What did you do with your MINI today?

Had CHKMINI take the car for a pre-dragon test drive to make sure all the working bits are in order. Received a clean bill of health.

Must say, I don't think silverback has had that type of spirited drive in a good while. I think I need to let CHKMINI borrow the car every now and then.

I don't think I've said it in a couple of years, so here goes:
PRIMA AMIGO IS AWESOME and NICK AND HEATHER ARE MY HEROES

My 5" backing plate for my polisher disintegrated early in the day, so I had to improvise... added some velcro to my 6" porter cable sanding plate and made do with that, plus my 3" velcro backing plate. Have another 5" plate on order.

Blimey is shiny again... just need to pack. Oh yeah... and still have to work three more days... boooooooooo

 

Pick up my crower NS-1 cam in Boston this morning and more stickers

 

Motored to my meth dealer and bought enough meth to kill many mere mortals.

 

Finally got to worsh RDNZL and get it back in garage, with all the things to do with the new house I don't know how much I can get done before we leave but I'm gonna try. Oh, I made these today for my Enkei's!

 

Glad to see you are still the same old Mr Jim. Waiting to do winter projects mere days before MOTD. :lol::lol:

Jim

 

Today I drove the Dragon, washed my car and sat back with a cold beer and admired my work.

 

washing the GP, finishing cleanup on wife's Roadster, rotating wife's tires and changing the oil on her car.

 

Washed Skoooby the clubster again. Hope it stays clean until tomorrow afternoon.

Checked the oil. Hey everyone CHECK YOUR OIL.

 

Washed Dark Helmet and packed him up for the sprint down. Dragon trip...Dragon trip...Dragon trip.

 

Those kinda look like donuts Jim..... :donut1:

 

Packed it for the trip

 

Also packed!

 

Packed it except for the cooler of cold beer.

 

Also packed it...

 

vacuumed wife's car and mine. Washed mine, changed her oil and rotated tires. Loaded them both and ready to go in the morning. I should have paid more attention and asked how hard it is to change that damn oil filter. Not sure who designed it but in that roadster there is a lot of crap in the way of getting it out and back in is even tougher, but got it done! Ready to leave

 

Today I burnt up a front set of EBC Reds on he Dragon.:mad5::mad2::incazzato:

This is the second set of EBC Reds that I have where the pads have separated from the backing plates on both sides. I am glad I had spare new set of EBC Reds to put on and my buddy Mike from Helix and I put them on tonight.

HELIX customer servers rocks!

I am done with EBC Reds and will now be running Carbotech pads at the Dragon from now on.

 

Glad'ta hear it only took'ya two failures to finally ditch those pads..... :idea:

 

Glad to hear no rotor damage and you're set for the rest of the week.
