See you soon buddy.

I washed the car and packed it with good beer, car cleaning supplies and a few clothes.

 

Same here all ready to roll Wednesday morning. Safe travels my friend!

So you are going to copy the ATLA alter ego and stick f bomb stickers on the door. How original.

 

Dave...what's an "ATLA" alter ego?

Anyway, the R50's ready to go to MOTD, on Tuesday. I'm taking a lazy day tomorrow and just mowing and resting up for the drive down.

Hope everyone has safe travels!

 

I believe he's speaking on the wrap colors on that rendering. I'm pretty sure I've seen something very similar on another MINI.

 

The F Bomb is from a sticker that is on a dent on the rear hatch, it was just a play on that. Sorry if that offends your sensibilities.

 

I've been looking for the aero kit for my JCW, and I love the flared fenders. I'd like to see that wing from the back.

Have a great time at the Dragon!

 

Okay...my mistake. I was thinking it was just another of Dave's misspelled words.

 

Here ya go.

Sprintex..........lots of issues with those.

 

As an FYI, be very careful threading the two lower W/P bolts into the intake tube, just make sure they are aligned and started properly, they can cross thread easily.

 

Smashed in the front of my car when another car turned left from the oncoming lane RIGHT in front of me.
Slammed on the brakes but not enough time or distance to stop.
Looks repairable, unless there's something bad going on inside behind the bumper, but the NADA value of a 2003 R50 will probably result in it being declared totaled.
If so, I'll have to think about buying it back as a wreck and fixing it anyway or looking for something else.
It's in great shape with 6 speed conversion, Quaife LSD, Koni Sports, great summer and winter wheels/tires, etc., so I'd like to hold on to it for a while yet if possible.
Other thoughts while I'm waiting to hear an estimate . . .
I don't like the F56s, maybe I could find a nice low mileage 2013 R56 MCS if necessary.
I probably can't find a nice low mileage 2006 R53, but that's also on the maybe list.


Yes, that's my antifreeze in front of the car on the road.

 

Dang. That sucks man!

Real bummer. Let us know how that insurance thing plays out. I am about to visit an agent to negotiate a better deal than I am getting with my current insurance that has become complacent about my business and is raising rates again.

Nothing done to my Minis in a week, other than Dark Silver rolled out of storage to get ready for the summer. Oh, I did buy a steam cleaner, something I always wanted to use on hard to clean spots under the hood and inside the car. And a shop vac, since I am about to make a mess again when dropping the subframe on the daily driver.
