A brand new highway opened this week in the Vancouver area so after work, I detoured to the Ferry Terminal and motored the highway to discover new sights. Great highway! The South Fraser Perimeter Highway. It's great drive. will have to get other MINIs to come along next time.
Got together with a couple of my buds this morning.... Had breakfast at Tommy's... Went back to the shop and added a sound system to the MINI cave.... Now I have tunes....
Today it's raining really good so I pulled my MINI out of the garage to see how the new wax holds up. Looking good and beading well.
I bought my MINI this past Tuesday an drive it with the rear head rests removed and the back of the back seats down. This developed a rattle from the seat belt fittings hitting against the hard plastic on the sides of the interior. I just got back from the hardware store where I bought some tape backed foam designed for household doors/windows and covered the offending parts of the buckles. One step at a time!:wink:
Nice fix. ^^^ MINI's make all kinds of little rattle sounds so I use peel and stick black felt from a craft store to kill the sounds when I find them.
It's a nice sunny day. Drove to the monthly library book sale and Herself scored a couple of cheap books. Then, went to lunch for fried catfish and chicken. (Don't tell my MD.)
Nothing :cryin: One of the springs on the overhead garage door failed sometime last night so the door is stuck in the closed position until the tech arrives tomorrow to release tension on the remaining spring and open the door.
Could have been worse. Thank your lucky stars you weren't half way in or out with your MINI when that thing went bang.
Took GIR out and gave him a proper bath. Three weeks of road grim and dirt, talk about ring around the tub.
Sorry Metalman, because I work during the day until after 6:00pm, my drives have been in the dark. It gets dark here at about 4:30pm this time of year. I definitely will take pictures when I am able to.
Going to be windy and warmer (40s), so I think it is time to dump the catch can. Did get out on Saturday with Scooter, a nice little city romp, perhaps on Wednesday (60s) I will get some quality Hydro time with Scooter. Don
Took the Cooper out this morning, aired up the tires and washed the car before going out for a drive. The Cooper is now back in the garage, clean and ready for warmer weather, hopefully soon!
This was a weekend filled with motoring activities... Took the Classic to breakfast with the local British Car Club folks and the R53 to the golf course in the afternoon on Saturday; worked on the race car all day Sunday... Doesn't get much more Mini than that!
In my morning commute I left my apartment and went for my first round of Timmy Ho's coffee. Found out they were like a buck off!! (WHOOP WHOOP) then proceeded on my 3 minute commute to work....I have also left work for every break (Mainly to Timmy Ho's for more coffee) just to drive her. I discovered a not so new new black S in the work parking lot. Man I really can't wait till it gets warmer. I am never going to be at work...
It's raining (check local listings) so left Bertie in the garage today since he's relatively clean. (Just normal car clean, not Mistress clean.)
