    How are you setting up the Bluetooth? I've been considering doing this but haven't found a solution I like yet.

    Wow, how big is that piece of scrap? MM....

    MINIs are tucked away, wife is working from home, about 3-4 inches and 5 degrees. Sucky day to be on the road in any car.

    Cats are mad as hell.

    Going to make breakfast with toast.....

    Washed Jezza in the driveway after work and parked him in the garage until the weather gets better.

    Removed the NM Torque Arm Bushing. This item is well made and does the job it is intended to do. I can not speak for how it preforms on an "S", but on a Justa, the noise and vibration was not worth the small gain I got. To be honest, the car is smoother and I do not notice a difference without it. Not putting the product down at all. It just didn't work out for me.

    Jim I agree with you. All of the dampers & engine mounts that I have used were nothing but NVH intensifiers. Fine for a track car not for my street car.

    Installed (if you can call it that) my Craven dipstick today (thanks Way, for the MA group-buy).

    Comments:
    A) It's a lot more flippy-floppy than I thought it would be... LOTS more! After 50+ years of cramming fencing rapiers into tubes attached to engine blocks, dropping this wiggly-worm in was a bit disconcerting. Upon reflection, it makes perfect sense, as a stiffer worm that needed forced insertion would be almost impossible to get it in due to its flexibility.

    B) I can read my MINI's oil level easily now!!!!
