What did you do with your MINI today?

parked it so i could finish working on my vw project

 

Stared at her while applying for jobs and thinking about the modifications that I'll do with the money I make. Then took her out for a refreshing drive.

 

Working on setting up my garage again today when the UPS man brought me a set of these......

 

Mr. Jim, new mitts for the Dragon?

Was going to spiff up Scooter today, but I will wait until the forecast of 12-16 goes out of the area.

Hope so, gotta put the new Swift springs first, then the shoes n wheel alignment!

 

Good luck with the job search. !!!!

 

Thanks! It's tough outside the safety net of school. Don't really think about it till its time and then it's like pigs at the feeding trough.

 

Take your time if you can . . . The daily trough feeding sometimes sucks and the MC only fun twice a day . . . Though I hate racing domestics on the highways they're just a bunch of utter mobiles

 

I drove a buddy to the hospital for tests and then went out for a drive while he was in for his 2 hour procedure. My buddy is in remission from cancer but needs to go to the hospital every year for tests. He is in no condition to drive before or after the procedure.





I went here....

 

Hope your fiends tests come out OK. Looks like you had a wonderful drive. Beautiful place for sure.

 

Just finished the last wax job prior to the dragon.

 

Pulled the tail light off Skooby to check & see if the fog light wiring was there. I planned to have Helix code it in after I added a switch. Guess what no light or wiring? MINI saved 5 pence building Skooby. :frown2:

 

That sucks, I was under the impression all the Clubbies had the wiring/bulb already in place...

 

Might vary by year. I know it was hit & miss for the Hatchbacks too. Oh well, since we didn't buy it new we didn't get the chance to order it with a rear fog. We did score on all the other things on the wish list.

 

Changed oil and filters gained 3mpg with the Royal Purple.

 

Pulled the wheels and dropped 'em off at the powder coater this morning.

 

Took RocketDog down to the dealer for a trip safety check, all is well, but poor RD is covered in MagChloride. :eek6:

I will get RD washed before Saturday so I can get some fresh dirt on the road, going to be out motoring for 10 days.

I will try to check in as internet allows.

Perfect day top-down bliss, sliding up the switchbacks to Roaring Gap, NC and Orchard Gap, VA, with about 30 miles of the BRP in between. Marveling at the difference a proper suspension setup makes on a MINI, vs. one that was "almost proper".

 

well yesterday I took it in for the 30,000 miles check up and some how came home in a different Mini. These damn things are addictive

 

Crash. Mine was hard to find, but it was there. It was all wrapped up tight with some other wiring and tucked away so it was not noticeable. You might want to take another look.
