What did you do with your MINI today?

Washed and waxed her! Also polished up the R95's Best investment I've made on the car yet!

 

We need pictures, we want pictures, we like pictures.

 

Drove to church and cooked breakfast for 150 people. Gonna take a nap now.

 

Just installed a Sprint Booster yesterday, I know it doesn't add any hp but

it really gets rid of the sluggish throttle response. I give it a 10 so far.

 

Couple of things........I hope you didn't get just regular PS fluid because our MINI's take some special Pentosin fluid.

And please don't use the Armor-All anymore. It will really shorten the life of any part it touches.

 

My buddy and I did a little maintenance on the Phenix today. Started by changing plugs, wires and cap, converted to a Pertronix electronic ignition, then adjusted carb and clutch.

Welcome changes to be sure.

 

Drove home from work as usual. Bobbing and weaving through traffic. I am starting to lose hope in finding a MINI owner who is as enthusiastic as me. Every MINI owner I see I either wave at them as they pass or chase them down and give them a thumbs up. Lately all the owners I've seen are older women who seem to be driving their cooper only because it's CUTE. I was even flipped off by a clubman (older woman) owner who must of thought I was some jacka$$ waving at her. Have yet to see a customized MINI between Portland and Salem Oregon. Maybe i'm the only one hah

 

^^^ Be Different

 

I have to run to the dealer today to pick up a trim molding for my door. While I was washing my car this weekend I noticed my drivers side one has a split in it and the rubber has separated from the rest of the molding. I guess I will be blacking out a new molding tonight. :smilewinkgrin::biggrin5:

 

Dropped it off at the shop for a fuel filter replacement and tire swap from winter to summer rubber. Then it goes to the detailer. I should see the car again on Wednesday.

 

Drove it to several locations to get wedding anniversary gifts for my lovely wife. Hope I did good.

 

I dropped it off at Cosner Brothers to let them replace the AC compressor (at their expense!) and to hopefully figure out what The Dreaded Noise is.

 

Got a compliment and was asked if it were a brand new one. Again.

 

I love when that happens especially at the dealership. I say nope this one is 9 years old and looks better then those new ones over there. :lol:

Most times people agree. :ihih:

 

We are questioning the swap out before the Dragon...Blizzacks vs. slicks? We've heard that we will ruin our winter set but, the Blizzacks do such a great job with the rain, which it looks like we'll be chasing from Colorado to N.C next week.....

 

I would not run Blizzacks on the Dragon. You want good summer tires with grip.

 

Winter might not be the best for the Dragon.

 

The dealer near me charges $400+ to replace just the fuel filter – what a rip off.
