Gave her a bath and then drove down a dusty lane and got rained on. The bath turned out to be pointless. :mad2: Jim
LOL- I hear ya... gave RYU a bath a day or so ago and just got poured on driving back from a friend's house rrr:
Drove up to Mid Ohio and watched the first day of the NASA Championships with a fellow MoM. I will make the same trip tomorrow to watch some more class championships.
We went driving on Ohio's back roads, we found some nice ones too. Also learned about roll backs. My MINI has reached classic status today. Yep a ride on the roll back. AAA+ FTW!
It appears the alternator no longer alternates. Got about 30 miles driving on battery power. Man electric cars are not for me. :nonod:
I changed Rita's oil again today. Used Mobil 1 0W40 and a factory filter. I'm doing 2 short intervals get things really clean. After that, I plan to run Mobil 1 5000-7500 miles between changes.
Got new tags, (Now I can ride on the roads again). And after 111,500 miles a new battery. Bosch from Pepboys, with a 20.00 coupon and core it came to just under $100.00. I am a happy camper once again :biggrin5:
Today, my friend Richard and I modded my wife's JCW Coupe. New Mach V Technics lowering springs, beefy Alta rear sway bar and new torque bushing inserts for the lower engine mount. Stance much improved. Handling very much improved. JCW handles like it's on rails now.
Assessed the damage from being cut off then the other driver proceeded to then slam on her brakes to make a turn... Escaladed bumpers not ftw...
Took Gimli the Clubman for a motor up the Great River road, some back road twisties, and a little Italian tune-up
Worsched the MINI with Prima Hydro Wash and applied Prima Hydro Seal..... Those two products were made in heaven..... They are some mighty fine stuff.....
I drove Scooter out past Vail today, it was a great day to drive in the Mountains, I70 not so much. :frown2: I did find a set of nice twisties coming down Coal Creek Canyon, but alas the leaf peepers are out. :sad: Guess I need to go to the track soon!
Sorry for your loss of electrons Chuck.... I'll be down at the shop tomorrow morn..... If there is anything I can help with.... Just let me know.... The other Chuck.....
Oh my ******* ***..... If you are in PA today, drop what you re doing and go outside and do some motoring. It is 70 right now, blue skies and perfect weather for us forced induction junkies Yeah buddy!!!!!!
