Got my bright work back today so it's time to put the car back together. I'm taking bets on how long that will take. I already have most of it done, but the dreaded intercooler.
I'm back and no bets. I'm a die hard and hate to not finish what I start. So I went back to the car and got that dam thing mounted. I cheated a little. I had some new factor boot that are easier to put on. I have the shop replace them with my red ones on Monday. Then off to the car show in a couple weeks.
Easier than you thought with plenty of time to clean and polish everything to your liking….and by the way good luck with the car show.
This Saturday is the British car club’s annual Euro car show. I put the Helmet in it the first year I had it. Last year I put the Lotus in the show. My wife may enter her 66 bug but not the Mini. I will probably enter my X1/9, I thought about entering it and the Lotus. It’s in the grass and last year the Lotus got high sided on a hump, I don’t want a repeat. Anyway I take pictures.
I really love cameras & taking pictures. No more DSLRs for me. Too big & heavy, so now I shoot mirrorless with Fuji cams. It is amazing what an iPhone can do. Mine works in a pinch...
I love Fuji cameras! There are a couple I want. I like that they do film simulation. I know I can do it in post but it's not the same. I also like the side, you're right Chuck the DLSR is big. Something smaller that could always be with me would be great. I love photography also! I like this one due to the retro controls. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1662379-REG/fujifilm_16759768_x_t30_ii_mirrorless_digital.html but this is the one I would like to get, it would be easy to keep with you https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1542675-REG/fujifilm_x100v_digital_camera_silver.html/overview
Yes it is kind of crazy. A nice point and shoot is almost $1000. I would like to have a new iPhone 15 pro max just for the camera but $1100 for a phone, I just can’t do it.
I have a flip phone. I have always thought a phone is to make calls. I have a laptop for everything else.
I have an iPhone6 that’s starting to get long of tooth. It cannot use a lot of apps because it’s operating system is to old so I’m thinking of getting a new iPhone15 but not the pro as it’s additional features, while nice, just wouldn’t be used by me. Heck there things this phone does that I’m just learning about.
Taking Checkers back to the shop to have the red boots back on. It looks better in red. Besides I got a code when I came home. I used my scanner to check the code (P1682) idle something. I didn't clear it , but when I started it up today it was gone.
Very nice pictures, I have to say, the black 4dr looked rather nice, wheels and it appeared to be lowered or is that the stock stance on the 4drs? Again, you guys have some good rides and weather to enjoy. Don
Not Mini, sorry. Saturday was the Euro car show put on by the local British car club. We took My wife's 66 bug, my 86 X1/9 and the Exige. It was a perfect day for a car show. The X1/9 was in the sam group as a Ferrari and Maserati. Those two cars were parked up front, My lowly Fiat was back in the corner with the other car in the Italian group. The public voted on the cars by group. I knew the X did not stand a chance. I was wrong. To my surprise it won! The lowly X beat the Ferrari! I couldn't believe it. Anyway it was a good day. Here are a few pictures. The gray bug is my wife's. There was only one Mini, it was a stock F56. He came late and left early.
