but at least it’s cheap. We’ll see after a tank or two of gas if the code decreases its frequency. If not, no harm done.

Though I will say that cleaning the MAF made me feel better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I'm a believer in Techron added to the fuel tank. It will help keep the injectors & combustion chamber lean. It will not touch the back of the valves where the carbon hides. Also it is made from the best free range humanely sourced snakes. What could go wrong?

For those valves you need to throw walnuts at em.

 

My MINI is hibernating today, just like me. It was a beautiful sunny and 68F yesterday. The high so far today has been 32F.

You know, thinking about it, I haven’t been able to make it over to a Shell as often as I used to (there was one right where I worked, none near my home). It’s been a few months since she’s had anything other than lower grade fuel, and my driving habits have changed as well. I’m doing more short trips than long ones.

Hmmmmm.....

 

I did the same thing but did not wash my car. I took it out for a run to Delaware for cheap smokes and came home.

Maybe if I am bored tomorrow I will wash it in the rain and dry it in the garage.

 

I like that look, I’ve been contemplating something similar - black out the belt and other bits of chrome, tinting the rear.

 

Nope---Red Lobster has too much salt

 

So, apparently the previous owner was hiding some shit. What’s odd is those gouges are painted over. Some people’s kids.....

 

Sometime last week I posted here about diverters/BOVs on my R56. I was kinda' expecting some comments. Is it something I need to concern myself with, or is it not an issue?

Good luck with that Dayton crowd. They are mostly into Classics and most stick to themselves, although they are HUGE on MINI MEET EAST.
