Well I'm back and it is working if you count that each time I log in I seem to have to ask for a new pass code.
They tell you how easy it is to do banking etc. online but somehow fail to understand how frustrating and aggravating it becomes when the system doesn’t work correctly.
I have a 3/8 and an 1/2. I use the 1/2 drive the most. It has both FT/LB and n/m. it goes up to 196.6 n/m or 145 ft/lb. The 3/8 is in/lb
BMW club VINFest event open to cars with BMW DNA.. A Handful of MINIs and several Chicago MINI Club members bringing in their Non-MINIs as well Here is a link to more pictures https://www.flickr.com/photos/ernestovumbles/albums/72177720311085003
Another day another car show.. Today was the annual British Car Show in Chicagoland.. There were lots of Classic Minis and lots of new MINIs including a Goodwood edition and a pair of GP-3's owned by a husband/wife who regularly take them to the track. I was a guest driver for a friend's 1960 Triumph Herald, so no MINI for me. Here is a link to more pictures from the show https://www.flickr.com/photos/ernestovumbles/albums/72177720311110338
Filled up the MINI with top tier 93 octane gas on my way to retiree breakfast with a nice drive home beating the heavy rain.
I've been down tinkering with the Mini and took off the intercooler for polishing. Does anyone know a good and easy way to reinstall it? It's a real bit** to get it back on.
Sorry about the funny, I am just glad I am not the only one that could not get them on. Every time I did it it was a fight.
I know. I done it several times but it's still a Bit**. You cant use a lubricant and I'm getting to old to fight it much anymore.
I put a Wagner one in and it was a real bitch to sniggle in due to the larger size. Even the stock one is a struggle.
The odometer passed 318888 kms today. It was supposed hit 320000 back in 2021, but we had this issue with COVID. It should cross the 320000 milestone around Christmas this year.
The Vancouver MINI Cooper Club did their annual run from Vancouver to Harrison Lake last weekend. We started with 21 cars, 2 of them joined us from Washington State and ended with 14. We got caught up in heavy traffic and a bunch of people got lost. I was the trailing sweeper car, but the three cars in front of me all split up and went three different directions and the same intersection. I could only chase one of them. Everybody was given a map of check points so we could all meet up at the next check point, but only a few of them made it there. I was able to take a few pictures. https://www.flickr.com/photos/beken/albums/72177720311284975
