    Chrome haters!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

    I like the belt line done... it blends the top and bottom together IMO.

    Went over to Best Motorworks to have Anson diagnose a possible vacuum leak.

    All new IB boots and clamps were installed, mine were long in the tooth anyway. And examination if the IC revealed a pin hole from something rubbing. Have to look into this more.

    Hahaha. I used my iPhone and when I uploaded it I selected the small picture. Not sure why it made it pixelated. However, I think pepper white minis with chrome is ok bc it doesn't contrast as much like black.

    Chrome is for sweet Blu R53's too..... :yesnod:

    Blacked out MINIs are the most common now. Even the factory is selling blacked out bits. :wink: One day I'll have the only one with chrome bits. :D

    Cleaned up under the bonnet last night and dressed up a few bits. In the process tripped the Air Bag warning light. A little to much water maybe? :frown2:

    I slayed the Dragon!

    I wanted to take some pictures of the Fall colors, but we're not quite there yet in NW Georgia. My buddy wanted to go, so we went to went over the mountain to Elijay. Took a few shots from atop the mountain, but the colors weren't there. We decided to run up to Blue Ridge. Not a lot action there either, so we went up towards Murphy, NC.

    Once we were in Murphy, I figured that I'd suggest we come back through Maryville and back down the freeway. As it turns out, US 129 was the right road to take! :biggrin5: (My buddy didn't know anything about the Dragon or it's lore.)

    We had a good time up there. Just made one run through, but we picked up some stickers, hat pins, and knick-knacks at the stores. I took a few pix just for fun. I want to go to MOTD in the spring!

    Nice pictures, I want to go now.:D

    Today I took off my Summer wheels (Enkei PF 01's wrapped in Dunlop Star Specs) and put on the Winter Tires. (Mini R90 boat anchors with Pilot Sport A/S Plus)

    I've been holding off on the Winter Tire Swap. But alas, I think the time is nigh. It has been a little too cool for summer tires, and a little to warm for winter tires. Maybe I need a set of between seasons tires and wheels too?

    ^^^ Cider blocks FTW! I feel bad typing that out, but I'm sure Nathan will forgive me. :fingerscrossed:

    Warshed the Blu one in preparation for the drive tomorrow. Have to start with a clean MINI so I can finish with a dirty one. :eek:ut:

    No miles added to my MINI today.:sad:

    I got a new job and I am back to working from home now so I guess I will need cinder blocks also. :idea: Maybe I will use my jack stands instead.
