What did you do with your MINI today?

Replaced oil pan gasket, crank position sensor o-ring, power steering fan, thermostat and thermostat housing...more to come...

 

You've been busy.

 

Very, I'm hoping to get it finished by the end of the week.

 

Drove down to Ferrari of Washington to look around, god I need some

cash. Beautiful all black 458 or the lime green lambo, just what should

I do?:drool

 

Stay in the MINI and drive on past...

 

Since we have had a lull in the weather (snow & ice), I housed out the garage and started the MINI! Woo Hoo. Washed off Black Magic, re-pulled in it's charging tail, and covered her up until the weather improves in the spring. If it snows in July here, I will move to Hawaii.

Dorky story I know.. but I still had a smile on my face pulling in & out of garage. Motored in the MINI 20' for 2013.

 

Today, I think my MINI had on it's cloak of invisibility. Drove a whopping mile or so in the rain to the Market. Almost was hit 4 times in 5 blocks by cars pulling out from the curb. It's like I wasn't there at all. Headlights were on too.

 

I had the SAME thing today....must be some planetary alignment off kilter or something....

 

I ordered a grill badge holder....and am still waiting for my new license plate !

 

That's essentially my commute to and from school... I am always paranoid.

 

I got my Grill Badges :ihih: ...BYTE ME .. & ..BLOODY FAST ( i put them on the boot )

Thank you MIND THE CURVE ( www.minthecurve.com )

Now I don't have to yell as loudly out the window !!!

 

It wasn't specifically today but my wife and I took a road trip in the MINI from Kentucky to Myrtle beach, SC, on Thursday, stayed a few days, then drove back yesterday. Man I love how this things handles curves!:ihih:

 

I kept it clean and dry in the garage

 

I cleaned her yesterday and installed this Whalen did an amazing job. Cannot believe the difference in shifting feel and the fact that I don't have to reach down... it's like a rally shifter.

 

Nice....

 

That's sweet! Is that one he makes regularly or a one of?

 

Put a new clutch in. What a project lol

 

He can make it if you ask. It's called the tall knob; there are several others out there but I don't think he wants to make a mass production of them b/c it was sort of a PITA.... or perhaps it was just me lol :devil:

 

Drove this home this afternoon and parked it between the other two..... :beer
