    Hope you had your V1 up & running for your fast & furious impersonation. Reliving your misspent youth? :Stig:

    Sorry Scott, maybe you need a smaller car that is easier to park. ;)

    Are you headed to the Indy car race in Portland? :Stig:

    ;) I blame the sun in my eyes.......

    Indy race is a no. PIR is not very spectator friendly for the big races. And the support races are a little disappointing. Will just watch the TV coverage on Sunday.....

    Speaking of car shows, I've been asked to attend and have thought about entering a few local car shows. What special do I need to do to my car to show it? Do I need to clean the inner side of my wheels and the engine and stuff?

    Maybe, but I had 3 failures with 3 differnt sets. Many other people have reported the same. They may have fixed the issue by now but I have moved on to better brakes and pads.

    I haven't done anything with the mini's, to much work. I drove the helmet to work all week. It is covered with sap from one of the trees. I was going to wash it off a day ago but now its raining. I guess I don't need to wash it now.
    The R53 is sitting in the garage waiting for me to get new tires.

    Hi Dave,
    What pads are you using?

    I've tried to get EBC Redstuff locally where I am, but have been unable to. So I've just been using stock MINI pads. I think they are great except for how dirty they make my wheels. For normal slightly spirited street use in an area where we sometimes get snow, is wet most of the time, but summers can get hot and for a car that does a lot of mileage, what pads would you recommended?
